I just want to appreciate how even after 6 years, Lebron Steph games are still some of the most hyped games in the NBA. I'll miss these games once they get old and retire

[tonys]

Steph was unbelievable last night while getting doubled and tripled teamed

[liamhall]

“Steph didn’t preform in the 4th”
He had 11 in the 4th and 6 in the last 3 minutes WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE HIM TO DO PULL A KLAY THOMPSON AND SCORE 37 IN A QUARTER OMFG

[othusitsemmusi]

Headlines: “Steph is donating to feed the needy”

Max: “But Steph choked”, “Iguadala”, “He needed KD”🙄

[sb]

For Max to deny Steph was the best player on the court last night just shows he’s officially Steph Curry’s Skip Bayless

[alanacevedo]

Max is bugging, Steph was the best player on the court yesterday. Getting doubled and tripled teamed the WHOLE game and still dropping an efficient 37 points while getting his teammates involved.

[lvdagr]

He dropped 37 on 50% shooting while getting triple teamed with no help against the number 1 defense in the league. No other player could have done that.

[MADWEIRD]

Even most Laker fans don’t believe Bron was the best player on the court yesterday

[isaiahatwater]

When it mattered most, Steph was getting tripled teamed. The disrespect getting put on Steph is insane, No other player is getting that type of attention. He dropped 37 while getting that all game, And almost beat the defending champs by himself.

[HowardPVE]

If Klay was there, they wouldn’t have been playing last night

[gothamcity]

Max be tripping, steph was the best player in court last night. Props to bron tho.

[jenishparekh]

I don't deny Jokic is playing a unique kind of basketball but man... curry is unbelievable!
Getting 3 or 4 players on him and still putting it in! I mean... come on Max!!! You cannot play the hate game!

[datsapaddlin]

He definitely was the best scorer in the league this year. That’s a fact

[jvnr]

Stephen Curry played his best this year despite not making it to the playoffs, they way he carried the team and the numbers he put up shut a lot of doubters & haters up. Mad respect to this brother🙏

[electrounusual]

Even in the finals of 2018 Steph didn't choke, he got doubled teamed throughout still outscored kd in 3 games

[hamzarxja]

Another day, another segment when Max goes without giving Steph his props, what’s new?

[pstriple]

Max always does this nonsense. Steph was the only one scoring at the end of that game for the Warriors and wants to say that he wasn't there when it mattered most.

[whoisdannykane]

“Until it mattered most” like Steph wasn’t getting triple teamed every time he touched the ball and lebron hits a fade way from halfcourt, a shot he’ll never make again in his life.

[liamhall]

This dude Steph had 37 points while being triple teamed, 7 rebounds and 3 assists
CAN SOMEBODY ELSE PLEASE STEP UP FOR GOLDEN STATE
(Wiggins had 21 points on 10-18 shooting, but normally nobody else steps up)

[ryanblack]

Wait I haven’t watched yet, I bet Stephen A says “The greatest shooter in the world”
