Lillard on Golden State beats San Antonio last night.
I pick Lillard.
I pick Lillard.

I'm not sure what podcast I was listening to today, been a long day, but Lillard was brought up and the two hosts mentioned the fact they thought Lillard may be the physically strongest PG in the league. Watching Lillard he sure looks like he could be the strongest.
Oh lord. Is there a jackoff smiley?
I'd take Tony Parker over either of them, or at least a young Tony Parker.
since what I said wasn't really arguing against what he said, and he replied with saying it was "literally" the same thing (which it isn't), I'm not sure how your comment is in tune with it. but whatever, it's Friday.
Pedantics is not fun for anyone.
what do dinosaurs have to do with anything?
I thought those were doctors for children.
Lillard is way way better and it's not even close. Lillard may win MVP (or MVP of the Finals even) one day. Curry never will.
In terms of what? Efficiency? Nope. Playoff numbers? Nope. Shooting percentages? Nope again.

I like Lillard. I think he has a chance to be a really good player, but it's OK to let him get there first (or not) before anointing him.
They should've passed on Iggy and re-signed Jack and Landry. They were a near WCF team with those guys last season and Barnes blossoming in the starting SF spot. They had a horrible offseason and are now a lotto team. Sad.
It’s a great question and really close; but if I was a different NBA team right now I’d rather have Curry or Irving over Lillard. Curry has proven himself for longer, Irving has proven as much as Lillard but is 2 years younger and more athletic. Irving made some amazing plays in the game against us, and he doesn’t have the supporting cast the other two benefit from. Curry is a better playmaker for teammates and his defense has improved since he entered the league. Curry and Lillard are both deadly shooters but I might have to rank Curry just a tiny bit higher.
But it’s a really close comparison, and its one of those hypotheticals where either team is most happy to stick with what they have now.
All three of these players can be a key to a championship team. Either player can setup and run a high powered offense. At the end of the day the success they have is going to come down to what teammates they have around them.
Curry is, without a doubt, the better player. However, his durability concerns me - and I like Lillard in the 4th - so I'll keep Lillard.
Let's get Killard into the post season and have this talk again. T-Mac was also proficient in scoring, TS% and eFG% throughout his career; yet he had never personally led his team into the second round.
What Killard has is "clutch factor". Even Curry himself admitted that the last game winning shot he had a few games ago was his first since high school. I think "clutch" is the most important factor for player worth for post season.
This is my whole point. Curry lead the Dubs into the second round just last year, where they went six games with the eventual WCF champion Spurs. Until Lillard gets to the playoffs and proves that he's this so-called "Killard," Kingspeed saying he's better than Curry RIGHT NOW is completely premature. I say all of this, thinking that Lillard is very good and has a chance to be special, but it has to be demonstrated first.
In terms of what? Efficiency? Nope. Playoff numbers? Nope. Shooting percentages? Nope again.

You guys are crazy.
But we know Lillard will get there so I'll take Lillard. Lillard leading team to 22-5 record. All that matters. Curry has never done that.
I'll take Lillard. He is only in the beginnings of his second season and still has a great deal of room to improve. I, however, unlike most people, realize that a 23 year old can contain potential just like a 21 year old, such as Kyrie Irving, does.
Do people forget MJ came out of college as a junior? You didn't see people blasting him for his "lack of potential due to age"? It's just some bullshit people have made up. Furthermore, Irving has proven to be quite fragile every season he has played, including college. Also for those saying that they'd take Irving because he has more potential, uh Damian is 2 years younger than Steph Curry... So, yeah...
Lillard is a superstar. I've said it from pre-draft and I'll continue to say it. He will be one of the best PGs very, very soon.

I love Damian but there are concerns for me. Remember back in the days of Damon Stoudimire, how any time he would take it into the paint he would get blocked? Damian has this same issue. I made a comment in my post that Stephon is more elusive than Damian. One thing I wish is that Damian was more elusive. He relies on his strength and power when taking it inside. The problem is he is still not getting the calls like a lot of other guys. About four games ago there were several of us asking "Come one Damian, what's wrong with you?". If he is not hitting his shot from the outside, I feel he becomes limited just due to him not getting the respect when taking it in the paint and getting a call. The elusive thing is a concern for me. But let's how he continues to compensate for that.
*have curry as an all star lock. Haha i need a tablet
