    If Klay goes anywhere else, he'll be exposed as a fraud. He's only good there. Same with Draymond.

    So if Klay is a moron, he'll leave. I want him to leave. Just for the laughs.

    Dray came in fat and then changed up his diet. His shooting is the liability in the game and it's being exposed with KD out. He's nowhere near the DPOY level he was at in 2017.

    I disagree. He's been completely dominant in the playoffs. Maybe not so much against Toronto, but he's dealing with multiples of Kawhi, Siakim, Ibaka, and Gasol every play. That's a ton of front line talent to contend with, but they've had to work hard for everything against Green.

    Dray just won that game defensively on that last play doubling down in fronting Gasol then rotating out to get a fingertip blocking Lowry’s Potentially series winning shot. He is still a damn good player!

    I still cannot believe the Raptors coach bailed the Warriors out with a timeout at the 3 minute mark up 6 and all the Warriors players dejectedly hanging their heads. It would have been easy given the momentum at that moment to go up 8 or 9 and then they’d be celebrating in Toronto Eh!!!

    What is this? Klay is amazing on both offense and defense. Phenomenal player.

    I respect your opinion but disagree that both the guys are only good because they are playing with Curry & Company.
    The two guys you mentioned are super defenders and Klay can dominate a game as any super star in league.

    I disagree. A player can go wherever they want and doesn't mean he's a fraud etc. Klay is a superstar and would be a superstar for any team he plays for.

    It will be interesting to see how each team comes out and plays in game 6. On one hand, Toronto has proven they can will in GS, but if GS can hold serve they have also proven they can win in Toronto. Last nights game can be the type that rattles a team as Toronto should be crowned NBA champs but they failed to get it done last night.

    SUPERSTAR is a stretch. I think there is only about 5 or so SUPERSTARS in the league in my opinion. Allstar, sure.

    AD doesn't belong yet. Dame and AD are right there and both need more success to get to Superstar level in my opinion. Also I think Kawhi (especially if he wins another ring) goes above AD and Dame and might be the 5th superstar.

    Okay. Sub Kwahi for AD( you are right)

    Thats still 6. But maybe LBJ is about to be demoted to all star. honestly, i'm not sold on Giannis either. Just added him because he as MVP.

    Fair enough. I thought there were more, but maybe that HC...whatever his acronym is, is right.

    Lebron, Curry, Harden, KD, and Kawhi is 5, good sir. :)
    I'm saying AD and Dame are the next two and it kind of depends on how we're defining superstar, they're really close.
    Edit: With Giannis, that's 6, but are we including him or not?

    I was just thinking there were more than the 5 HCP had said. But in thinking about it and listing them, I think he is right.
