Was everyone really expecting the warriors to win in 2022, or was it because you knew how great of a player Steph is? I get that a lot of curry fans are annoying and they try to put him over Lebron when they shouldn’t be, but Steph’s run in the 2022 playoffs and in the 2022 finals was one of the best runs I’ve had the pleasure of watching. I get that you’re a Lebron fan, but you don’t have to tear Curry down to appreciate Lebron’s greatness. Curry has been key in setting the precedent for basketball in the modern era, and part of the narrative in 2022 was that Steph would never win another title or a finals mvp, and HE DID. He averaged 31, 5, & 6, and 2 steals… LITERALLY his 2015-2016 regular season stats, but in the 2022 FINALS with NO INJURIES, NO KD, and a lot of people thought the warriors were done.

As a lifelong warriors fan and Bay area native, the fact that you chose that Rick Barry playoff run over any of the Steph era shows you did your research. Cause we all adore Steph and i think he's unquestionably the greatest warrior ever, and his run in 2022 was my FAVORITE season ever as a fan of basketball, rick put up video game numbers in that run. I mean, that Washington team was pretty much as big of a favorite as you could possibly be, and not only did the warriors win, they swept the number one seed in the East! I mean, the second best player on that warriors team was A ROOKIE! A fantastic rookie in Jamal Wilkes who would become a great in his own right, but he was a rookie in 75 and Rick Barry basically played point guard as a 6'7" small forward. I'd still probably put 2022 Steph up there just cause to me, he somehow won a championship against the Boston Celtics with Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, and half a Klay Thompson.

Elton Brand was pretty damn good in 2006 but if you were seriously considering one of the Kawhi runs I think Paul George in 2021 should've gotten the nod for us.

Against such stacked competition as the g league pacers, the injured trash bros, and a Celtics team so battered by injuries 19 year rookie Tatum was their best player yet lebron needed seven games to beat rookie tatum
The gus williams shoutout was pretty cool. Nobody really knows much about the 79 sonics team that won it all and most people credit Dennis Johnson who won finals MVP. Gus Williams was definitely their guy for that run tho.
Part of the reason why the Sonic run is forgotten is because their team moved, and part of it is because the 70’s are forgotten on the whole. Side note on Gus Williams: He’s one of 122 players to finish top five in an MVP vote at least once, doing so as the best player on a 52 win Sonics team in 1982.
That 1979 Sonics team was great, and I wish they got way more props today. Besides Dennis and Gus, they also had Jack Sikma, Paul Silas and Fred Brown. All underrated players. Sikma has always been a favorite of mine in particular, though I was never around to see him play. For sure the most underrated team ever, aside from the 2004 Pistons.
@@romanramirez7847The 04 Pistons may be a tad underrated, but I generally see them referred to as a great defensive team. I almost never see the 79 Sonics brought up, so to me that’s a tad more underrated.
warriors in 2022 were given a 13% chance to win the finals and they were only picked by one or two analysts out of like 40 to start the playoffs not only that but steph averaged 31 in the finals
They were supposed to win the only reason they dropped in seedings was because of injuries also the warriors had the best record in the NBA after 25 games like the nuggets did this year
2022 wasn’t that good Boston was not the best team in the east they were lucky jimmy butler got hurt in game 3 which affected him for game 4 and 5 and that the refs took away max strus 3 pointer, and the warriors never had to face anybody good the west was insanely weak last year

"Some choices were easier than others" Dirk I suppose this answers my Overrated, Underrated, or Properly Rated request though :) thanks for that btw Also, to your point, in 2006, the Heat absolutely had a super team with their Big Three of D-Wade, Shaq, and the refs

Thank you Barry for the perfectly timed video keeping my mind off of work and my wife's boyfriend currently at my home having pre-marital sex, you are truly a class act, Barry.
Rick Barrys is by far better because as an underdog he fucking swept the washington bullets, which were way better at the time he honestly did it mostly himself
If you need video ideas. Best team from every franchise. Fate of the universe on the line. The martians have the death beam pointed at earth I WANT THE KD WARRIORS
Wow, the comments for this are a war zone. I personally still think that Steph had the best Warriors playoffs run in 2022, especially considering his finals, but I am happy to see Barry getting shine when his is frequently forgotten
Dirks 2011 run shows why stats and advanced stats can't and don't tell the whole story, Wade was better statistically than Dirk but in the 4th quarter Dirk slaughtered the Heat especially the big 3.
That was the most Barry has ever talked about the Wizards! I’m on top of da world. Well, I guess it was actually the bullets he was talking about, idk still counts
Saying 1975 Rick Barry over 2022 Steph is pretty major hate but at the same time a lot of people do like to pretend the warriors franchise didn't exist before 2009 so W selection
Knowing Barry Lebron will be on here multiple times, Kobe won’t be on this list at all and MJ will be on the list but will be discredited because he played against “plumbers”😂

@@pattyweston-mg8kz I think Barry is hilarious and very noble for trying to bring awareness to marijuana overdose, which kills an estimated 46 million people worldwide each year, but I do think he deleted it to not look wrong. I found that funny.
One that I think deserves mention: Allen Iverson’s 55 point game on 74.6% true shooters vs Charlotte in the 2003 playoffs. Only three other players have a playoff game with as many points, and as high a true shooting percentage, and all came in games that were much higher scoring overall.
I already know the pick for Cleveland is 2016 because it ended in a title, but i would argue that it should be 2007 because it was one young man against the world.

Part of the reason why the Sonic run is forgotten is because their team moved, and part of it is because the 70’s are forgotten on the whole.
Side note on Gus Williams:
He’s one of 122 players to finish top five in an MVP vote at least once, doing so as the best player on a 52 win Sonics team in 1982.
That 1979 Sonics team was great, and I wish they got way more props today. Besides Dennis and Gus, they also had Jack Sikma, Paul Silas and Fred Brown. All underrated players. Sikma has always been a favorite of mine in particular, though I was never around to see him play. For sure the most underrated team ever, aside from the 2004 Pistons.
@@romanramirez7847The 04 Pistons may be a tad underrated, but I generally see them referred to as a great defensive team.
I almost never see the 79 Sonics brought up, so to me that’s a tad more underrated.
warriors in 2022 were given a 13% chance to win the finals and they were only picked by one or two analysts out of like 40 to start the playoffs
not only that but steph averaged 31 in the finals
Saying the warriors were expected to win last year is the most revisionist thing I’ve ever heard
They were supposed to win the only reason they dropped in seedings was because of injuries also the warriors had the best record in the NBA after 25 games like the nuggets did this year
Ngl having 2012 Lebron over 2006 Dwayne wade is encredibly disrespectful and the warriors weren’t expected to win in 2022
2006 depends entirely upon how convinced you are that the series was[n't] rigged.
because he is d riding lebron and hates steph and kd
@@BlueGrovyle I guess 2016 is rigged too? Let me guess you finna defend lebron 😂.
2022 wasn’t that good Boston was not the best team in the east they were lucky jimmy butler got hurt in game 3 which affected him for game 4 and 5 and that the refs took away max strus 3 pointer, and the warriors never had to face anybody good the west was insanely weak last year
@@BlueGrovyle nba is probably rigged in general
Every NBA Team’s Greatest Playoff Series Win:
Boston Celtics: 1981 Eastern Conference Finals
Chicago Bulls: 1998 NBA Finals
Cleveland Cavaliers: 2016 NBA Finals
Dallas Mavericks: 2011 NBA Finals
Denver Nuggets: 2023 Western Conference Finals
Houston Rockets: 1994 NBA Finals
Milwaukee Bucks: 2021 Eastern Conference Semifinals
Update Nikola Jokić won the NBA championship so what you said about him aged well.
"Knee Wade" 😂
Thats why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique of all time
Mad props for Rick Barry. Despite being a prick and shooting underhand free-throws, he was why they won the title.
Paul George not getting picked for the clippers is criminal , man led in almost every stat
bro steph was an underdog in 2022, every analyst was tripping over each other picking the celtics
Bro said Steph was expected to win in 2022 lmao definitely not biased
Cant win with Warriors fans? Dont believe in the team? You're an idiot for doubting Curry. Believing in the team? You're definitely biased. Whatchu want then? 😂😂😂
i love barry but yeh horrendous take
def the worst take
Worst take I’ve heard in a while lmaoooo
Well, the warriors where the team with finals experience so……
rick barry went crazy for the warriors Cinderella run
Most overlooked stat of giannis, where he almost blew out his knee against the hawks
Scariest part about Kawhi on the Clippers during the playoffs is he’s been even better than he was in Toronto…
And 0 rings to show for it
It really is a shame. If he didn't make the choice of going to one of the most cursed sports franchises we would be having top 15 conversations
Barry: *doesn’t select 2022 Steph for the GSW slot because Steph was always expected to win*
Also Barry: *selects LeBron 2012 for the Miami slot even though Miami was favored to win at the start of the preseason*
Select who you want idc but at least make the reasoning a bit more consistent to hide your bias lol
I'm pretty sure the 2012 Thunder were favored over the Heat.
@@kuhieyei3855actually I was surprised as well, although the heat were preseason favorites, the Thunder had better odds going into the finals.
He didn’t pick Joe Fulks either, drop 63.
@@kuhieyei3855 I'm not a LeBron fan, go look up the odds on basketball reference you uncultured swine
You just exposed your self little cuck curry fan okc was vegas odds favourite in the finals lmaoo😂😂😂
Flightreacts aside, I don’t think I ever met a toxic curry fan
Agitating the Kobe stans is always bold and scientifically accurate most of the time.
That Kawhi run was something else man
I click on these solely to watch the lebron glazing and I’ll never get tired of it
Those really were some great advanced stats
when you died explaining the hornets one i died 😂😂
3:00 I can remember my best combo of efficiency and valium that I ever had, the night ended well to say the least :)
"Some choices were easier than others"
Dirk
I suppose this answers my Overrated, Underrated, or Properly Rated request though :) thanks for that btw
Also, to your point, in 2006, the Heat absolutely had a super team with their Big Three of D-Wade, Shaq, and the refs
For real
If Wade tripped in his way out of the bus, he'd already get his free throws
the refs didn’t do anything besides give d wade his fairly earned free throws (mavs couldn’t guard d wade even if their lives depended on it)
The mavs couldn’t guard d wade for shit they just fouled every single time. If you look at the stat sheet it looks bad but d wade got fouled every single time at the rim
He thinks Dirk is rated properly overall
Love the the little dashes of jokes in the vid, no lie.. 😂
Thank you Barry for the perfectly timed video keeping my mind off of work and my wife's boyfriend currently at my home having pre-marital sex, you are truly a class act, Barry.
Rick Barrys is by far better because as an underdog he fucking swept the washington bullets, which were way better at the time he honestly did it mostly himself
I think only one other player on his team averaged 10 points
do this video but for just the best playoff runs for each team
How is clippers not Paul George 2021
Bro put Rick Barry over Steph’s 2022 or his 2015 run 😭
Rick carried that team that had no business even being there. He had no help
The Hornets player putting up Caleb Martin stats 😭
As a Pacers fan in the Reggie age....Jordan was inevitable. He is the goat.
The Sacramento one is crazy, every Sac fan in their right mind will always say '02
33/13/9 is crazy tho
If you need video ideas. Best team from every franchise.
Fate of the universe on the line. The martians have the death beam pointed at earth
I WANT THE KD WARRIORS
Wow, the comments for this are a war zone. I personally still think that Steph had the best Warriors playoffs run in 2022, especially considering his finals, but I am happy to see Barry getting shine when his is frequently forgotten
Rick Barry's is one the biggest carry jobs too. Up their with Dirk's title run
KG 2004 underrated. best peak ive seen this century outside of lebron prime
Hell yeah, new Barry. Let's do this 🤘
Nah Barry was hating 😭
Basketball reference needs to sponsor Barry
Always love you NBA content 🏀🥰
2003 Duncan is the greatest carry job and individual run in nba history.
Dirks 2011 run shows why stats and advanced stats can't and don't tell the whole story, Wade was better statistically than Dirk but in the 4th quarter Dirk slaughtered the Heat especially the big 3.
Can you please do this for football too?
When a new Barry Banger drops 🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was the most Barry has ever talked about the Wizards! I’m on top of da world. Well, I guess it was actually the bullets he was talking about, idk still counts
We need an all time 5 round draft please!! Every player in their prime
Barry, fan form Brazil.
Can you do a video about your opinion on Kevin Durant as a player and overall carrer?
God bless you.
24 minutes of a still image of his foot over line. Best I can do.
Curry's 31 against the best defence in the league just doesn't cut it. Steph hate is real
Bulls shoudve been that boy Scottie Pippen in 1998. Everybody saw him put Jordan on his back (that was broken) and still got it done in game 6.
This sounds like something Draymond would say. Quite the troll
Kya
Knicks aren’t a historic franchise so much an iconic stadium and historically passionate (and scorned) fanbase
90 was MJ's best postseason, 93 was his most impressive considering the opponents.
If we do run overall then 93.
If we do single series, I say either the 93 finals or 88 first round.
Saying 1975 Rick Barry over 2022 Steph is pretty major hate but at the same time a lot of people do like to pretend the warriors franchise didn't exist before 2009 so W selection
the warriors take is why i fucking love you, youre a godsend
Glad someone said it
- me whenever I watch your videos
Knowing Barry Lebron will be on here multiple times, Kobe won’t be on this list at all and MJ will be on the list but will be discredited because he played against “plumbers”😂
If the heat win these finals that would be the best playoff run of all time
why mj 91 over mj 93 when he averaged 43 through the playoffs and 41 in the finals
It's easy to avg 40 when you're playing against expansion teams and the least talented era in basketball history and MJ changing the rules to win a chip
@@pattyweston-mg8kz The Volume and Efficiency of 91. An the 11.2 Assists during the 91 finals.
Bro really deleted his Heat Nuggets prediction video after he was wrong about game 2 😂
@@pattyweston-mg8kz I think Barry is hilarious and very noble for trying to bring awareness to marijuana overdose, which kills an estimated 46 million people worldwide each year, but I do think he deleted it to not look wrong. I found that funny.
Last time I was this early, the Hawks were in the Western Division
as a hornets/panthers/NCST fan… my life is pain
Knee Wade best nickname
An idea for the best game or best playoff game of every NBA superstar's career? That would be pretty cool
One that I think deserves mention:
Allen Iverson’s 55 point game on 74.6% true shooters vs Charlotte in the 2003 playoffs.
Only three other players have a playoff game with as many points, and as high a true shooting percentage, and all came in games that were much higher scoring overall.
No Seattle SuperSonics?? I won’t forget or forgive this
Barry, give us your all-time starting 5 video
I already know the pick for Cleveland is 2016 because it ended in a title, but i would argue that it should be 2007 because it was one young man against the world.
I think 2018 was more impressed than 2007, but that’s just me
@@fortynights1513 I mean that's a good one. Two roster blow ups in one season. Still made the Finals.
@@fortynights1513He got swept in 2018 tho
