Which are set up by illegal screens that would make 2014-2015 Clippers team blush
jordan plays some form of defense, curry doesnt
most of jordans pts are his midrange and inside game, while curry loves to shoot 10 3s a game....

The same media folks that voted for Kirby as Final MVP in 2010ing ESPN mandidn't they put Wade's 2006 NBA Finals performance as the greatest in NBA history? Lol
You're a terrible trollThat stupid list(that had Kobe at 12) is based on career long accomplishments
This article is about Steph having the best season we have ever seen in the NBA
Curry is most definitely having a historical season, and the numbers back that up, however ....
1) The league had fewer teams back then, so the drop from starters to backup is less so because the talent gap isn't as much. This has a direct impact on VORP or BSPM
2) Jordan was miles better on defense
3) Curry had the entire offense designed around him, because the rule changes allowed it. The league rules today strongly discourages double teams, which allows a single player to put up phenomenal stats.
Again, it is no coincidence that wing players have been dominating the last decade or so. Players like Curry, Westbrook, Durant, Lebron, Harden , Rose, and Wade would still be really good players in any other era, but I am not sold that they will be able to dominate the way they did at their peaks. A player like Wade was really a surprise in terms of how dominant he became, and that is why he was drafted 5th in the draft (and a surprisingly high pick at that point), instead of 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Granted it was a loaded draft, but his skill set wouldn't have been as effective in a league with illegal defense, hand checking, and a closed down lane. Same with Rose, Harden and Westbrook. They are not the first supremely athletic wing players the league have ever seen, but they are the first generation to have rules that are friendly to their games.
What the are you smoking all steph does is shoot. No post game not much else.Curry is not an overall better player than Jordan however his offensive game is much more complete than Jordan's. Jordan would average more 2 point field goal attempts and less in threes. Jordan could get past anyone. Jordan had the size and genetic athleticism to finish. Jordan finished his career almost shooting 50% Jordan Averaged 30 his entire career. Jordan could not be stopped. Jordan would score and sure as did not want anyone scoring on him. He won a defensive player of the league because he was one of the best defensive shooting guards in NBA history.
Curry is the best three point shooter of all time.already. Curry has 3 times as much three point attempts as Jordan. Granted that Curry won't have a high usage because of how their team works, he won't ever have as many points per game nor career points as Jordan. Had curry been in the league earlier (came in at 21), he would have had more points to show for in the league.
This is not really a fair comparison. Stephen Curry is great elite despite how limited he is in comparison to a majority of the freak athletes in the league. Jordan not only capitalized on his genetic gifts, he also became elite at the fundamentals. Various players in the league could be like Jordan but lack the work ethic and currently players are spoiled with wealth, pussy(or paid for it), groupies, and self interest.
You knows whats FUNNY? Curry and LJ were born in Akron Ohio. I don't think Cleveland fans know that.
Are you trying to say that Curry is better/more complete offensively than Jordan because he shoots the 3 better and more often? LOL. Jordan still shot the 3 at a decent clip, but didn't have to chuck 10 times a game because his midrange game and driving were so efficient. He didn't need to take a less efficient shot like Steph does.Curry is not an overall better player than Jordan however his offensive game is much more complete than Jordan's.

^^ Steph is more efficient than MJ
ambchang with the thread ending goods tbh
Thats an understatement, worst one in here by far.
You know damn well he is a Lakers fan too hiding behind another teams name.
There really wasn't much of an attempt to hide.
You're an idiot and simpleminded fool to just make that statement without anything else to back it. This something someone who only watches the ball would say.
Stephen Curry elite ball handling ability allows him to drive to the rim against anyone however he has no size nor the gifted athleticism to finish emphatically strong. Despite that, he's adjusted to that by using the rim or body to protect his shot and mastering reverse layups. Stephen Curry sets screens off ball to get open or cuts off ball to the basket since he's a threat everywhere from the court. The same plays they run for Thompson; they run for Curry. Curry does not need a post ing game. He's a point guard. By your logic, if Curry has no excuse to be terrible in the post, Jordan didn't have an excuse to be an awful three point shooter. This why its not fair to compare the two. His size nor strength doesn't allow him to post up anyone. Since he shoots threes like layups, whats the need for it.
Once again, Curry is a POINT guard. He shoots the ball so much that someone would make an ignorant statement such as "What the are you smoking all steph does is shoot. No post game not much else". He's actually an elite combo guard since he's taken so many attempts. He's a shooting guard by literal definition and a point guard second. Curry ranks 11th in total assists.
I doubt you ing read any of those advanced stats and immediately went in full homer mode to attack Curry based on your casual fan perspective.
Once again...a simple as narrow minded statement "Are you trying to say that Curry is better/more complete offensively than Jordan because he shoots the 3 better and more often? LOL."
Jordan shot at a terrible percentage in comparison to what Curry does. Don't sugarcoat it just because its Jordan. All men must die. Curry is an efficient shooter from everywhere on the court, even two pointers dumbass.
He is a better and more complete offensive player than Jordan was. He doesn't need the ball to be effective and can distribute the ball way better than Jordan could. That wasn't Jordan's role which makes it a bad comparison. Curry can get to any place on the floor and can't be stopped. Curry can make any shot from half court and beyond.
You know that Curry's three point shooting is efficient? Like I said, he's chucking a layup. He's worked on that shot and he's patented it....I don't know why you guys are acting like Curry's elite play is a ing mystery or is it that you guys can't handle the comparison without an unbiased view. Curry leads the league with 32.1 PER, True Shooting, offensive win shares. What does that say about his scoring efficiency?
Most of all, I said the Michael Jordan was the overall better player. He was an elite defender and ruthless scorer. Curry is a par under average. He already got dominated by Lillard but he'll make sure he gets his too. He's limited to his size and athleticism which is unfair since Jordan has a natural advantage. You can't truly compare the two.
Both these players were elite at their roles and the best in the league during their era.
What is with these trolls however...are these..all KAM trying to with me or something...or thread. I don't know. Someone who knows I support Curry. Has to be.
And that list put him at 23 based on it. Agree. Dumb.That stupid list(that had Kobe at 12

You cant mess with the Jordan supporters. I remember when people were saying Wade's first Finals run was as impressive or more so than Jordan's and people got bent out of shape. it was early on in the metrics movement for the media and they loved how much he went to the line and that drove Jordan (and Mavs fans nuts). Do I think some of the refs sucked in that series? Yep. was it is a conspiracy against Cubes? Or to prop up Wade as the next MJ? Nope. anytime someone is given a edge on MJ even for a season or a series the haters get all bent. Even when Lebron busted up the Pistons people were hating on anyone that argued it was Jordanesque. I look forward to the day someone finally does supplant MJ. I dont think that player is in the league or even college yet ...and I dont hate Jordan he is the GOAT but the worship is crazy.
But steph is just amazing. HE overcame the ankle injuries. The small frame. He went from a solid ball handler to handles that are probably top 3 if not best in the league. as you said his layup game is amazing ...reverses, floaters, flips high off the glass he has it all. And he is a willing and good passer too. The left hand off the bounce passes he threw versus the clips is EXTREMELY difficult even for a passing God Like Lebron and Curry has added that to his game. Just a joy to watch probably my favorite non Laker since Kemp/GP/Penny era and Curry is better than any of those guys ...saying this one season is Jordanesque or better is not a knock on MJ though some act as though it is ...

Steph is having one great season. That said he is still nowhere near Jordan, really any of Jordan's seasons.. He is simply the best player of his or really any generation..
currys production from shooting alot of 3s
jordan is inside 3pt line
thats a huge difference in pts from every basket made by curry compared to jordan which is 2pts each vs 3pts each...jordan has to work for his pts since his not a sharp shooter like curry
Steph is definitely better than '01-'03 Jordan. I give him that.
All this got me thinking, why is a player like curry, who really isn't all that athletic or physically imposing, dominating he league with these super human athletes?
I thought the jump in training and human evolution was all that counted.
Curry has had eastern bloc training so it doesn't show in the current NBA but if he played during the 90's he would have been the most athletic player on the court.
True. Never thought of that.
He would have averaged 100 points and GSW would go 82-0 with an average margin of victory of 45 ppg. They'd be like the dream team vs Angola every game.
Wow, this is big news if true. My good friend Ethan Strauss of r/NBA breaks down the legend of Stephen Curry versus the great Michael Jordan #NBA #GSWarriors #Bulls
Who do you think is better, NBA fans? RETWEET for Curry, FAV for Jordan
