Stephen Curry vs. Michael Jordan ..... Who will wind up as the Best Ever ?

[Betallsports]

Why not ... We have always talked about Kobe vs. Jordan

 

[JustinCruise]

Curry should get ZERO votes here

If he gets even one vote it's criminal

 

[ANOTHERDAY]

Curry would never make it through a season in the 80's or 90's. He would be pounded and battered and he would be lucky to get in the high teens back then. Totally different era today. He is miles away from the greats

 

[raiders72]

So far it's all Jordan.

Jordan made the all star game every year of his career except the baseball year where he played 17 games.

Curry made 3 all star games but missed making the all star team in 4 years.

Um, anyone who wins back-to-back MVP awards, including the only unanimous MVP award in history is already great.

 

[raiders72]

If Curry's career ended today, I'd but the following point guards ahead of Curry.

Magic
Isiah
Nash
Stockton
Big O

 

[Acebb]

Since Curry isn't as good as a basketball player as Lebron, why compare him to Jordan?

 

[Betallsports]

Don't even think he could catch him on anything really ...

I would take this year's Curry over this year's LeBron.

Big O

Stockton ahead of Curry? no way

 

[bukis1]

This thread is for entertainment purposes only! lol

Curry compared to MJ is funny

 

[festeringZit]

Curry > LeBron.

At least this year.

 

[tatehill2000]

Isaiah, hahah,,, better than curry??, FK NO WAY,,,

Curry is 1000 time ssmarter player, isaiah is a choker,,

I think the consensus of this board is such,,, CURRYs Game Fits PERFECTLY in 2015-16-17 NBA,,,,

the better thread should be,,



If you Took any guard from the past 20 years WHO COULD DO WHAT CURRY does??

1. Allan Iverson

Um, anyone who wins back-to-back MVP awards, including the only unanimous MVP award in history is already great.

Agreed.....this whole wacky complaint, "He would not have made it in the 80s" is weak sauce.

Pretty sure when you can rain treys at 50% you are a winner in any era

 

[barman]

Should have read, "50% from over 25 feet".....he is only 44% overall

Curry is also playing for a team with at least two, even three other active shooters & scorers nightly. MJ was almost always just one of two active scorers

 

[jay6s]

ill say we you need to wait and see if can keep this up for the rest of his career, how long did jordan do it? This is his second sesaon playing at this level and we are crowning him already. For this reason as of right now i agree with raiders, he needs to be consistent throughout his career

 

[Greenbacks]

Steph is solid no doubt......I need to see more then just 2 great seasons though.
