    JJ, We grew up saying this would never even be a conversation in our lifetime. But Iim with you... I think if he brings home a back2back championship this is the narrative as they attempt to 3-peat.

    He is the first guy ever to have "must pick up at 30 feet" on his scouting report. Pulling up at 28 ft with 20 on the shot clock? We would be watching the shot all week on the old 90s SportsCenter. Amazin.

    They win back to back championships and end the season around 70 to 71 wins. Just short of 72-10. Next year they go for a 3-peat and 73-9

    I would think if he wins again then we make a strong case

    I did not realize you cannot stop him either driving

    Most people think he is just a jump shooter

    Even when Leonard was guarding him the other night he still made it look like playground shit. Geared perfect for the playoffs with his ability to hit heavily contested shots.
    Still not sure if he is durable enough to keep it up for a 4-6 year stretch but it will be fun to watch. If u put lebron on the warriors instead of curry would they be as good, better, or worse. Lbj haters I already know ur answer lol

    Underrated passer as well, always delivers the rock to his teamates leading them into a shot or drive

    This is false. If you gonna be a kobe hater at least use correct facts. Kobe shot 48% from 2-pointers in his career. Curry is currently shooting 45.6% from three and has shot it at 44% throughout his career.

    Curry is amazing though easily the best player in the NBA.

    You made his point even more valid that it is even close...I thought it would be even more off the fact that he shoots 44 percent from 3 for his career and Kobe shoots 48 from 2 for his career shows how ridiculous Curry is.

    No he lied like he always does when it comes to kobe im just calling him out i don't know what your problem is.

    Damn curry fans becoming worse and worse each day cant say anything smh.

    Jordan is the GOAT btw until proven otherwise it isn't right to put Curry in that conversation yet.

    Jordan is the GOAT it doesn't matter what his 3 point percentage was.

    How is Curry's defense compared to those guys?

    Well since all ballers come from NC it is no surprise to see Curry here getting praise. Jordan is the GOAT though, this is not the right time to be discussing that in Stephs career in my opinion. A second ring though...

    What a stupid thing to say. Kobe was as big a jump shooter as you will ever see. His trademark was the mid range fade-away.

    Jordan was a great 2way player but IMO he is the greatest for how he controlled the game and tempo. Iverson, Kobe and Curry, those guys are like oozies always firing. Jordan was a surgeon pickin guys apart. Jordan had shorter 3 point line for a couple years. That game against Portland where he hit a shitload, 6? 7? his threes looked like free throws. His jumper was kinda flat actually. Shots would often his the back of the rim and make a thud sound. He was no splash bro. But at least he knew his range unlike Kobe. Defenders beg him to shoot 3s.

    Oh, my bad. I was looking at Kobe's career FG % which is 44.9%, and Curry shooting 11 3-pointers a game at 45.6% this year.

    Kobe career:
    3-pointers: 33%
    16-23ft: 40.3%

    I'm not taking anything away from Curry. The guy is a beast but we can't look at any of these play styles the same once they took away the hand check. Can't compare eras.

    Agreed, very tough to compare this game to back then.

    I think why he was so tough in the playoffs, he was king of the slower pace too

    Unreal post up player too

    golden state is more stacked team. at least 9 guys are 1st round draft picks and probably 6 top 10!
