[blankoblanco]

Have some respect and spell the GOAT's name correctly, slayer

[jjgold]

Jordan

Curry needs at least one more and dominate again

They we start talk

[zabelm]

Jordan no question. Curry may catch him as one of the top NBA players of all time. Right now I have to give it to Jordan.

[Ra77er]

North Carolina knows how to raise some legendary basketball players we can all agree on that.

more fanboy troll thread. you dilutional if you even think about these comparison.
mj won like 6 straight and 6 finals mvp has 10 straight scoring champ. i used hate him because he couldn't stop losing.
well the lighter you are, the lesser you need to achieve.
white people love curry because he closest to white.
these fake globalization era is out of hand.

The level of play today is way better than the 90's; Jordan wouldn't dominate and probably wouldn't be an all star.

Jordan also got to beat up on those expansion teams for a while. It's pretty insane to think the '16 warriors won so much with teams like Spurs, Clips, Thunder as conference competition. That being said, Curry isn't even Kareem let alone Jordan.

GOAT

Steph is an admirable NBA All-Star but please keep such blasphemous
thoughts to yourself.

Possibly the greatest shooter we'll ever see, still not in MJ class.
Yes

[hawkwind]

stef would crumble to the court, curl up & CRY MJ would EAT him 4 lunch

[pavyracer]

If the played one on one Jordan will beat him by 100 points.

[goduke]

MJ didn’t blow a 3-1 finals lead and he three peated twice.

Steph would smoke Jordan; the game is played at a much higher level now, especially compared to Jordan's early years when the league was almost entirely American players. I believe Jordan took three years to win a single playoff game because he had no help; he won plenty of titles because of Pippen, Grant, Rodman, etc. I still remember media clowns back in the late 80's crowing about how Jordan can't touch Bird and Magic because they've won, he hasn't, etc. even though those two were surrounded by talent and Jordan was carrying the Bulls by himself.

[Ra77er]

Okay how can I be a provocateur to continue this never ending loop of drivel.

hmm.

Jordan didn't play the game in 8K HD so he is probably overrated. Much lower quality compared to Steph today. Plus Jordan had all those shoes manufactured by underpaid, overworked, homeless people. Stephs shoes are carbon neutral and do not emit greenhouse gasses.

[shadymcgrady]

Jordan would probably beat curry right now, today

[stevenash]

Yes

Okay being serious Jordan was a better player. I don't really think it necessary to "always" rank people though. Steph has been awesome for his era.

Steph changed the game of *his era, *this* generation.
MJ played in a different era.

But if you round up the the two or three greats from all generations, MJ still comes out on top.

Like I said though, once upon a time you can ride a ball handler with hand checks, today, insta-foul.
After '95, the hand check was called virtually every time.
Different time, different rules.

[jrgum3]

Steph is a great player and probably deserves to be considered in the top 10 all time. He'll be a Hall of Famer but nobody is better than Jordan. Jordan did more than just score he was a first team all defensive player 9 times. While Steph had his best defensive rating of his career this season he is mainly recoginized for his offensive prowess.

[asiagambler]

Jordan: 6 Finals, 6 Championships, 6 Finals MVPs
Curry: 6 Finals, 4 Championships, 1 Finals MVP

Terrible thread

[Ra77er]

Those are both solid points. I felt the game was played at a much tighter level or let's say more aggressive during mj's time. Like a trip to the madison square garden was going to be murderous for the opposition. I remember regular season games regularly going to triple ot's and shit. Hell the entire league was really good during that time. Utah with Stock and Malone, eh you guys know. The issue with that style of NBA though was that it caused actual violence to occur. Fans, players, whatever were much more excitable. Today the game is much softer but you cannot blame the players for adapting to that system.

As an aside, I like Charles Barkley a lot but him putting Isiah below Steph seems like a stretch because of my comments above. That's no disrespect to the generation today but having seen both Isiah earned his way to that spot.
