    This comparison shit is seriously out of hand. We are just now, in Kobe's last year, at the point where we can finally compare Kobe's career to Jordan's. Why bother comparing careers when one is in progress and one is over?

    If you rated Jordan based on his first 6 years in the league is he the GOAT? No. He hadn't even won a championship yet.

    Jordan > Curry overall but Curry is more amazing. We've seen guys Jordan's size dominate like Kobe, Westbrook, and Oscar Robertson if you look at the games history but is Curry even 6'2"? If he stays at this pace then he'll be the greatest shooter in NBA history and its not even close? He's doing things that you and your kids (and their kids) will prob never see again! The kid hits half court shots every other night....its insane? My Pacers were in GS about a month ago and Curry hit a 60 footer about a second after the 1st quarter buzzer went off. Time ran out....ok he decided he'd just do it again and hit another half court'er that beat the buzzer later on. He's insane....like guys that have a career shooting night but he's like that 70% of the time?

    I've always wondered what kind of 3 point ability Pistol Pete would have had if the three point line didnt come in until his last season in basketball. Even Dr J said he was one of the better scorers/basketball players he had ever seen

    Instead of trying to compare Curry to MJ, we can instead just agree that there is a new king in town...

    Magic - Jordan - Kobe - Lebron - Curry (The baton has been passed, whether Lebron likes it or not)

    Let's give it a few more years, and see if Curry wins more rings.

    Jordan, who's won 6 rings, was dominant on all ends of the floor. Curry might be the most exciting player. Like a defensive NFL player, people don't get as excited about defense and basic mechanics. People love watching flashy QBs + WRs, as well as epic 3-point shots.

    Ratings for the Warriors are sky-high, a team that previously didn't win anything for decades. This team is fun, fast-paced, and record breaking.

    Idiotic thread per usual.

    Kids been playing 5 years.

    Jordan played defense.
    Curry picks and chooses when he wants to guard someone. Granted, the Warriors defense has been improving more and more, but he still takes half of the plays off.
    Other than range, Jordan dominates in every category.
    Curry is currently the best player on the planet, but will never be better than Jordan was.

    Also, I expect someone to knock the shit out of Curry very soon. This is where the NBA is just a horrific product.
    They are all pussies and just jerk each other off before/after games.

    You think Jordan woulda watched Curry pop off 12-16 3's without getting the shit knocked out of him a couple times?

    What would Bill Lambeer/Rodman/ Isiah do if they watched Curry do that and then watch Lebron gargle his balls on twitter afterwards?

    The NBA is purely the most horrific sport to watch currently.

    You can bump this post in 2 months when someone on the Spurs levels this kid after he ejaculates all over the court after making a shot.
    Guarantee you Pop has already hand-picked his guy who's going to do it.

    You think Curry doesn't get hit now? He has bruises all over his body. Do you want someone to straight assault him because they can't stop him? Pretty lame.

    bryant has more defensive 1st teams than anyone in history of nba. straight lock down on anyone that crossed his path in his prime. you have no clue what you're saying bro. just cause he didn't hit 30 footers easily? Bryant used to bitch make even the best defenders in nba like bruce bowen and ron artest. made them his bitches.

    curry is not even that small of a guy. he's 6'3 at least and is long as fukk. look at allen iverson. Guy used to dominate the paint and was smallest guy on the court.

    Curry is in his own lane tho. "Undersized", not super athletic, best offensive player ever to the point where his offense makes up for his lack of defense. 66 points off just 3 pointers in 2 games what can you say? nothing, just witness

    Jordan would post up curry all night long and score 60 plus on him plus Jordan is a great defensive guard people forget about his defensive play he would hold curry under 20 points

    Calling Curry the greatest NBA player of all time is like calling Jimmer Fredette the greater college player of all time. Sounds good but it's just not true!

    yeah. he's not undersized at all though imo. 6'3, long as hell, long ass arms. He's actually one of the bigger pgs in the nba bro.

    But yeah, Curry is probably the most skilled player in the history of the nba. just pure skill. doesn't have anywhere near the athleticism as a westbrook, but his dedication to his craft, with his dribbling and shooting, the way he puts english on his layups....it's really amazing what he can do.

    better at what? a better shooter?

    because playing defense as well as offense still counts to some of us who have been watching the nba since the 90s or even farther back

    Cut the jokes. First it was Kobe better than Jordan. Then it was LeBron better than Jordan. Now it's this guy. Soon as he loses a finals all this will fall by the waist side.. And rest assured, gsw will lose a finals.

    Only idiots that never seen Jordan play will say that crap. Curry is the best perimeter shooter ever I'll give him that, but I won't even put him pass Kobe or Lebron. You can't be the best ever if you can't even dunk on people's faces like Kobe, Lebron, or Mike.

    do we need more videos of MJ dunking on Ewing and company? or maybe a mj defensive highlight reel... decent number of his highlight dunks over the years came after a steal or block by MJ himself

    Steph can be the greatest pure 3 pt shooter... but how will he adjust later in his career once his quickness of feet + dribbling ability declines a degree?

    MJ was still shutting down players the likes of Vince Carter, etc on defense in 2003 on the wizards
