    Nope. Bottom line is

    I hate when people say "Lebron needs superstars around him to win championships! MJ did it on his own!"

    Its funny to me cuz when i looked at the older teams in NBA 2K16, the 95-96 Bulls team was 99 overall. The other Bulls teams were all over 92 overall. Lebrons teams are no higher than 85 overall. How is it that only Lebron needs superstars around him? People act like MJ didnt have Rodman, Pipper, Kukoc, Kerr, etc... MJs teams were MUCH better than Lebrons teams, yet everyone hates on Lebron and says that he cant win titles by himself like MJ did.. Now obviously MJ was better at bringing his team to victories in the finals games, but basically every time Lebron has made the Finals, his team has been the worse team. MJs teams were always the best team coming in by FAR.

    Lebron played with many NBA Legends and ruined their careers. Larry Hughes, Wally Szczerbiak, Shaq, Antawn Jamison, Joe Smith, Bosh, Wade, Juwan Howard, Ben Wallace, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Donyell Marshall, Mo Williams, Danny Green, Ricky Davis, and Carlos Boozer. Jordan did not play with half of the legends that Lebron did.

    Nobody on that list is a legend, except for Shaq and Ben

    Curry = Pete Maravich
    Either could hit a shot from anywhere
    Jordan???? C'mon man!
    There's a lot more to the game than shooting the long ball
    Jordan, Bird, Magic, Wilt and a handful of others better than Curry but that's lifetime. Give it a few years and we'll see.
    Curry doesn't even break the Top 10 if you're considering all-around game and all-time.
    Shooting he's a top 3 IF he keeps it up for for a couple more years

    Maravich would shoot it from downtown way before there was a 3 point line! I agree with the comparison, both deadly shooters.

    Best shooter..maybe. Reggie Miller would run you around the court more than Steph, pure shooter as well. Best player ever, nah.

    He would get abused in the 90's with different rules.

    When MJ was on his OWN...he got the shit beat out of him... losing so bad in the playoffs every year.

    Curry is great but Jordan is legendary. That's just how it is and that's how it's always going to be there two different players into different games. I think all the comparisons should just stop and be put to rest. MJ was the best at what he did and now Curry is the best at what he does.

    The guy is basically Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf with a little bit more athleticism. Stop with this rubbish he's the best ever. Let's see how good Curry is if he were playing for the 76'ers. Only reason he gets so many good looks is because he's surrounded by players who are just as good or even better than Stephan

    Lebron> Curry AINEC!!!

    The ONLY thing curry does better than Jordan is shoot the three. Everything else Jordan did better.

    The new $201MM supermax contract that the Warriors gave to Stephen Curry doesn’t include a no-trade clause or a player option, according to Anthony Slater of The San Jose Mercury News.

    Curry better handles

    I also never saw MJ throw his mouthpiece and actually hit someone in the front row

    Curry isn't even be close to the best player ever.

    by the time he retires, will he be top 10? top 25?

    I'd vote no way on top 10 and maybe top 25(doubtful)
