Breh, Curry is not playing at a higher level than what LeBron did in 09 playoffs (35/9/7) and LeBron in 2012 playoffs (30/10/6). Just no. Dominated both sides of the ball and racked up more assists.


30/9/7 in 2010 MVP season with elite defense > 31/7/5

Gotta agree with this..Bron was 21 avg 30/7/7..no way in hell is Curry seeing him in his prime.

Currently though he's number 1 no question.

31ppg in 34 minutes.
6.6 assists
5.3 reb

50% fg
47%3p
90%ft

33 player efficiency rating
Best player on best team
Team will win 72+ games


I can't remember what Durants stats were from '14 but they were close. Curry's season is better though

32/7/6

But didn't have as good of a team around him. Westbrook was injured.

People in this thread keep saying that Steph woulda been shut down in the 90s and other eras because the defense was better.

But I listed several players who stil balled out no matter what defenses threw at them. My point is that Steph woulda done the same thing :manny:
Oh, gotcha. I never said that though:yeshrug:

I don't think he would be balling like this though. He'd still be great. The rule changes over the years definitely help players like Curry though. It would be interesting seeing what R Miller would be doing in today's game.

Eh, you can't take Curry's assists as a direct reflection on how many points he generates for the team. Not to mention, LeBron played an extra five minutes to put up those base stats. On the same minutes:

LeBron - 27 ppg, 6.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists
Curry - 32 ppg, 5.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists (again this is all without mentioning the points he generates from the secondary assists and defensive attention)

LeBron's best month during that season - 32 ppg, 10 assists and 6.8 rebounds in 41 minutes
Curry's best month during that season - 36 ppg, 7 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 34 minutes

Then you have to take defense into account, where obviously Curry doesn't have as much impact but is far from bad like most make it seem, and is a good defender. At worst they're both playing at the same level, you'd need to dig a bit deeper to actually see what impact/influence they have on the game to get a better reading on who'd come out on top - rather than just going over standard box score #s.

Reggie can't handle or create his own shot at an elite level so he would be the same

That's definitely something that needs to be weighed into the equation. But I mean is a few extra minutes of garbage time against second units really going to affect his percentages by any significant margin? Probably not. I mean we can do the same thing with LeBron, if he only played the same/similar amount of minutes as Curry, would he be able to even put up similar production? Probably not.

Tough to say, which is why posted the raw stats :yeshrug:

Steph is unreal. LeBron was still a better all around player during the 2010 season.

Steph's individual offensive game is the best in a really long time though. :manny:

This game is equivalent to Kobe's 81. This is Jordans 63 vs the Celtics. I was born in 90 so I only got to see MJ in the last few years with the bulls and I witnessed all of Kobe's career. We know LBJ is great but this Curry guy is transcendent like MJ and Kobe. Like you literally sit back and think this is some divine intervention when this guy gets it going. I'm rooting for them boys to lose but when you see Curry play at his max like we did tonight, there's no strategy to stop this man. Just like there was no strategy to stop MJ or Kobe when they were at their max. Its otherworldly.

I recognize LBJ as a great player but he has never done anything to make me say "man, thats just some otherworldly stuff". I've never wondered "How does he do that" with LBJ. Steph is reaching that upper echelon of the legends brehs. All he needs is some more rings.

LBJ is the most overrated great player I've ever seen in my entire life.

How do the rules help Curry? Most star players hate zones and are weakened by them. If anything he'd be better if he was being guarded up 1v1 all of the time. He'd be even better in the 90s

The rules have nothing to do with this, he's hitting shots off the dribble by creating space and separation, how exactly is handchecking supposed to stop him when initially he's not trying to get to the rim? Any type of space between him and his defender and the shot can go up, handchecking was used to reroute someone on a drive.

You simply cannot use the "Handchecking" argument with him, he's a shooter with a skill that transfers across all eras.
