GT: Golden State Warriors @ Orlando Magic

[LEEeveryday]

Honestly, THIS is the level of play needed to surpass MJ.

Now, it's simply about longevity.

edit....oh...and defense. MJ played both sides of the ball at the highest level at his position, so there is that...

But again...I don't even care about all that....This is amazing to watch. We're gonna be including stories about Steph when talking to our grand-kids...

 

[#1 pick]

I don't give a fukk about what anybody else says. Curry's scoring ability is on the SAME level as prime MJ and Kobe.

Better. The NBA ain't a one on one league. Curry scores so effortlessly and can create for others at ain't elite rate. It makes his team so dangerous

MJ defense is constantly overrated. His team defense was elite but his man defense was never constant and he always took on. The weaker player in the 90s. He was amazing for his like Curry is for his

i cant front, Curry is headed to Top 5 player of all time status..... he's gonna be in the elite MJ/Kobe/Hakeem/Shaq/Magic status

Outside of Mj and Magic, those other guys ain't top 5

The fact that he was known for his defense in an defensive era, and acknowledged by other great defenders in a defensive era is enough for me.

It seems like it's a fact that is going to keep Curry from truly surpassing MJ even if he continues to play at THIS level.

Now the scoring ability debate...that shyt is on notice....That boy Curry is cold..

Uh u know mj was a defensive player of the year right? His defense was underrated. I know 90s mj is always remembered but he was straight unbelievable in the 80s.

Disagree on body control and feel for the game. Skills too. Other than the shot mj had it all. Take u off left/right, greatest finisher, turnaround fadeaway j minus well be a Kareem sky hook. Mj was incredibly strong, big hands. It's no wonder Kobe tried to copy him. Agility curry? Nah it's mj.

Bbiq? Nah. Mj greatest trait was his mental game. Nobody wanted to win more than him to the point of punching his teammates or greasing up Barkley before dropping 50 on him.

Arent you the man who respects facts and logic?

Jordan has 10 scoring titles steph right now has 0

Right now you're insulting jordan



I know u on cloud 9 so keep talking youe shyt again

fukk a scoring title(s). The point is, the scoring ability he's shown this season is on the same level as peak Jordan. I'm not saying he's a better scorer, because that's where longevity comes into play, just speaking on the level he's performing at this season. Then I mean if we get into weighing up offensive impact, well we're going to have to revisit that at the end of the season. Because if he keeps this pace up, well you know what I'm going to say.....

The scoring ability currys shown is great but you're treading into hallowed ground bringing up a guy who's won 10 scoring titles and career postseason scoring records too. Curry is dropping 3s like crazy but again mj had it all.



He could do anything.

Can y'all stop bringing up scoring titles? I'm talking about Jordan's peak as a scorer. Curry can score from anywhere too. He's ultra efficient from pretty much every spot within the entire halfcourt (#1 in FG% at the rim for guards and #1 in FG% from the 3-pt to the halfcourt).

Curry is the better shooter, MJ is the better scorer. It's not that difficult.
