Robert Horry: Steph Curry right now is better than prime Kobe Bryant

[KOBE]

he was andre iguodala status (minus the Finals MVP) for 3 of those rings

Iggy in his career never once averaged 20 PPG in a season, let alone in a playoffs next to a dominant big men.

You're not even worth arguing with though, so I won't bother.

What do you consider his prime? Personally for me 8 > 24.

I guarantee you Steph, right now with the way he's playing can win titles back to back with that lakers squad from 08-10.

We're going to pretend like Curry was going to go cook those Celtics squads too now, right?

His prime was 05-2010.

Curry's a better shooter than Kobe. Sure. A better scorer? Hell no. A more skilled scorer? Hell no. I guess we forgot about Dellavedova shutting down Curry for the first few games last Finals, which is why Igoudala won MVP. As if Kobe would ever let some journeyman white boy take him out his game. Or that fact that Kobe was a full blown offensive juggernaut since 21/22 and Steph didn't make the leap until 26. When Curry is outscoring teams by himself, let us know.

Offensive side possibly.

Overall?

fukk no

No we're not pretending we are saying for sure. Steph with his current dominance added with Phil Jackson's coaching, they would beat that Celtics team and definitely beat that magics team.

Pistons/Celtics were two of the best defensive teams we've since in the last 25 years.

 

[Kings County]

Apart from the Jordan years and LeBron in 09, Steph is having the greatest individual season I've ever seen. I agree with Horry.

Averaging 30 PPG in only 34 minutes on 51/46/91 is absurd. We won't see anything like this for a long time.

what statline is that

I'm not gonna respond to you if you're gonna make troll comments and not even stay on point or even try to make a relevant rebuttal.

Matthew Dellavedova is a bum.

So why are you bringing up players from the Detroit Pistons & the Boston Celtics? Two of the most fiercest defenses in NBA history.

Kobe would never get locked down by no fukking Matthew Dellavedova.

You keep playing dumb and I'm not gonna reply.

 

[Reid2Achieve]

Good argument, can go either way. FWIW, Horry never seemed to be a Kobe fan...

At this rate, Steph's '15-16 season will go down as one of the - if not THE - greatest seasons of all time so it's hot to say things like this now. If Steph keeps up this killer mentality to be aggressive scoring in the seasons to come (and he keeps racking up accolades and rings), then it would hard to argue against his effiency and results.

That was nervousness of being in the finals. After all that bullshyt of people saying Dellavedova locked him down the next game he cooked that dude

 

[MoneyTron]

Prime Kobe averages 43ppg over the course of a month and scored 50+ in 4 straight games including two 60+ point games and we're still arguing. Y'all make me sick.

No one is saying Steph ain't having an all-time season. He is. But better scorer? Nah.

 

[NasirJr]

Steph is averaging 30 for the season while not even really playing 4th quarters

 

[Gyasi85]

Too early for this conversation...but I'm a say this much...Kobe was a volume scorer...and between 04-and 07 the nikka was the most green lit 2 guard in league history... Jelly Bean said it himself...when he get that rock...he dun see nuthin but the rim........the yellow nikka Curry is not only doing what Kobe did and more...but he doing it within a system...he doing it off the ball...and he sitting in the 4th..passin the dutchie pun de left hand side from his teammates on the sideline.. Nah....Kobe a lot of things...but he ain't never boss hog like this....

 

[Goatpoacher]

Kobe was not in his prime as a 22 year old.

Pistons/Celtics were two of the best defensive teams we've since in the last 25 years.

So curry gets "shut down" .. he sucks

Kobe gets shut down ... the opponent was good

.... What else do I need to say?

Facts are he held Curry down for 3 games. His poor play is why Igoudala got the Finals MVP. That's a fact. Kobe would never let some white boy and a little rough contact keep him out of his game for 3 finals games. Another fact. Let's see how Curry does this year first
