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

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

could you imagne kobe not having to play any defense and focus on offense the whole game?

he would drop 50 every other game

He spent most of his prime not playing any defense and still didn't

Thread title is misleading, he's only talking about offense.

Offensive I might agree, Curry literally has to be guarded tightly at all times once he passes half court. His shooting ability allows him to warp defenses in ways that no other player can & he's still shooting an incredible FG%, even if you don't consider the ridiculous shots he takes. He's also a more willing passer than Kobe ever was which makes him even more dangerous.
But if were talking the full package, I'm still going with Kobe. Curry never guards the other teams best perimeter player, let alone locks him up. Kobe could go get you the same amount of points (albeit with poorer shooting %s) while also shutting down the other teams best player. Steph will never be able to do that

Kobe Bryants defense is the most overrated thing in NBA history

Off topic but do you think Klay is better than prime Reggie Miller? I would make a thread but these cats bytch and moan when I make Warriors threads.

Klay is ghost in the playoffs. Which is where it counts

You're not even trolling right

That was a younger Russell whom Kobe defended . I see that you forgot that the Lakers got their ass whopped by the Thunder in 2012 playoffs.

Why don't you also show the 2010 1st round playoff series in which Kobe locked down Russell. By 2012 Kobe was coming off 3 straight NBA chips, his knees were going.....

Red Auerbach never said that

No

Kd is better then prime kobe tho

 

[Draje]

Kobe met the Canadian, who "stole" his MVPs, in the playoffs and proceeded to let his entire team get bodied and carved up by said Cac.

Where was this elite defense when Nash was embarrassing his entire squad?

Take the opposing team's best offensive player out, my ass

Let a 6'3 Cac come back from a 1-3 lead and talk about elite defense, brehs.

 

[MostReal]

Nah I can't do this just yet. Steph gotta add more rings

Kobe Bryants defense is the most overrated thing in NBA history

And still in his prime he's easily very significantly better at it than Curry. Not even comparable really.

put chef on those squads babybeanthegawd went back to back with

imagine how shytty those teams would be

kobe is leaving at the right time and chef is rising at the right time

the era of heroball is fading and the more teamball centered wave is popping

the boy chef is performing amazingly as the crown jewel of the gsw machine

but he isn't a one man team like the gawds of old such as kobe etc.

gsw coaching and teamplay have more to do with their success than chef dropping his shots

don't get blinded by the lights

nikka please. That was in 2010 when Russy was raw and didn't have much experience.
