Russy is one of my favorite players in the league, but no one is in Steph's universe right now.
Russell Westbrook might not be human

How isn't anyone in Curry's universe? When across the board Russ is right there and outperforming him in some categories?
Don't get me wrong Steph is a beast,but he is not far and away the best player in the league like y'all trying to make it he still is in the mix with a few cats for the crown
Steph Curry Is Unreal
The Curry count this season: 148 points in 127 minutes on 84 shots
• Curry’s Win Shares per 48 minutes is .648, by Basketball-Reference’s count, which is absurd. That’s higher than the entire starting lineups of the Knicks, Lakers, and Sixers—combined. No other player in the NBA has more than .390.
• 51.2 percent of Curry’s shots have been threes—that’s 43 of 81 total shots—and yet his average shot distance, according to NBAminer.com, is just 17.00 feet, much closer than dedicated gunners. That’s because more than a quarter of Curry’s shots (27.4 percent) are coming at the rim.
Last year, Curry took 26.2 percent of his shots at the rim and shot 63.2 percent. Now he’s taking more, and they’re more accurate.
• Curry driving has been so potent that Synergy Sports has his “derived offense” number for isolations (being his own offense and that he creates with assists) at 1.42 points per possession—highest in the NBA.
• Going into last night, he also led PPP in personal iso offense on Synergy, but was overtaken by Jahlil Okafor (he still leads transition and pick-and-roll ballhandling).
Steph has always been a good ball-handler, but iso has never been his strongest suit. But this year, the handle looks a little tighter, the step-backs a little more crisp, and there’s a sense that this thing might be happening. Elevating to rarified air in the one spot he seemed human would be unfair.
Stephen Curry could go 0-for-88 from downtown in his next game and still have a higher 3FG% than James Harden.
The top of the all-time, unfiltered PER leaderboard is littered with hit-and-runs. DeAndre Liggins just two years ago put up the greatest* NBA season by playing less than one minute, hitting a shot, and snatching a rebound. Among all players recorded at the time of this writing, no player with over 50 PER has played more than 7 minutes while recording it, except Steph (50.4), who’s played 127.
(Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook have put up 35.3 and 34.3 PER so far this season, and somehow feel a galaxy removed from what Steph’s been doing.)
The efficiency with which he is scoring, the stretches for which he carries his team offensively, and the absurdity that Blake and Russy are having monster starts to the season and are still 15 points lower than Steph in PER speaks volumes about how clear cut Steph's dominance is so far. There's plenty of time for that to change, but right now Steph more than anyone in the league looks like he's controlling games.

RIP MR. SMOKE
I'm confused why this thread is about Stephen curry, they don't even do the same things.
It became about Steph Curry as soon as several people asserted he was playing better than Steph. I love Russy, but to say that is poretty much to admit either bias or insanity.
still couldn't lead okc to the playoffs
Worse then a republican leaving the context out.
What context? Getting lapped up over the last couple weeks of the season by a squad featuring a younger, less experienced player with less talent around him?
