Kobe's peers never disrespected his game. If anything they were more complimentary of his impact on the game than the media or stat geeks.
Curry has no respect from his peers or past greats as a dominant player. That alone should expose him as a fraud.
After what Kyrie did to him last year in the finals, I honestly don't know how anyone could think he's a great player. The dude is an overrated Patty Mills. Role player status.
I just saw Austin Rivers say Curry is all but unguardable and the best thing to do is to try to attack him physically.
I saw Kobe get exposed by Steve Nash, drop a 3-1 lead, and watch Steve Nash show everyone why he was the rightful MVP. Kobe wasn't good enough to check Steve Nash and stop him from running the offense while dropping skyhigh efficiency. Did Nash expose Kobe or did the Suns outplay the Lakers?
Curry's range, shooting, handle, and off-the-dribble shooting makes Kobe look like Lebron
It's funny...you can use the same arguments that you use to prop Kobe over Lebron to prop Curry over Kobe.
Curry is a much better shooter, better off the dribble, has more range, better at contested shots, and doesn't care about taking easy shots despite being much less athletically gifted. He does more with less. Can't all those apply to your argument for Kobe being better than Bron?
