Curry is better than Thomas ever was, and Kidd doesn't even belong in this conversation.

Imagine Steph curry outplaying Jordan at his absolute peak in playoff games

When did this happen?

Zeke never outplayed Jordan in a series. The Pistons just beat them because they had a better team, and it didn't help when Scottie got hit an elbow to the temple by Lambieer in '89

Did you just selectively employ a list that ranks Larry Nance ahead of all kinds of MVPs and perennial MVP candidates as proof of...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Too early to rank Steph. A lot of career left for better and possibly worse. It's clear we have seen his peak, and doubtful he approaches that level again.

Why is Curry so much better than Thomas besides the 3pt shooting?

You act like Curry didnt have a great team too and honestly its not like he Pistons were loaded with HOFs. Dumars was the 2nd best player but he was never great. Dantley maybe?
Ive yet to see Curry give a performance like Zeke in the 3rd quarter in Game 6 of 88 Finals....he took the L but that was an all time performance. While Curry choked last year....3-1

Steph can't outplay Kyrie Irving in one game much less anyone approaching MJ

curry can shoot but he ain't got enough heart or scrap to be in the same breath as these other cats. :manny:

He's all about heart and scrap actually.

Klay Thompson has the mentality people think Curry does.

this doesn't make sense, he's outplayed Kyrie Irving in multiple games.

Who's approaching MJ here? Zeke was NEVER close to Jordan, and it's reaching to say that he beat Jordan/Bird/Magic when that was a full team effort.
