Steph Curry says he's a better offensive player than LeBron

[Recca Gatsby]

So far this season, Curry's offensive production is nearly 25 points per 100 possessions better than average. His efg is .650. That ranks 22nd all-time (yes, ALL-time) and the players ranking ahead of him are all low-usage types (at least in the season where they shot so well). Most of them are bigs.

Curry's TS% is .700, which ranks 4th all-time. Ahead of him (minimum 500 total minutes): Chris Wilcox (just 830 minutes that season), Tyson Chandler and Artis Gilmore.

Curry is shooting 60% from 2pt range. He's at .943 from the FT line.

He's shooting .459 from 3pt range, on 15.5 attempts per 100 team possessions. League average this season: 4.9 attempts per 100 team possessions.

He gets to the FT line about twice as often as average.

Despite being just 6-3, he's only 2 rebounds per 100 possessions below the league average for ANY position -- he gets 7.1 per 100 possessions; average is 9.1.

Even with the shooting, his assist rate per 100 team possessions is about double the league average. He gets twice as many steals as average. And he fouls less too.

So far this season, Curry is scoring 44.7 points per 100 team possessions. That would be the third best scoring season since 1977-78 behind Jordan (46.4 pts per 100 in 86-87) and Kobe (45.5 in 05-06). But, Jordan's usage rate that season: 37.0%. Kobe's was 36.4%. Curry's this year: 31.3%.

For comparison, in 90-91 Jordan had a usage rate of 31.9% and scored 2.0 points per 100 possessions fewer than what Curry has done so far.

IF Curry can keep this up, it's an all-time great season.

I am not one for stats but this is a fantastic post, props breh

So......after a year and some change, how do we feel about this

 

[MalikReloaded]

Curry can do things Kobe could not and that's my favorite player we're talking about. Curry's hitting pull-up threes from 30 feet on a regular basis at a high percentage. What he's doing doesn't even make sense.

Kobe had a more complete offensive game. Post. Mid range. Three. Slashing. Various ways of killing you. When Kobe got hot, he was the best basketball player next to Jordan. Now Curry's offensive game isn't as complete IMHO. He's just a jump shooter but, he's so deadly at it, that nobody can stop him. He doesn't have to worry about having all of Kobe's moves when he can pull up in your face 30 feet from the basket and hit it 60% of the time.

curry putting up 40 points on damn near 60% shooting

bron stans cant deal with their hero being limited to bulldozing his way to the rim to score

nikkas couldn't understand when we tried to tell them Bron's bulldozing could never top Kobe's shooting

when you a lights out shooter you can easily go off for 50, 60 points like its nothing. try bulldozing your way to 55 points every night for four games in a row

Curry could smash Kobe's scoring records if GS gave him the go ahead to shoot more

Same nikkas talmbout Bron's bulldozing are da same clowns up in err fukkin retro thread screamin him to soft and wouldn't survive da physicality of da 80s & 90s. Phaggits, stick to one fukkin story.

Curry is cookin and obviously has next. Bron's gettin olda. Next bullet lining up in da chamber was/is inevitable. Dat's how shyt works.

@Blackthoughts is not gonna let ya'll live until you relent and give the Warriors their due.

I'm not even mad. If the Knicks ever win a chip in my lifetime, the people who live in those South American countries in huts still untouched by the outside world are gonna hear about that shyt from me.
