I love Steph but he has had 1 and a half dominant seasons. Comparing him to Jordan and Kobe is stupid. Also defense energy usually takes away from offense, and well I shouldn't have to get into this.
Right now curry is averaging 29.8 PPG a game. That would be MJ's 9th best scoring avg in a season
pump the brakes please.

There's some truth to that, however i) I'm not saying he has a body work of comparable to Jordan i) I'm not saying this current version of Curry is a better scorer than Jordan.
All my argument is, this season (and this season only), Curry is scoring on the same level that both MJ and Kobe were at their peaks. If we're talking about a body of work/all-time context - there's plenty of players that Curry shouldn't be compared to just yet. I'm simply talking about the level he's playing at RIGHT NOW.
Now you're just being stupid for the sake of.
And both Kobe and MJ had the 3-pt line at their disposal during their entire careers, so why are you using it against Curry?

The only feasible way for Curry to get more minutes and for this argument to end is if Golden State stops blowing teams out by the end of the 3rd quarter.
Now I wonder who's mainly to blame for that.
Cats don't realize Curry needs to stop scoring so many points and getting so many assists during the time he's on the court so we can see what he can do with more minutes. That's basically the argument and it's ridiculous.
You can actually flip this argument and say, if Jordan were on Curry's level, why wasn't he putting away teams by the 3rd quarter? You could imagine the shyt storm.
The easy way to come out winning here with all the theoreticals is just to acknowledge Kobe/Jordan/Curry/Wilt all on the same level of dominance honestly.

Curry averages 29.8 this season. Jordan scored 37.1 in his peak scoring season.
Curry's averages would be jordan's 9th best season
yes, pace plays a factor, tempo, minutes etc.. etc.. I got you and i understand. You can say if steph played 40 minutes he might avg X,Y,Z. I can say if jordan played in today's NBA he can avg X,Y,Z.
It's an exercise in futility.
Now you're just being stupid for the sake of.
If bringing up FACTS is being stupid then your right.
Exactly. His points per shot and ability to warp defensive schemes (opening up the floor for his team) is the main cause to them building leads that a a near-improbable for teams to come from behind. It's a case of him being too fast for his own good. He's by FAR the main reason that this Warriors team is having the greatest offensive season of any team in NBA history, and he's doing it by only playing 34 minutes a game.
Not really cuz Hack-a-Shaq birthed hack-a-all these other cats. That tactic cut his point production just like its effecting these other ft-lackin dudes ,Curry isn't a better scorer than Jordan... but Curry will warp a defense in ways that no one ever has in the league.
Better question is who is 'more impossible' to deal with from a team defense perspective, Curry or Shaq
curry is a 90% ft shooter......and It's harder to guard a breh that's droppin 28ft 3pointers at will and who's got the handles to break your shyt is you guard him too close
You're of the opinion that Kerr is a better 3-pt shooter than Curry - I don't expect you to see sense when you work on that type of reasoning and lack of contextual logic.
Defense was a LITTLE more physical during Jordan's era
imagine Curry trying to get his shot off against the Bad boy pistons and 90's knicks
Reggie Miller averaged 30 against the Knicks in the '93 1st round. Best defense in the league at the time.

Stop complicating shyt to fit the dumb narratives you have in your heads
Steph scores more efficiently than both of them. There's no arguing this. He gets the same amount of points on less shots. He's better. It doesn't matter how he gets them. If that mattered Shaq couldn't be considered a good scorer despite being arguably the most dominant offensive force ever for stretches in his career.
No need to go further than points/attempts
