Stephen Curry a better scorer than Kobe/Jordan?

[NYCDaFuture]

Do you think Stephen Curry is a better scorer than a Prime Kobe/Jordan? Let's hear everyone thoughts.

Sidenote if yall heard the video yall would know that I pick Kobe/Jordan any day over Curry for scoring lmao

The same bump dudes give Iverson for being 6'0" now has to be applied to the 6'3" Curry since he's shooting an absurd 51% and 45% from three.

 

[Gangstar8]

Hes just a better shooter

Kobe got 100 ways to score

Dude does not even have to defend

 

[Lefty Gunz]

No

 

[onelastdeath]

Sadly. Yes. He's as close to impossible To guard as they come. A threat as soon as he steps over the half court line.

make a poll like this on a board full of jordan and kobe stans...and act like you dont know what the outcome will be

Sadly. Yes. He's as close to impossible To guard as they come. A threat as soon as he steps over the half court line.

Then why doesn't he have anywhere close to the number of huge scoring outputs MJ has had? Or even a single scoring title? Keep on mind this nikka has been in the league 7 years now, so miss me with the GS been blowing teams out for half a season of his whole career talk

Relying on half his shot attempts being 3's hasn't enabled Curry to drop 40 and 50 as frequently as MJ did while scoring thousands of ways

People forget that Kobe and Jordan was getting double teamed often. Yes they Double Curry at times but no where near the amount they did for both. Curry is a better shooter than them but not a better scorer.

I doubt bringing 2 defenders all the way out to curry's range woulld work out well for the opposing team

Because he only plays 33.8 minutes a game. This is his scoring output per 36 mins next to Kobe's and MJ's best seasons:

Curry - 31.7 ppg on 20.9 shots per game
MJ - 33.4 ppg on 25 shots per game (his next best season is 31.2 ppg on 21.7 shots per game)
Kobe - 31.1 ppg on 23.9 shots per game (his next best season is 27.9 ppg on 20.1 shots per game)

I don't know about being a better scorer, but he's definitely on the same level as a prime MJ and prime Kobe.

Curry actually receives more defensive attention than both of them - especially off the ball.

There you go with that fact based evidence again.

Steph my favorite player right now, but slap yourself silly if you actually entertaining this question.

Those are nice numbers, but who is to say that more minutes for Steph don't lead to more fatigue and less effective shooting over the course of a season?

Thats why I never cared about those 'what if' type of statistics, only what has actually been done. And what MJ and lesser extent Kobe did over the course of 7 years scoring wise impresses me more. Steph is hot now, let's see how he maintains and gets better
