I love curry but. lets see him break a kobe record first

[kennethgriffin]

- 12 threes in a game ( how has he not broken this yet anyway )

- 81 point game ( might never be done again period )

- 4 straight 50 point games ( doubt it )

- 62 after three quarters ( nope )

- 55 in 2 quarters ( nope.. thats still above currys career high )

- 9 straight 40 point games ( hmmm... i could see it if the warriors lose some players and they dont blow out everyone )

- 40+ppg for an entire month ( kobe did it 4 times. i dont see curry ever accomplishing it )

- 35+ppg for a season ( its possible if curry expands his game )

- 2800 points in a season ( probly not gonna happen )

oh yeah.. and

- outscore a team by himself

Why would Curry care about catching a guy who isn't even in the top 10? :biggums: He's coming for MJ.

[stalkerforlife]

OP, the Kobe/Curry family disapproves of your comparing the two players. Both are of the same mold and Kobe passed the torch to Curry.

Discontinue and thank you in advance.

[Mass Debator]

If Curry aimed at the field goal attempts record of 49...that's 12.25 shots per quarter...make 6/12 threes and you're at 18/quarter...that's 72 points all game. Damn, don't see how Curry can get to 81 and I'm being very generous too with 24 total made threes.

youre right. kobe isnt top 10

all time Guard scoring champion
most 1st team all NBA awards
most 1st team all Defensive awards
5 titles
7 finals
2 finals mvps
1 season mvp
4 allstar mvps
25/5/5 career average
who beat more 50+ win playoff teams than anyone
who won more titles than anyone without a legendary sidekick

is not a top 10 player


i agree


lebron is though right :lol

You don't even know anything about Kobe. I have never seen you actually give an opinion on his actual play...you just post numbers and accolades. Frankly, I don't think you know anything about basketball, period.

[inclinerator]

wow kobe is so buff

[FireDavidKahn]

Let's see Kobe break a Curry record.

Highest PER ever
Most 3 pointers ever in a season
70% ts% (not a record but better than any Michael Jordan season!)

[WayOfWade]

When did Kobe outscore a team by himself? And don't give me that 3 quarters crap, there are 4 quarters in a game not 3. And why do they have to be Kobe records? Is it so you specifically can root for him or to say that he's better than Kobe?

[HurricaneKid]

The only Kobe record I am aware of is the most career missed shots.

[Springsteen]

[ArbitraryWater]

Curry doesn't need to expand shit for 35 ppg, he could have that record easily if he were to take the amount of shots, but he doesnt, because he's too good, that his amount is enough already... or if he played in 2006.

12 3's will be broken, matter of time.

the rest (like the above) is useless crap, Curry right now is better than Kobe ever was, by a decent (noticeable) margin.

[plowking]

Let's see Kobe break a Curry record.

The funny bit that cracked me up most was that 90% of the "records" OP listed, aren't even records. :oldlol:

Simply Kobe's personal bests. The only record up there is the 12 threes in a game. :oldlol:

[LoneyROY7]

Kenny I want you to wrap your head around this next stat.

In Kobe's best scoring year of '05-'06: he took 27.2 shots a game and had 10.2 FTA a game. Curry is currently averaging 20.2 FGA a game and 6.2 FTA a game.

Curry is taking 7 less shots and getting 4 less free throws. Think about that for a second. It's about volume, bud.

[guy]

81 isn't a record.

Kobe has never outscored a team. The game is 4 quarters not 3.

Are you basically saying that Curry has to be as good as Kobe to be great? So that means Kobe is the minimum level of greatness I.e he's the bottom tier of greats?

You really don't want to compare Curry to MJ, son.

[Keno]

this thread is basically "what if curry chucked 40 shots a game", that's not who he is so it won't happen. if he was tho, he would break all these mediocre records with ease.

[T_L_P]

Curry's playing better basketball than Kobe ever has right now. Single game scoring outbursts spread over a decade doesn't change that.

Curry's shooting better from 3 than Kobe ever has from the field. Let that sink in.

[ShawkFactory]

Only one of those things is a record..

[dubeta]

i love OP but Kobe isn't top 15 all-time

So who cares...

[Straight_Ballin]

Why would Curry care about catching a guy who isn't even in the top 10? :biggums: He's coming for MJ.

Because he needs to pass Kobe to even get to MJ. Do you know how this shit works brah?

Actually if he was convicted he'd have faced about what mike tyson got. So 2-3 years


So kobe misses 05,06,07

Lakers would probably have retooled and dominated for even longer from 08 onward had that happened

Plus kobes legs would have held up way longer

Currys a better shooter than kobe. Ive stated that before in ish multiple times


But curry isnt the better streak scorer or overall player. Prime kobe gives you every type of shot on the court. Inside and out. Currys better at one aspect of the game.

Currys also better at that one aspect than every other guy that ever played period. So i dont see the big deal


Curry is the greatest shooter this league has ever seen. Period


Like i said. I love the guy and i hope he does good. But he aint no kobe.... sonce even if you took away every single point kobe ever scored. He'd still make the hall of fame just based on his all time record 9 first team all defensive awards and leading 5 world title teams in assists as the main ball handler

This is factually incorrect. Curry is a better ball handler and passer than Kobe is as well. He's also one of the best finishers at the rim as well as being a very good defender, holding his defensive assignments to abysmal shooting %'s. His assist numbers are also down more than they should because of the offense the Warriors run. He's much better than the stats say, that's for sure.

Kobe on the other hand, played in the triangle and that's why his assists are so high. He's not actually a better passer or ball handler than Curry. He's also a much less efficient shooter and much easier to contain. He's not nearly as good defensively as his media awards would have you believe. Another knowledgeable basketball fan posted on here about Hakeem having 2 DPOY's, but Duncan being the better defender. Same thing here.

Overall Curry is a much more valuable player to his team and franchise than Kobe Bean Bryant ever could dream of. And I'm saying all of this as the biggest Mamba fan growing up among my brethren. Curry just draws so much more defensive attention and from half court than Kobe ever could and makes the game so much easier for his teammates. He also is a GOAT tier off-ball player which allows his teammates to become facilitators and play-makers, something Kobe wasn't capable of doing. His efficiency (being the greatest shooter ever) along with his godly off-ball play and ability to shoot off the dribble, off-balance, in traffic as well as his ability to take it to the rack and be a top finisher in the NBA make it impossible for defenses to lock in on him and give his team the best opportunity to win ball games unlike we have ever seen before besides peak Shaq possibly, but even then it's debatable.

There's just no comparison between him and Kobe at his best unless you consider Kobe comparable to 3peat Shaq.

:confusedshrug:

[raprap]

He's gunning for MJ. He's already surpassed Kobe :confusedshrug:

[Spurs5Rings2014]

- 12 threes in a game ( how has he not broken this yet anyway )

Wow, what a jinx.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I guess Curry will have to break Klay's record if he wants to be GOAT, guys.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[qrich]

Curry is shitting on the league without a dominant post presence to open up looks for him.

[DrakeTheSnake]

So many of those aren't even records. They are just made up "records." Curry already has made up records of his own that Kobe never beat.

[IllegalD]

Curry's playing better basketball than Kobe ever has right now. Single game scoring outbursts spread over a decade doesn't change that.

Curry's shooting better from 3 than Kobe ever has from the field. Let that sink in.

But not better basketball than Duncan't ever has, right...? :rolleyes:

Insecureass Duncan Stanleys. :lol

Wake me up when Curry does his scoring while being an elite/lockdown defender on the other end of the floor. :no:

Also when he does it in the playoffs/finals against some of the GOAT defensive teams like the 2000s-era Spurs and Thibs' Big 3 Celtics.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Curry is shitting on the league without a dominant post presence to open up looks for him.

In truth, Curry is more comparable to Shaq than he is to Kobe. Both unstoppable players that warrant triple teams and make the game easier for everyone around them. Only difference is Curry is also a 90% 3-point shooter, so you can't even send him to the line to avoid his onslaught.

WRONG.

Kobe carried a scrub Lakers team to the playoffs in both 2006 (81 point game, 62 in 3 quarters) and 2007 (50+ point streak).

If you put Curry on those Lakers team he probably doesn't even make the playoffs (gotta be able to score AND play elite defense on those Laker teams for them to make the playoffs)

[kennethgriffin]

Curry is a point guard that averages 6 assists

Kobe was a shooting guard that averaged 5 assists



I think for their positions kobe is much more of a team player to be quite honest

[Dragonyeuw]

Lets see if Kobe's career shooting percentage winds up being lower than Curry's career 3 point percentage to date:

Kobe career FG .449
Curry career 3FG .443

[tragicbronson]

wtf people are comparing curry to kobe based on 20 games, ish in a nutshell, while kobe was scoring 35 and carrying scrubs to playoffs he was also 1st nba all defensive team, let that sink in, in the meantime dubs are hiding steph on defensive side.

look at the list. tell me one bad player on that list.

the record would easily be Jordans if he entered the league after high school and didn't take three years off. MJ would have like 15k missed shots if he played as many years as Kobe. If LeBron plays till he's 38 that record will be his.

[Velocirap31]

Donyell Marshall is tied with Kobe for the 12 3's don't forget. He doesn't hold that record alone.

Kareem played 20 years and took more shots,so did Karl Malone. Why doesn't one of them have the record? Kobe is the only player in the top 5 scorers who didn't shoot close to 50% over his career. And just this season alone, how many more missed shots is he going to add to his record at his current rate and %?

Lebron has missed approx 9300 shots in 13 years, he'd need to miss another 5,000 in 7 more seasons( taking him to 38 years) in order to match Kobe's current level. He's well off that pace, and I think we can reasonable say that Lebron's not going to be out there chucking at 36/37 if he's still around.

[Dragonyeuw]

Donyell Marshall is tied with Kobe for the 12 3's don't forget. He doesn't hold that record alone.

missing more shots is part of taking thousands upon thousands of three pointers

which both records pretty much go hand in hand due to the addition of three point shots when the only 2 leading scorers ahead are post players


never understood why this is a bad thing


if you shoot the most. score the most out of anyone who shoots. you'l probly have the most misses

kobe shot threes and karl/kareem didnt


missing more shots is part of taking thousands upon thousands of three pointers


k

Thank you for proving my point about shot selection. So let's compare his numbers to some random perimeter greats, across eras:

MJ 30.1 on .497
Lebron 27.3 on .496
Bird 24.3 on .496
Nique 24.8 on .461
D.Wade 24.0 on .490
Durant 27.3 on .482

Kobe's field goal percentage is a product of the types of shots that's well within his control. Since he has GOAT level midrange game and 'footwork' as you stans like to brag, and an all-time level IQ, he should have been able to create higher percentage shots for himself. Right?

[tontoz]

kobe shot threes and karl/kareem didnt

Especially when you are a crap shooter, 33.1% for his career. Maybe he shouldn't have been taking so many.

It's worth noting that in his entire career Kobe has only been able to hit 50% of his two point shots in a season...once. It's easy for Kenneth to bring up 3pt shooting hurting his fg%, but he wasn't that efficient on his 2pters either when compared to guys like Jordan and Wade.

Especially when you are a crap shooter, 33.1% for his career. Maybe he shouldn't have been taking so many.

He is taking over 7 per game now shooting 22%. :facepalm


A) if anyone took the type of contested 3's kobe took his entire career... their percentage would be in the low 20's

B) you do realize that 33% threes is the equivalent of shooting 50% on 2's right?

Lebron proved that shying away trying to protect your fg% only brings disappointment. If kobe didnt play like it was playstation maybe he doesnt have a top 5-7 all time career

Kenneth is gunning ****** down left and right with these comebacks :applause: :applause:

[knicksman]

curry is gunning for GOAT so I doubt he cares about kobes records. The guy is on pace of beating Jordans records. 72-10, then rings.

Curry takes contested 3s all the time and is a career 44% shooter from 3. Did you know that is the equivalent of shooting 66%?

Kobe's 33.1% from 3 = efg of 49.65%. There are 12 teams that have team averages better than that.

Bringing up the fact that Kobe has always had a habit to shoot moronic shots does not help your case.

Pretty much, but the kobetards think 'greatest bad shot-taker' is a compliment.

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Curry is a point guard that averages 6 assists

Kobe was a shooting guard that averaged 5 assists



I think for their positions kobe is much more of a team player to be quite honest

You may be the most retarded person on this forum.

Their positions have nothing to do with how much the ball is in their hands. :facepalm

Both are guards, but Curry primarily plays off ball much more than Kobe does.

You've said it yourself in the past, Kobe was the primary ball-handler and facilitator for all 5 of his chips.

The ball is in his hands much more than Curry and yet Curry still averages more assists per game. :confusedshrug:

Curry makes his teammates better by playing off ball and thus allowing guys like Green and Iggy to be play-makers.

Kobe is getting less assists, scoring less PPG on worse shooting %'s while having a higher usage rate and eating up more possessions/taking more shots.

Let that sink in.

But...but but....he's the greatest bad shot-maker ever!

What are were their minutes and usage rates though? I'm pretty sure that factors into the assist numbers.

[CurryOverLebron]

I hate Kobe but. lets see him shoot above 47% first.
