[B][I]Jordan had FAR less turnovers, which squashes Curry's assist advantage, and leaves him with only ONE category that he leads - true shooting.
Jordan leads in every other category, and his playoff stats destroy Curry's 2016 regular season:[/I][/B]

[I][size="2"][b]Jordan had higher PER and equal points-per-possession (ORtg), even though Curry's efficiency is boosted by carrying a smaller load on both sides of the ball: he doesn't play defense and scores a lower proportion of his team's points:[/b][/size]

[I][b][SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Since Jordan reached the holy grail of basketball (winning championship and FMVP) [I][COLOR="DarkRed"]while carrying a bigger load[/COLOR][/I], who cares about true shooting.[/COLOR]
This notion that Curry is on Jordan's level due to true shooting ALONE is ludicrous - if that was the case, then Tyson Chandler, Ibaka, Dell Curry and Reggie Miller would also be on Jordan's level.. :rolleyes: [/SIZE][/b][/I]
In conclusion,
Curry > Jordan.

Curry leads Jordan in ONE category - true shooting.
Jordan leads in all other categories and carried a bigger load on both sides of the ball.

Jordan automatically wins. Curry's team are gone fishing after tonight's game.
