Current Steph Curry vs. Peak Ray Allen

[KNOW1EDGE]

That man needs Jesus

This

I guess people either forgot, or weren't alive when Ray was in his prime, had a silky smooth game, could bam out, finish around the hoop with soft touch and athleticism, play defense, wasn't injured every year like Steph.

Curry is a great shooter, not even close to as athletic as Ray was, and not as good on the defensive end.

So that is our argument/proof that Curry is a better player than Ray Allen in his prime?

#of years Curry has been in the league: 4

#of times hes played in the playoffs: 1

So who has the better % there wise guy??

Don't use KD's face in such a moronic post.

He would be very upset with you

curry is a one trick pony.

peak ray had way more overall game.

If we are talking strickly 3 point shooting, then you have to go with Curry because he is the better 3 point shooter. As good as Allen is, Curry is just that much better and that speaks volumes as to just how good Curry can shoot the rock behind the arc.

It you are talking vs peak Ray Allen overall as a player in terms of contribution, then it answer is obviously Allen as he (at his peak) is the better overall player and it's not even close.

curry's defense.... what defense?

opposing guards always have HUGE nights when they face curry.

here's curry looking like he doesn't even exist on the floor...

Allen was always just a 3 point shooter. Like a Mike Miller but healthy. Of course Curry is better. He will break all his records if healthy.

This is so far from true.

He's turned into primarily a spot-up shooter now that he's old but in his prime he was an all-around player who did much more than just shoot 3s.

I suggest you watch some of his highlight footage from his younger days. Curry might be as good of a shooter, but Ray was a legit superstar and #1 go-to option for much of his career...

Curry also scores in other ways too and Mark Jackson claimed him to be an elite defender. Also Curry's a better passer and ball handler.

I'd rather run my offense through Curry.....

lolwut. Curry can handle and pass way better than Ray ever could. infact Curry led the playoffs in assist per game.

Ray Allen is one of the most overrated players on this board. Thing is, so is Steph Curry.

Curry is a PG

Ray is not and never has been, so using assists #'s to compare the 2 is pretty ridiculous.
