To be fair to someone like Ray...he was pretty much reaching the end of his prime when the rules changed that made it easier for guards. Steph has had the advantage of this his entire career. Ray was 30 when the rules changed. Look what he did in his prime on the Bucks...basically averaged 43% from 3pt land taking 6.5 or so 3pters a game vs tougher defense than Steph is facing.

Re: Do ppl still think peak Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Nash are on Currys level?
Yes absolutely. Curry is amazing but he's still just as bad at defense and turns it over a lot. It's not like it's an insult to be those guys in their prime. I mean seriously, do you even remember how good prime Allen and Nash were?

Steph is a MUCH better defender than Nash.........hes improved his defense this season. Hes a better playmaker and shooter than Ray or Reggie.......he had the best 3pt shooting season of all time and hes an MVP caliber player now. Not faux MVP system made like Nash either

I think people forget how good Ray Allen was in his prime. He was far from just a 3 point shooter. Curry's skill set is more than just 3's too, but it's not like he's far ahead prime Ray Allen or anything. Prime Ray was something like 26/4/4 shooting over 40% from 3. He was also pretty good on defense too. Curry's great, but I think Ray Allen was playing against tougher defenses too. I'm sure curry will be > ray by the time he retires though

Ignoring the topic I feel that these last few years have made people underestimate Nash too much. Curry can be better or worse player but Nash is not treated justly.

he's not a better shooter than ray or reggie or nash
nash multiple 50/40/90 seasons. curry has none.
ray and reggie were bonafide shooters during a time when the 3pt was not widely used like it is in curry's time, so we're talking apples and oranges a bit here.
still, during his hay-day ray was a scorer that could shoot, not a shooter that could score. he put the ball on the floor and went to work during times when again, the 3pt shot just wasn't utilized as much, especially in the rugged eastern conference which sought to take that shot away. his numbers ballooned when he went to seattle.
reggie was much more clutch obviously, and the thing was the offense wasn't even ran through him. it ran through rik smits. he was almost purely an off-ball player spot-up shooter who ran off screens and he was arguably the best ever at it.

Uh all those guys got their teams to at least the conference finals as the best player on the team... Curry hasn't.

Oh please, the only one plays below-average defense in this bunch is Steve Nash.

if steph was shooting a low volume like Nash he wouldve easily had 50/40/90s
Steph is a better overall player than all 3
