January 1988 was greater for MJ in every category - this includes nearly twice as many steals and 10 times the blocks... As Popovich recently said, MJ is the standard for 2-way play:

"He (Kawhi) has the ability to do what a Michael Jordan did at both ends, and I don’t mean he’s Michael Jordan,” Popovich said. “But you think about the best players in the league, they’re not two-way players. He wants to do that.”

This.

At this point this is just sad. Not funny, not anger-inducing, just sad.

[IGOTGAME]

I'll tell you one thing. Curry is a better offensive player than Jordan. Game has changed old man.

Just imagine Steph Curry's offense, and then add defensive capability and athleticism superior to Kawhi Leonard.

That was prime Jordan.

[Quickening]

MJ best efg% was in 89-90 at 55% on 33.6ppg... Curry this season so far is shooting 64% efg on 34.2 ppg.

Curry is a better scorer so far this season than MJ ever was...

[Kawhi]

FOH.

[lilteapot]

3ball is irate that Curry is more unguardable than Michael Whoredan

Yeah especially once you remove the goat shooting ability.

Hell yeah.

Pretty much this.

MJ best efg% was in 89-90 at 55%.. Curry this season so far is shooting 64% efg

Efg doesn't matter because Curry's is boosted by 3-pointers.

MJ has much higher points-per-possession, so he's the more efficient scorer.

Curry is a better scorer so far this season than MJ ever was...

Let me know when Curry has more than 1 career 40 point playoff game.... MJ has 38, which is #1 all-time (1 every 5 playoff games)...

The #2 guy only has 20, or half of MJ's total.. Curry can never match MJ on either end of the floor

Curry has goat scoring at now .

MJ's best seasons ( 87 and 88 ) ;

88 Jordan 100 poss - 43.6 pts , %60.3 TS

87 Jordan 100 poss - 46.4 pts , %56.2 TS

Curry at now ;

46.1 pts , %69.2 TS .

If Curry keep his level at end of season , He steal goat scoring season from 2006 Kobe .

[fragokota]

3ball, you're one sad insecure m'fcker....

[sd3035]

3ball is fuming mad that Curry is better offensively in today's tough D era than Michael Ordan was during the matador defense era of the late 80s

[dankok8]

How about Adrian Dantley?
