Jordan 1988 (19 gm): 35.1 ppg.. 5.5 rpg.. 6.7 apg.. 3.8 spg.. 1.9 bpg.. 55.8 fg.. 61.9 ts.. 128 ortg[/COLOR]

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.”

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

That was prime Jordan.

[aj1987]

MJ averaged 37 ppg on all two-pointers with good efficiency

Again, MJ didn't need the 3-point line to average 30+

Also, within those 37 ppg, MJ made more 2-point jumpshots than anyone in the league.. He's one of the best 2-point jumpshooters of all time.
.

Curry is the GOAT shooter. Any shot and from anywhere on the court.

Do you even watch the games, you inbred shit? The shots Curry makes on a regular basis would be a highlight shot for any player.

Look at this shit:

Miller hit the ball on the way up and Curry still made it.

MJ is not even close to being as good a shooter Curry is. From ANYWHERE on the court.

Curry would easily average 45ppg during the late 80s

Jordan would average about 26 if he were in his prime in 2015

[J Shuttlesworth]

Curry can score the same amount of points with less attempts since he's making so many 3's.

3 > 2
Curry > MJ

[ralph_i_el]

Nope
Curry>MJ

MJ was never even good.

[oarabbus]

Curry would have average Wilt-like numbers had he played in Jordan's era. Weak joke era.

[sd3035]

Michael Ordan was very limited offensively, the game has evolved beyond his skill set

[Showtime80']

Yeah joke era! LOL!!!

The Jordan era included Magic, Bird, Kareem, Isiah, Moses, Wilkins, Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Hakeem, Ewing, Drexler, Robinson, Shaq! The Showtime Lakers, Bad Boy Pistons and great Celtics teams! Physical REAL basketball played with classic

What's Curry's era!

LeBron's one man team taking him to 6 games and what else! Harden? injured KD? fragile Rose? Dumb as a rock Westbrook? Please!. Oh yea no dominant centers with soft rules put into place for perimeter players to dominate the game by jacking 3's!

Of course 3>2 when teams don't have the ABILITY OR PERSONNEL to play inside out basketball and obtain spacing and quick scoring opportunities from the commitment of the defense down low. They HAVE to take 3 pointers. What the hell are the Clippers and Rockets going to do? Rely on their pathetically limited post offensive centers in Jordan and Howard?!? I would shoot 20+ threes as well.

Spacing has always existed!!! Go watch the great Lakers or Celtics from the 80's when teams collapsed down low on Kareem, McHale, Worthy or Parish, all the people that were left wide open for 18 to 20 foot LAYUP!

Compare that to today's CLOCK CONSUMING spacing which consists of 5 perimeter players trying to break down defenses from 30 feet away taking 20 to 22 seconds to launch a contested 3 pointer! PATHETIC. The fast break has also decayed as well with PG's thinking about scoring instead of directing an offense properly.

Teams in the 80's didn't NEED THE 3-POINTER to hang 120 because the offenses were quick hitting inside out well oiled machines instead of the NBA Jam schemes we see today.

Call me when at least 25 teams break 100 ppg for an entire season!

[Showtime80']

Yep a guy like Russell Westbrick, who's not even in the same realm as Michael Jordan in terms of skills, basketball fundamentals, athleticism and general IQ is the 3rd best player in today's NBA! Let that sink in

how can someone named 3ball hate curry so much

He hates every player besides Jordan. Doesn't even enjoy watching basketball, just spends his entire day diminishing every great player

maybe 3ball is MJ himself. that would explain a lot.

Would those guys have roster spots in today's league? I dunno. I'd take Magic and Bird tho. They'd be great locker room guys. I might also take Kareem depending on whether our team is storing the towels in the top shelf or not.
