Both Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard already have better resumes than LeBald

[G0ATbe]

And will be battling to further the gap for years to come

Lost in the finals 5.5 times
Greatest choker ever

Curry > Jordan

Jordan simply DID MORE than Curry - he was involved in MORE POSSESSIONS for his team (usage), while producing more PER-possession (ORtg):

1991 vs. 2016:

[COLOR="Navy"]CURRY[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] REG SEASON[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 32.6% usage.. 125 ORtg

[COLOR="Navy"]CURRY[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] PLAYOFFS[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 28.2% Usage.. 115 ORtg

Curry is better on offense because he's more efficient

Curry is more efficient on a per SHOT basis.

However, Jordan was more efficient on a per POSSESSION basis (ortg), which is more important - his higher per possession efficiency was due primarily to lower turnovers, but also because his superior midrange efficiency partially offset Curry's 3-point efficiency.

Ultimately, Jordan simply DID MORE - he was involved in more possessions (usage) at higher efficiency per-possession (ORtg) - Jordan gave his team MORE (possessions) of a GOOD THING (efficiency).

[COLOR="Red"]Curry spaces the floor
[/COLOR]

Jordan's spaces the floor more - when a dangerous rim attacker is on the floor, ALL defenders must cheat off their man (see isiah thomas above), which leaves 3-point shooters and other teammates more open than otherwise.. This is basketball 101.

Otoh, 3-point shooters only cause a single defender to hug them on the perimeter, which doesn't do shit BY ITSELF - it takes the entire Warrior team shooting 3-pointers TOGETHER to provide floor-spacing.

Essentially, 3-point shooters need teammates to help them space the floor, whereas a single rim attacker frees up teammates for open shots all by themselves, by forcing the entire defense to cheat off their man.
