there's a bigger change in team ORtg when Kobe leaves the floor or comes back in than Curry - Kobe simply had bigger offensive impact
But the media simply likes to overrate guys - it makes their job and analysis easier - that's what they did with Bron and now Curry
They're overrating his offensive impact - the stats above show that
