    If MJ had been double and triple teamed from half court, and held all the time like Curry, he would have been lucky to average 20 in his prime

    Curry would put up 50 + against the defense MJ faced

    You got numbers from his prime, im pretty sure he became a better shooter 2nd 3peat....even if not by a large margin.

    Why would that matter anyhow? He would just beat Curry every time on drives

    Apparently, you'll say anything - those stats are from 1997 when MJ was 33 and 34 years old.

    MJ's best shooting years were 1988-1993, particularly 1991 - that's when he shot 55% and had 125 ORtg...

    His ORtg increased to an AMAZING 127 in the 1991 playoffs.. goat

    No way is Curry stopping Mj on defense. None. Mj could stop him though.
