You are an idiot.
You realize shot-creation is a skill? Go watch the Finals and WCF and watch how difficult it was for Steph at times to create a decent look, AI never had that issue in his prime.
On top of that, AI was a tier above Steph when it comes to athleticism and stamina.
The Cavs would never be able to get away with Tristen Thompson switches on defense against Iverson in his prime, like they did with Steph.

Re: Is Curry even better offensively than Iverson?
Iverson's quickness, combined with his ball handling and ability to change direction with the crossover is unequaled in the history of the NBA.
In one on one situations, it was almost impossible to stay in front of him without giving him enough space to shoot.

College star
Re: Is Curry even better offensively than Iverson?
If I had to choose someone to guard and my life depended on defending them well, I'd choose to defend Curry. I think Iverson would be near impossible to stay with.

I don't get picked last at the park anymore
Re: Is Curry even better offensively than Iverson?
Curry is only the better shooter. Iverson better at everything else.

I get superstar calls
Re: Is Curry even better offensively than Iverson?
Curry's regular season has been better than anything Iverson has done, but it doesn't translate deep into the playoffs so you have to give the nod to the Answer.

Bingo. EVERYTHING else. Playmaking too. Even though Iverson wasn't always the most willing passer.
Curry is the more destructive offensive player because of the 3 ball, but he's not even close to being as great of a scorer.
Particularly in one on one, non pick and switch related possessions.

Say what you want, Iverson wouldn't have went down so meekly like Curry did in this years Finals
