Lol at the Kobe and Jordan stans trying to name drop them with Curry

[Cold soul]

Even in your heart you don't buy that shit


These threads are so insecure.

The dude is clearly trolling not hard to see.

[bigkingsfan]

Until I see at least 6/6 with 6 FMVP, it don't get more relevant!

Bill Russel already surpassed that.

So you really think Curry is 1/10th the player Jordan is?

[Straight_Ballin]

Curry doesnt have a team as stacked as MJ's bulls

Jordan got nowhere without a top 50 player in Pippen

Curry has the most stacked team in the history of the game! Even more so than any Celtic team!

MJ did so much more with LESS!

[ninephive]

Stop, it's embarrassing. Those guys are done and retired, also Curry is a better offensive player than both. Deal with it

Lol, Curry just needs to win 4 more titles and start playing defense to be in that conversation.

[Straight_Ballin]

Bill Russel already surpassed that.

You or I never saw Russell and Russell wasn't the man during all those wins. Check the breakdown of stats of the teams he played on during those wins.

He won league MVP five times, simple math.

melt down

Another post by a 12 year old I see.

[knicksman]

Well, they have above 50% finals win%.

[iznogood]

Lol why are bran stans trying to deflect the fact that Bron and Curry both play in today's game and Curry is the clear cut best player in the game currently playing, regardless if he's currently 1/10th of what MJ was. Don't worry that he's only 1/10th of MJ, and appreciate what he's doing in this watered down era!!

ordan = 1/9th of curry tho

Curry is a better offensive player than both. Deal with it

Jordan was involved in MORE possessions for his team (usage), while producing more per-possession (ORtg) - he simply DID MORE:

1991 vs. 2016:

[COLOR="DarkRed"]JORDAN REG SEASON[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 32.9% Usage.. 125 ORtg
[COLOR="Navy"]CURRY[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] REG SEASON[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 32.6% Usage.. 125 ORtg

Career

[COLOR="DarkRed"]JORDAN REG SEASON[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 33.3% Usage.. 118 ORtg
[COLOR="Navy"]CURRY[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] REG SEASON[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 26.9% Usage.. 117 ORtg

[COLOR="DarkRed"]JORDAN PLAYOFF[/COLOR]S:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] 35.6% Usage.. 118 ORtg
[COLOR="Navy"]CURRY[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] PLAYOFFS[/COLOR]:[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 28.2% Usage.. 115 ORtg

Jordan gave his team MORE (possessions) of a GOOD THING (per possession efficiency)

And Jordan played more minutes and games too. PER MIN efficiency dun tell the whole thing cuz

Joradn 10, Curry 9.5 at best

Curry is more efficient on a per SHOT basis, but Jordan was more efficient on a per POSSESSION basis (ortg), which is more important.

Jordan's higher per possession efficiency was due primarily to lower turnovers, but also because his superior midrange efficiency partially offset Curry's 3-point 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.

Curry has the most stacked team in the history of the game! Even more so than any Celtic team!

MJ did so much more with LESS!

Agreed and Jordan didn't have teammates spreading the floor for him either - teams only attempted 5 threes per game when Jordan won his first ring in 1991, compared to 25 attempts per game for today's teams.

So today's player benefits from teammates that space the floor and cause defenders to cover more ground - three-point shooters benefit [COLOR="Navy"]the most[/COLOR] from scrambling defenders, which is why 80% of today's 3-pointers (including Curry's) are "open" or "very open", as described on NBA.com's stats page.

Otoh, Jordan achieved his stats WITHOUT teammates spreading the floor.. In today's spaced-out game, his stats would explode because he has the same (better) athleticism as Lebron/Westbrook, but they can't shoot, and Jordan could - he had goat midrange efficiency, much better than Curry's, which puts him in Curry's category as a goat shooter, and gives him a similarly massive advantage over non-shooters Lebron and Westbrook.

Curry has two years of elite play to his name

Kobe and Jordan had better careers, deal with it.

[SpreeS]

Curry spreads the floor for teamates. All defence's atention goes to Curry. He doesnt care about floor spacing and made 16 3pt attempt tonight.
