    .
    Jordan had FAR less turnovers, which squashes Curry's assist advantage, and leaves him with only ONE category that he leads - true shooting.

    Jordan leads in every other category, and his playoff stats destroy Curry's 2016 regular season:



    Per 100 Possessions

    [COLOR="DarkRed"]JORDAN 1991 RS: 42.7 pts.. 8.1 reb..[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 7.5 ast.. 3.3 tov.. 3.7 stl.. 1.4 blk.. 60.4 ts.. 125 ORtg.. 31.6 PER.. 0.321 WS/48[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Navy"]CURRY [COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 2016 RS: 42.5 pts.. 7.7 reb..[COLOR="White"]4[/COLOR] 9.4 ast.. 4.7 tov.. 3.0 stl.. 0.3 blk.. 66.9 ts.. 125 ORtg.. 31.5 PER.. 0.318 WS/48[/COLOR]
    [COLOR="Red"]JORDAN 1991 PO: 41.8 pts.. 8.5 reb.. 11.2 ast.. 3.4 tov.. 3.2 stl.. 1.8 blk.. 60.0 ts.. 127 ORtg.. 32.0 PER.. 0.333 WS/48[/COLOR]



    Jordan had higher PER and equal points-per-possession (ORtg), even though Curry's efficiency is boosted by carrying a smaller load on both sides of the ball: he doesn't play defense and scores a lower proportion of his team's points:

    JORDAN 1998... 36.3..... 42.1..... 39.7..... 48.8...... 43.6...... 49.1

    CURRY 2015..... 29.9..... 36.2..... 33.4..... 36.6...... 29.3...... 40.6
    CURRY 2016..... 35.0..... 39.3




    [COLOR="Navy"]Since Jordan reached the holy grail of basketball (winning championship and FMVP) [COLOR="DarkRed"]while carrying a bigger load[/COLOR], who cares about true shooting.[/COLOR]

    This notion that Curry is on Jordan's level due to true shooting ALONE is ludicrous - if that was the case, then Tyson Chandler, Ibaka, Dell Curry and Reggie Miller would also be on Jordan's level..

    In conclusion,

    Curry > Jordan.

    Curry leads Jordan in ONE category - true shooting.

    Jordan leads in all other categories and carried a bigger load on both sides of the ball.

    Since Jordan reached the holy grail of basketball (winning championship and FMVP) while carrying a bigger load, who cares about true shooting.

    Jordan automatically wins. Curry's team are gone fishing after tonight's game.
