So how good is Curry right now?

[Doctor K]

Is he better than Durant has ever been?

How about Wade has ever been?

How about Kobe has ever been?

How about Lebron has ever been?


imo he's better right now and makes more impact than any of thse guys ever have

[Stout]

I would say better than all of those guys. You have to go back to prime Duncan and Shaq to match this. And Duncan you have to look only at the playoffs, because he was never this good in the regular season.

[Marchesk]

Greater than peak Newton but not quite at prime Tesla's level yet.

[WayOfWade]

Offensively? Yeah I'd say he's better than all, or at least in the conversation. Overall though? I can't put him over players like Kobe/Bron/Wade because of the defensive intensity those guys brought, they dominated BOTH sides of the ball, something Curry CAN'T do. Plus, this is just one season, he hasn't even won the title this year yet, give it time.
I do believe however that Curry can surpass all mentioned, it'll take a lot of work (and luck) though

Put prime Lebron on the worst team in the league and put Curry on the worst team in the league and see who achieves more. Hell, put today's Lebron on the worst team and he still pushes that team further than Curry does.

There's your answer, the same with Wade and Kobe...

One needs almost everything perfect around him to show his absolute dominance while others mentioned can do it almost on the same level(compared to their level of play, not Curry's) with any team they are given.

Beside of Lebron , yes .

Another thing to point out is that Curry is playing on another level this year or lets say the last 2 years. He's 27 years old now. How good was he when he was 22, 23, 24, 25 years old? He was good but he was NOWHERE close as good as he is now.

Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Wade they were all better when they were 27 than when they were 23, 24 years old but the difference was certainly not that big as it is with Curry. So I'm a little hesitant to believe that Curry of all of them is that player who just in 2 years became so much better so that it seems he's from another planet....

But another thing which changed drastically from when Curry was just 22, 23, 24 years old is the Warriors team, they got rid of Monta and started getting right pieces around Curry who were at the beginning all pretty young (Thompson, Green, Ezeli, Barnes all younger than Curry) so that team couldn't be as dominant from the start. And consequently Curry couldn't be as dominant from the start. But now those players are slowly aging and at the same time constructing insane chemistry on that team, also adding Igoudala and all of a sudden Curry starts playing like he's the best player in NBA history....

That would give you the best player to carry scrub teams.

Which is a specific scenario and doesn't give you the best player period.

[LARRY BROWN]

ill laugh when he tears his acl Saturday night!

[Optimus Prime]

I don't know. Is he good? Can LeBron get him?

That would give me individually the best overall basketball player who almost always plays to his maximum standard no matter what players he's surrounded with.

See my next post, do you really believe that Curry just in 2-3 years became soooooo much better than he was before? Or did something else around him changed significantly which lets him play to his maximum level now?

Curry was breaking the 3 point record in 13 before Green even was a starter and snd klay was a scrub. At the start of Curry Career he was hampered by ankle injuries. He said he would have to rehab during the summer instead of getting better. Since 13 Curry has steadily improved.
