I can't remember what page it was on so I could easily quote it and answer like that, but a nikka lazy as hell breh.
Off top, u said Curry never faced defenses that could lock in on him. Yet, Curry has literally changed how defense needs to be played and EASILY gets more defensive attention than anyone since MJ. This shyt ain't even questionable.
U said Curry gets most his points off 3's and assists

meaning u clearly don't watch basketball. THE nikka IS SHOOTING THE 2ND HIGHEST % IN THE PAINT FOR EVERYBODY, NOT JUST GUARDS. Please think about that for a minute. Also only assisted on something like 26% of his buckets. U said some other shyt that I don't feel like looking back at. It's all good though breh

@Gil Scott-Heroin
Ok, breh. Good points made.
I don't watch statistics though just the game and I see him shooting way too many wide open 3s and basically driving down open lanes and making uncontested scoop shots or backdoor layups cause teams are falling asleep on him.
Mainly it's just warriors coaching good team chemistry and execution helping curry.
Yea teams are focusing on him more than anyone else shy of jordan but they still can't neglect the other 3 Allstars 2 of which are are better than curry any given night. Klay is nearly as good of a shooter as Curry and Draymond is arguably the most important piece on the team... and then theres IGGY. Saying having those players around curry dont help him or is like saying Pippen and Rodman didnt help Jordan,
and Curry is NO Jordan.
Teams cant focus their whole defensive on stopping curry cause unlike Jordans Bulls in the late 80s-early-90's Curry has help.
And that's why curry and draymond are having record breaking seasons and klay is shooting better than anyone not named curry. Its all one big cycle. Team basketball. Iggy and Barnes and all the other warriors role players are there to do what they do.
Iverson had none of this, except mutumbo who couldnt even score.
All I'm saying is AI didn't have those type of teammates to lessen his load or occupy defenses from focusing only on him; Trying to stop just him.
I argue Iverson saw as much attention as curry and was the only major scoring option because he had no other "real" all stars playing alongside him in philly whereas curry has 2-3 every night
Still Iverson scored more and assisted as much as curry. And he did it for 3-4 seasons against all the hall of farmers still playing today except they were in their primes.
On top of that he scored despite not having or relying on a 3 point shot.
He got his buckets the hard way.
Not to take away from curry for having a better shot and teammates to set him up but that alone seperates the two.
Iverson scored more ways than curry.
I like to think if curry wasn't able to shoot threes he'd struggle to average 30, but AI would still get it from breaking defenders down scoring anyway possible and getting to the line.
Curry couldn't do this cause he's way more soft and not quick as AI, doesn't have the same handles and even though much taller he plays below the rim.
AI was just a different breed. It's hard to even compare them or the two eras
He played in a more physical era and just a game with a different mentality.
I don't think curry could do what he's doing now years ago with iversons sixers.
Until I see curry do what he's doing for a FULL season and do it again...
Iverson>Curry
Kobe>Curry as well obviously
