I get that response everytime, but it's a very reasonable statment if you compare Curry's abilities and impact to either of those two.

All time Curry isn't in the same universe as either, but in terms of single season greatness (peak) I'd take him over both.

Kobe did have Shaq on his teams.
and Curry has possibly the 2nd best shooter of all time, a dynamic PF who can play great defense, hit 3s and pass like a pg. And a great defensive center. Let's not ignore a great coach, and a stacked bench where any guy can give you 20.

I said possibly when Klay's career is done, he is already top 5-10 imo shooter. And also a great defender. Just shooting wise, he probably has one of the best forms ever and when he gets it going he is right there. Also only guy who can outshoot Curry.

This is fair.

Then again I think the regular season is meaningless and Bean has 6 to 9 playoff seasons equal to or better than Curry's best.

No Kobe's garbage and his 2004 Finals performance puts him in the bottom tier of all nba players and his stans sink him deeper into the abyss.

SO THATS 50% OF THE GAME.....WHERES THE OTHER 50% AT? THATS RIGHT. KOBE IS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF STEPH IN TERMS OF DEFENSE.....BUT EVEN ON OFFENSE, KOBE IS A BETTER OVERALL SCORER THAN CURRY. BETTER FOOTWORK, POST GAME, SLASHER, MID-RANGE.....AND STEPH IS PLAYIN ON AN INCREDIBLE SHOOTING TEAM, MEANING ITS MUCH HARDER TO DOUBLE HIM THAN IT WAS WHEN KOBE WAS PUTTIN UP 35 A NIGHT PLAYIN NEX TO SMUSH PARKER AND LUKE WALTON. FACT OF THE MATTER IS, STEPH IS NOWHERE NEAR KOBE..HES CLOSER TO JOHN STOCKTON, WHICH IS GREAT IN ITS OWN RIGHT....BUT CLEARLY NO KOBE.

:whoa: let's not get carried away here, Stockton actually played on both sides of the court :pachaha:

And? Curry is still a better shooter. Who cares about footwork when Curry can get his shot off against any kind of defense. Curry doesn't need a post game to a better scorer and who care?

Curry is such a better shooter than Kobe that most of the shyt you bring up doesn't matter. Curry gets into the lane at will due to his handles, he's an elite finisher in the paint, he's better shooter and able to get his shot off easier, and he's more efficient.

Kobe has NEVER sniffed Curry's level of efficiency not even when he was playing with the GOAT-tier center as a 2nd option so who cares?

Curry's advantages in creating off the dribble, shooting, and scoring are much more impactful than Kobe's. Melo has better mid-range than Curry but who cares?

Curry is a better passer, playmaker, scorer, shooter, has more range, is better off ball, and more efficient than Kobe has ever been. He's better at making bad shots than Kobe.

Curry is on another level of efficiency. It's like comparing MJ to Iverson. Kobe has never had a season as impressive as Curry's.


CURRY'S EFFICIENCY IS BETTER THAN JORDAN'S HAS EVER BEEN TOO...WHAT DOES THAT TELL U ABOUT THOSE KINDA STATS WHEN ASSESSING GREATNESS? FACT OF THE MATTER IS, CURRY IS NOWHERE NEAR A PRIME KOBE. WIT ALL THE EFFICIENCY AND ABILITY, DUDE WILL STILL NEVER SNIFF 81 IN A GAME OR 35 PPG IN A SEASON. ONLY WAY U CAN COMPARE THESE PLAYERS IS IF UR TROLLIN ALA @Juggalo Fred
