No, Curry wouldn't be top 5 in the Iso era.
Sure. Post the stats where Kobe had a better basketball season.
Include efficiency too.

What did I tell you about posting in this forum?
Here Comes the Pain
Superstar
Ironically, Curry is a better scorer than both of them though.
No he isn't.
They played on weaker teams where they had no choice, but to carry the offense. That means defensive sets are gonna be more inclined to double and triple team them since they're the ones that carry the offense. Curry has offensive weapons that allows him to score easier because the defense has to be spread out.
People in here agreeing with OP must be using stats/efficiency as their argument
If you watched kobe in his peak you know he was a monster.
Curry is a different animal.
He's the Goat 3 point shooter But he's not dunking on anyone, hitting fadeaway mid ranges or scoring off post ups like KOBE or not even as good of a defender

KobeCurry would be at worse Top 5 back then, so yeah he would be in the conversation.
Shaq
Duncan
KG
All players who would drop 40 on you while being guarding your best player and holding them to 15 points
That don't even include cats like Iverson, Kidd, Dirk, Tmac, Vince
Watch the games.
Kobe was dropping 50 while holding scoring champs to 0 points.
Kobe is a better basketball player than steph curry. Period.

Iverson and T-Mac couldn't dream of putting up 30 on the efficiency that Curry is doing.
nikka Steph demands more defensive attention than any player since Shaq. The hell are you talking about? "Allowing him to score easier."
He can "score easier" because he's just as deadly off ball as he in on ball.

T-Mac's 02-03 season is arguably = to Curry this season based on advanced metrics....maybe better given defense and roster
Lol, how does Curry require more defensive attention than prime kobe, when Curry plays with another great shooter in Klay thompson who can average 22ppg?Iverson and T-Mac couldn't dream of putting up 30 on the efficiency that Curry is doing.

Prime kobes next best scorer was Lamar Odom, so it doesnt take rocket science to figure out that you can focus more defensive attention on Kobe than you can Curry, who has a team of great shooters to bail him out.

Use single series to judge a player rather than the entirety of a season.
Who cares?
Post the stats across an entire season. I don't care about single games, I look an entire seasons.
Curry was leading his team to record breaking seasons that no one thought would ever get beaten while winning back to back MVPs while shytting on Kobe's efficiency despite taking crazier shots.
Kobe couldn't even shut down Steve Nash in the playoffs.
