Steph Curry right now is better than Kobe ever was

[Juggalo Fred]

Look, if Curry can't drag these boys to the playoffs, his legacy needs to be looked at. Klay was the true engine of that team.

I'd say curry was the engine

 

[Juggalo Fred]

He's on his way to being the best guard in California basketball history

If he pulls this off, itll be more impressive than anything Kobe has ever done

That team took out Bron’s cavs
Curry choked a 3-1 lead in the finals vs the cavs in 2016
Which Game 7 I know you not talking bout that 2010 title cuz even if he wasn’t there offensively he still affected the game in other ways which helped us win that game casual

So get the fukk out outta here I want the Celtricks to lose but you curry fans are straight on fukking dog food

 

[BlueHeffner]

Negro please.

Name the Finals performance more impressive …

kobe was negatively affecting the game with his 6-24 performance

i am most definitely not a curry fan

but if he wins he goes into Top 10

and the only person he can bump is Kobe

Curry might be the most dominant offensive player since....Shaq (another player better than Kobe at his peak). Curry bends the defense with the three just like Shaq bent the defense by making it collapse inside.

He certainly has a case, clearly one of the GOAT offensive packages ever...

Well I disagree with that. More important than anything is developing a strong knowledge of the game itself which then makes it easy to understand what made players great and how they impacted the game for the better compared to others. In addition to that, I have seen Magic in his era through hours of game footage, with context have taken note of his stastitcal outputs in his greatest seasons and most importantly was willing to lean on the testaments of those who did live in the era to better shape my stance. This isn't an opinion developed overnight, but over a very long period of time. When studying history in general you can definately become well versed on a topic even if you didn't live in the time. Just have to put in the work which again, I've done more than I'd care to admit.

You have plenty of people from older eras who will downplay everything and anything accomplished now because they are impartial to their own time period. If anything perspective can be clouded by personal favorites. I try to keep that out of the equation. I do understand the differences of each era as well.

Also, when I say that I'd take Curry over both doesn't mean I don't clearly understand the argument from there sides as well. When comparing players this great rarely is there not room for discussion so I'm not of the mindset that this is an open & shut case. You are free to choose Magic (& Oscar for that matter) over Curry as peak players. It's the likes of Stockton and Kidd I would take massive issue with however.

Bruh what happened to this poster? One of the GOATs we had on this side of the board...

This is an A1 post, only in sports do you hear people say "you can't have an opinion on something you weren't around for". Muhfukkas don't do this with fashion, art, literature, history in general, politics, and only in hip hop but not to this degree and no other form of music...

Having the knowledge to speak on any subject is imperative, doesnt really matter when you were born because nobody was around to experience every moment of time. I wish dudes would quit that archaic, idiotic thinking in The Coliseum...

Who said Curry has had a better career than Kobe? I said that the Curry that we've seen, this year, put up a better season than Kobe ever has.

Durant's MVP YEAR was better than any single season Kobe has done too. Kobe's claim to fame isn't his one year prime, IMO, it's his sheer longevity. Same reason why I'd take Duncan over Shaq even though I think Shaq's prime is better than Duncan.

And Curry's season is better than ANY one of Kobe's season.

Oh, the career vs career is very arguable now. It isn't definitive, and because it isn't Kobe (and all previous greats) deserves benefit of doubt until it becomes definitive, but career is more than arguable today as compared to when you posted this 6 years ago...

A bunch of All-Timers had better single seasons than Kobe's best season. I've been saying for years what you said, well before I started posting here---->Kobe's longevity of elite play is what got him into these conversations. His peak wasn't uniquely high, he doesn't have a hit list of All-Time performances in The Finals despite playing in 7 of them, or in the playoffs as a whole...

He was a 6'4/6'5 player who worked his ass off to be one of the best players in a league of giants for minimum a dozen years. THAT'S why he's an All-Timer, you can count on one hand the players who had that length of longevity, THAT'S unique...

If he pulls this off, itll be more impressive than anything Kobe has ever done

This isn't the Comeback Kobe run. It could, I guess, be considered Steph's Comeback run, and there's a parallel to be drawn between Post-Shaq Kobe, and Post-Durant Steph. Gotta wait to see how Steph's career finishes from here to elevate it over the Comeback Kobe run...

Kobe did win an MVP, an MVP runner-up, two titles and 3 Finals appearances in his run. Can't short that...

That said, we are long overdue for a direct Steph/Kobe comparison. Steph has earned that...
