Curry had the 2016 blunder...

But Kobe has 04 Pistons (WOAT) and 08 celtics


Curry played with KD... but Kobe played with Shaq.

Kobe was a better defender... but many acknowledge his later all-defensive nods were off reputation

It's closer than yall think :manny:


And Curry has multiple MVP awards and is the best shooter of all time

Curry's impact on the game and the accolades that he has collected in the past 8 years elevated him above Kobe. Breaking the three-point record and having another excellent playoffs run are the factors that persuade me to put him above Kobe. Also, longevity is going to be on Steph's side since he is very skillful on the offensive end and very subtle on the defensive side as a solid help defender. I see Steph as Lebron and Kareem, both players were able to sustain their prime years for a very long time and were impactful in their championship teams in their late 30s. In addition, I won't be surprised if Curry's career mirrors Tom Brady's longevity of dominating a professional league. He can reach Brady's level if he doesn't encounter a career-ending injury.

Steph is a great, historic player, and the best shooter ever, but he's also played on some very well-constructed teams. Hell, Klay is (or was) like if Peja was an elite defender. Most recent teams besides the Spurs or Raptors with Kawhi haven't been well-constructed IMO. Kobe was truly dazzling to watch. You could put more of a burden on him than Steph, IMO.

Steph curry is a liability on defence , he is no where close to kobe on an individual level. Kobe earned 9 first team all defensive selections, while the other guy is hunted on the other end and sometimes a flat out liability.

Are we sure Steph is even better than peak Dwade? He‘s gotta clear that before he gets to Kobe. Kobe played at an elite level for about 15 years. Steph been elite for about half that time. Kobe also was a 2 way player with multiple FMVPs and that’s gotta matter at this level. So as much as I wanna slide Steph past Kobe im not gonna be able to do it...

Kobe took our real Celtics team by himself on the finals, lebron needed wade and Bosh to beat the same team after they mentally damaged him

:whoo: This Celtics team isn't remotely as good as that Celtics team. Rondo/Pierce/KG/Allen/etc.? Sheesh. I miss that slow Paul Pierce old man expert footwork shyt; nikka moved like he was on xanax but you couldn't guard him. I kinda only respect Horford.
