Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

You're going too far. Better scorer than Jordan? You're just talking out of your *** right now. Are you really gonna say he's a better scorer than the GOAT, who averaged what Currys averaging right now, for his whole career. MJ averaged 30 for 6 or 7 straight years. Curry might finish a hair above 30 a game, and he'll only have done it once.

Dude had 46 points in 3 quarters.

You have to remember that Curry is averaging 30 PPG in less than 34 MPG.

Jordan ain't got nothing on Curry as a scorer.

What? Jordan has nothing on Curry? You don't know basketball. Is Curry the GOAT then?

As a scorer, Curry gets the nod. And 2k17 gone have it's hands full replicating it.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Now maybe Melo can score in more ways than LeBron. But LeBron being arguably the best finisher in the league makes up for it. But Miami LeBron, who shot 40% from deep one year, could score in more ways. Same thing for Jordan vs KD. Jordan was such a good finisher at the rim, and he had that post game. Those made up for his lack of a good three ball.

So, it doesn't matter that Melo can score in more ways than LeBron because LeBron is the best finisher in the league, but we are going to discount the fact that Steph is far and away the best shooter in the league? Your position seems to be that Steph is a ticking time bomb because he can't possibly keep up his pace with shooting, but you're treating finishing inside as some skill that can be sustained. I'd think that Steph has a better chance of keeping up his scoring ability than LeBron would if he loses a few steps with age.

He does have a better chance of keeping up his scoring. But you guys are all saying he's gonna do this for the next 5-6 years. We haven't seen enough to say that. If he keeps it up next year, then we can talk.

What is MJs best offensive season?

Either 86-87: 37.1 a game on 48% shooting, but only 18% from deep
Or 89-90: 33.6 a game on 52% shooting and 37% from deep

Curry's efficiency as a scorer is out of this world this season. Jordan's range is 0-25 feet at most. Curry's range is 0-40 feet (possibly even beyond that as during off-season practice he shoots around the half court area with a normal jumper), while shooting a better % than Jordan ever did in any season.

If you adjust Jordan's stats in his best seasons to per 36 he's not even close to Curry's this season.

If Curry continues this level of performance or better for the next 3-4 seasons and win a couple more rings, he'll be in the conversation for top 3 all time IMO, up there with MJ/Magic/Bird.

If Curry 3-peats while throwing out these kinds of numbers then he's definitely gonna be top 5 all time IMO.

Curry this season blows 87 Jordan out of the water with every single possible offensive metric + rebounds, DRTG. Only blocks and slightly better steals are in favor of MJ. http://www.basketball-reference.com/...3=&p4=&p5=&p6=

90 Jordan and 2016 Curry is closer. But Jordan has more rebounds, blocks (size) and steals. Curry is still better in everything else.

Note - using per 100 possessions stats to account for pace difference and discrepancy in minutes played.

Ok let's say Curry does this for 4 more years. He's still not top 3 ever. Jordan averaged 30 like 9 times. Magic is the greatest passer this game has ever seen. LeBron James is 2nd or 3rd all-time so don't disrespect him like that. Bird, Wilt, Isaiah, Stockton, Durant, Iverson and more are all ahead of Steph.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

LeBron's 09-10 season: 29.7 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 8.6 apg. Scoring was barely behind Steph, rebounds higher, and assists higher than Steph's career high. Keep in mind LeBron is a SF. Also LeBron averaging 27 on 56/40/77 shooting in Miami. And you say if Steph does this a few more times he's greater than LeBron?

Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Jordans 90/91 season is better than his 89/90 season . 87/88 season is his best season PER wise and 90/91 is the 2nd best not 89/90 .


Yea Curry per this year will be higher than any season Jordan had but curry still has to do this for multiple seasons before you start crowning him such a title . Only thing that separates Curry from Jordan is 3pt shooting and that's because Jordan chose not to work on that area of his game much something he stated before .


It would be nice to see how Curry handled that 90's defense and comp because that was a scary time for offensive players . The physical play most def would have bothered Curry even tho he's a great shooter .

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

jordan would avg 40 points per game if he would have played in this soft age.
heck guys like AI and T-mac and such would have done the same.

now you only have to look at a player and the whistle get blow and lets not forget you cant even hand check.

what curry is doing is great and he will certainly get a place in history but lets not forget that nba has done everything they could to sell offense.....

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Only ppl who think Curry is better than Jordan is teen kids Or low 20's types; basically Individuals who wasn't old enough to watch Jordan. So they go and pull up advanced stats to try and make a comparison on something they wasn't even around to see to compare the two. Curry only has a edge in Jordan with the 3ball, Jordan is better in everthing else.

I've watched both Jordan and Curry careers and I would take Jordan every time if I had to pick one. And I love Curry as he's my favorite NBA player right now. However, I do think he's definitely in the conversation with MJ in terms of impact on the game/team/league.

Side note: ppl and fans in general only know what they see currently. Like the "flavor of the month". They pick was hot "right now" and easily forget the past. And in this case, most ppl here are young teens that's simply not old enough to really know better. But yet, they talk like they know something and have knowledge when in actuality, u only know what advanced stats or metrics tell you. U lack real true knowledge because u wasn't old enough to see Jordan. So stop it, it's annoying.
