Let me clarify, if you want to argue those players had historic seasons, then by all means. But to dismiss Curry and say he is't in the conversation is wrong. He is likely at the top of the conversation.
Also, a really good video on why Steph is actually a good defender (especially considering the load he has on offense).

Curry is not at the top of the conversation. You're stuck in the "what have you done for me recently?" mentality.
MJ averaged 35/5.5/5.9 with 3 SPG on 53.5% shooting. Oh and did you know he averaged 35 PPG while only making 7 threes all year? Not enough for you? He also won Defensive Player of the Year.
And that's just one of his seasons. As stated earlier, LeBron and Wilt have had better seasons too. This Curry lovefest needs to stop, he is a great offensive player but he is only average on defense and you should know that if you need to pull a YouTube video out of your *** to try and make your argument, you're probably wrong. If he was a good defender, he would get proper recognition. But he hasn't because he's average and nowhere near an elite defender, unlike the aforementioned players.
