Steph Curry is the better player. A score first guard has a case to advance further in the playoffs. CP3 is the most overrated player and a lot of people agree on it. Assist should be credited to the guy that scores.. Can't even get to the second rounds and gets blown out like a scrub in the playoffs

Cp3 will get eliminated again in the first round.

Steph Curry is...a top 3 point guard in 2013-2014?

What has CP3 achieve to be considered the greatest? Padding the assist? or Flop ? or getting embarass and blown out by San Antonio on their own home floor or getting his ass spanked by Memphis in the 1st round?

Curry has the more potential, he's the more talented player. He is 2nd in assists and scores more than Paul. Paul wishes he could shoot like Steph, yet Steph is almost the passer CP3 is, he's 2nd in assist, just right behind Paul.

Yea but its not like CP3 is a bad shooter, he is a good shooter just not as great as Steph. He can create his shot off the dribble better than he can, also sets his teammates up for good shots better than Steph, also a much better defender.. he can find more ways to win the game basically.

Same for Steph, he can do what cp3 does pretty well and is only getting better. head to head, curry gets the better of him most of the time. Even in Paul's best performance ever, curry held his own. Plus Steph's better at winning in postseason, that's what matters ultimately
I don't think 1 player, coach or even GM would agree with you in the NBA. Paul has been on and off the best PG for the last 5 years with Rondo/Rose shining briefly ever so often.

You know how easy it is to stop Curry in the playoffs? Just put a longer defender on him like a SG and its all over. Paul? You can throw the team bus at him and he will still find ways to punish you.

Curry 12 playoff games: 23/4/8 on 43% shooting

Paul 40 playoff games: 21/5/9.5 on 48% shooting

Continue talking out of your ass, by all means. If you think there is an argument for Curry, you're a retard. Paul averages more assists on much better a/t ratio, just to top it off. :hammerhead:

really?...guess that would explain all the early exits...Paul's entire game revolves around the PnR trap him and game over. Chris Paul is overrated..and vastly overrated... Curry can get his own shot whenever he wants without being nearly as reliant on the pick and roll as paul. Also, anyone that think chris paul is a good defender is crazy...Curry leads the entire league in on/off the court differential on offense... Paul is a better passer...that's it, and better at gambling for steals.

Part of the reason paul hardly if ever leaves the first round is because NBA coaches aren't going to let a pick and roll basketball team beat them in a 7 game series...It's safe to assume that every team in the playoffs knows how to neutralize a pick and roll... Chris paul will never win a ring as the best player on a team. Curry is much deadlier than Chris Paul and does a better job scoring when his team needs it as opposed to paul being too passive all the time...

Yeah because winning a game is done by 1 person right?:facepalm Curry isn't the defender CP3 is, CP3 can hurt a team in various ways. Steph Curry is a great shooter and becoming a good playmaker but hes definitely not on CP3 level with getting his teammates involved. That's ultimately how you win games is playing as a TEAM.

It's my opinion. I'm more impressed by Curry's 3's. He broke the 3 pt record. And his assist totals suggest he's the one player on Paul's level. We're talking about right now, not the last 4 years.

If my intention is only making a case for Steph Curry over CP3 and not taking my personal opinion in consideration, this is how it would go:

Very few point guards in the history of the NBA have been able to win championships as the best player on their team. It rarely happens.

In today's league, the best teams have multiple perimeter players that can create for others. Many times, the best teams don't even have traditional point guards. The Lakers with DFish, Miami with Chalmers, Indiana with George Hill... etc.

Chris Paul's main strength is his ability to create for others. If you have another player like Lebron James on the team, Chris Paul isn't a great off-ball player and one would take away from the other.

On the other hand, if you paired Lebron with Curry, you've got an incredibly deadly duo. Curry isn't a slouch on passing and he just might be the best point guard in the league at playing off the ball.

Curry barely manage to get in my top 5 PGs.

Curry is actually quite a good defender, he's not as good on CP3 on defense, but he is a good defender. Curry is a big guard and he positions himself well on defense and clearly gives some point guards trouble.

Curry doesn't "only shoot 3's better". He plays off the ball much better than CP3 because that's what he had to do for half of his career.

I'd take CP3 over Curry any day. I'd give up the shooting if it comes with someone so turnover prone.

Pretty sure everyone would take CP3 over Curry.

The only instance in which I wouldn't is if I were pairing one of the two PG's with someone like Lebron or Durant who can create for others as well as play off the ball. Curry would be such a deadly pairing with either of those two.

This. Add in the fact that CP3's BBIQ is skyhigh, he makes few mistakes and doesn't commit many turnovers despite handling the ball most of the game.

Watching CP3 really is watching greatness. He knows the right way to play and consistently does things to give his team a chance to win be it a crucial late game steal, game winning shot or dissecting the defense to find an open teammate. He reminds me of Duncan in that he doesn't care about his stats or being the hero, he just does everything he can to win.

He is brilliant.

Curry can take over the game with his scoring ability.

CP3 stat padding assist and playing passive makes him a loser as he doesn't have what it takes to take over the game like Westbrook, Curry and other PG who can dominate the game scoring wise.

The only possible argument you could make for Curry over CP3 is that a team with CP3 as the primary option won't win a championship as PG's generally don't.

A Curry led team team won't win a championship either... but Curry would be a better 2nd option on a championship team than CP3 IMO.
I wouldn't say that.

Put CP3 on the Rockets and the Rockets will have a HUGE chance to win as CP3 being their best player.

Put Curry on the Pacers and the Pacers will be the favorite with Curry being their best player

Defenses have to guard Curry differently than Paul.. Curry is more dangerous and more impactful.. I've never seen a team give Paul the type of attention that the Cavs gave Curry in the finals..

Curry just has more impact on the game, he isn't as hesitant as Paul is either, Curry knows exactly what he wants to do down the court, doesn't dominate the ball as much as Paul yet is better at getting his teammates open looks simply due to the massive amount of attention you must give Curry..

in game 2 of the finals Curry shot like ass yet was still the 2nd most impact player in the game due to the way the defense was guarding him, essentially leaving Iggy/Draymond open on every play

bizil

07-04-2015, 10:27 PM

I think Curry is the better player. The heat Curry can put on a defense is at an epic level. But CP3 is the better ALL AROUND PLAYER at this time. Better defender, better passer, and has alpha dog scoring ability. The pass first PG that can also be a great scorer is a dying breed.

Of the new age PG's (tremendous scorers and known for that first), Curry is the best floor general. Better than Westbrook, Rose, Lillard, etc. The other guys are sort of undersized SG's or combo guards. I don't put Curry in that lane because his floor generalship and passing is on another level from those guys.

I had an old school fan tell me that when Jerry West would swing to PG, he played like Curry in terms of how they saw the game. Curry was more flashy and West was bigger. But I can kind of see the comparison.

In terms of shooting, passing, and handles as a package, Curry is simply the best ever to do it. The only PG's I would take over CP3 are Curry and Westbrook. Wall is really the guy I'm looking at to improve his scoring and defense. And from there become kind of a freak athletic version of Gary Payton.
