How good has this month been in comparison to all the greats guys? Is it top 10, because he has unreal shooting percentages :biggums:

[FreezingTsmoove]

I got hard reading those numbers

[keep-itreal]

fluke. He will drop off around January

[warriorfan]

Goat

[DMAVS41]

Truly insane.

I thought he'd cool off by now...

[sammichoffate]

I got hard reading those numbersHas 60% shooting from a guard ever even been done? It's incomprehensible to me :lol

[WayOfWade]

Who wouldn't?

[Fallen Angel]

Warrior fan since 2009

[kamil]

He's been the face of the NBA for a little over a year now. Those numbers are part of that reason.

[AngelEyes]

Has 60% shooting from a guard ever even been done? It's incomprehensible to me :lol

Yeah, wow if only it weren't made up and he wasn't actually shooting 51%... that would be even cooler.

:bowdown:

Dude managed to improve from last season and he's just playing (mostly based off of scoring/shooting and impact towards winning) at a ridiculous level, as of right now... His ball-handling has been slacking though, dude needs to up them assists a bit if possible but - definitely most importantly - lower them TO's, needs to take better care of the ball while keeping them passes sharp.

Like I've said, the shooting/scoring has been simply unreal, he's rebounding very well for his position, getting a whole lot of steals, showing terrific impact on the court, leading the team with the best start in NBA history :applause:

Oh, and OP, it usually goes FG%/3P%/FT%... So it should be 51% (which is his FG%) there instead of 60% (which is his 2P%)... If he was shooting 60% from the field, shit, I would've been simply lost for words...

[sammichoffate]

His PER and TS% for the month destroy current records set by Wilt and Cedric Maxwell:

51 is still unheard for a guard in this era especially at this volume. A level all his own. Plus, that TS% is just as retarded

[PsychoBe]

no excuses

[SHAQisGOAT]

^Ty, stats hurt my eyes sometimes :lol :cheers:

No problem...

60% would've been unreal man... Considering how much he's scoring and how many 3's he's taking...

60% would've been unreal man... Considering how much he's scoring and how many 3's he's taking...If it was 60%, he probably would kick the damn ball and it would go in at that point :oldlol:

:bowdown:

Comparing 17 games to a full season, doe. I'm guessing Wilt and other greats had pretty amazing months as well.

[Marchesk]

West over 66 straight playoff games was pretty good:

31.2 ppg, 6.8 apg, 4.8 rpg, around 49% shooting and 81% FT.

And there's Jordan's career playoff averages.

[Suguru101]

This shit is friggin' awesome :applause:

Still though, didn't Durant have a better month to start the season?

[OldSchoolBBall]

Jordan, first half of the 1989 season (40 games): 35.1 pts/8.1 reb/6.6 ast/3.3 stl/55% FG/62% TS

[Town's Town]

Unanimous MVP so far, and he doesn't even need to play 4th quarters anymore.

Dude is making LeBron look second-tier. Crazy. I would say Curry is the best player in the world at the moment, but lets be honest, he's been that since winning a title.

[3ball]

And just think - if you take the 3-point line away, he's just a low-efficiency, 27 ppg, short gunner....

Without the 3-point line, he's World B Free... Today's spaced-out, 3-point friendly era is the only era where he'd be a top 5 player.

three names are connected to MJs legacy: Scottie Pippen (top 35 all time), Denis Rodman (one of the best defense player ever, top 35-40 all time) and goat coach.

Curry hasn't played any minutes in the fourth quarter the last four games. He's getting rest.

Also, MJ was the FAR better shooter inside 20 feet:


.........................MJ 1997 (http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/893/stats/shooting/?Season=1996-97&SeasonType=Regular%20Season)...................... ..Curry 2015 (s.nba.com/player/#!/201939/stats/shooting/?Season=2014-15&SeasonType=Regular%20Season) (<-- link to data)

5-9 ft.............. 49.2%, 126 fga................ 40.3%, 72 fga

10-14 ft.......... 51.5%, 466 fga................ 52.9%, 85 fga

15-19 ft.......... 49.5%, 594 fga................ 43.9%, 132 fga

From basketball-reference.com:



"In a later chapter of Basketball on Paper, Oliver emphasized that Offensive Ratings shouldn't be viewed in a vacuum. Introducing a concept he called "Skill Curves", he acknowledged that a player's ORtg needed to be judged in conjunction with his Usage Rate, a measure of how big a role the player fills in his team's offense. The bigger the role, the more difficult it is to maintain a high ORtg; the smaller the role, the easier it is to be highly efficient. Because of this, Oliver stressed that a player's ORtg should primarily be compared to those of other players in a similar role."


Curry's usage is now 33%, which is equal with MJ's career usage - so we can accurately compare their ORtg (points-per-possession), which is the only true efficiency measure:

Jordan Jan 1988 (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01/gamelog/1988/#210-224-sum:pgl_basic): 34.3 ppg.. 5.7 rpg.. 7.1 apg.. 3.9 spg.. 2.2 bpg.. 58.9 fg.. 64.8 ts.. 132 ortg
Curry. Nov 2016: 31.9 ppg.. 5.1 rpg.. 6.1 apg.. 2.6 spg.. 0.2 bpg.. 51.5 fg.. 69.1 ts.. 126 ortg


As you can see, MJ is easily more efficient, while being ahead in virtually every other category, in addition to being DPOY - Curry is a small fraction of the player MJ was..

Oh, and since MJ was capable of 37 ppg on all two's, he would be the greatest in ANY era, not just in eras that had a 3-point line.
