[Inferno]

Nah

[Wiltside]

He has a case for talent, but a LONG way to go regarding career achievements.

[Spaulding]

Did you run out of donations?

[Kingwillball]

Another 5+ years of similar seasons and performance than we can talk..

[warriorfan]

The peak we have seen so far is better than any of Magic Johnson's years

Better than any of Larry Bird's

And extremely close to Jordan

At the end of this season Steph Curry will be a top 10 all time player

The question is if you can live with it

You are an idiot you and Warriorfan I don't know who's worse :facepalm

How does his peak compare to prime Kobe? Whos the better player?

[Papaya Petee]

I laugh so hard everytime someone tries to say he has the greatest peak

We just watched Durant average 32\7\6
LeBron average 30\9\7, 31\7\7, 28\7\7, 27\8\7
Wade average 30\8\5\2\1
Kobe average 35\5\5 and 31\6\5 and 30\7\6

All while being much better defensive players
I'm not even going to get into Shaq in 2000, Jordan in 1991, Hakeem, Duncan, etc.

30\6\5 is GOAT peak now?

curry is doing it way more efficiently in way less minutes played

if you can't grasp that then I dont know what to tell you

[QuebecBaller]

OP probably started watching the NBA 5 years ago, so for him, all time means since 2011

LeBron just ****ing averaged 27\8\7\2\1 on 56.5% FG and 40.6% 3PT 3 years ago while leading his team to a title, FMVP, MVP, 66-16 record, 27 straight wins, while being 5X the defensive player Curry is.

3 ****ing years ago, you got Alzheimer?

Curry hasn't won shit yet. Regular season isn't even over. You saying retarded shit like this only makes you look stupid. Now STFU.

All of those guys except Durant were all-NBA level defenders

[Papaya Petee]

It's mind blowing how stupid this is.
LeBron in 2012 and 2013 was the MVP, FMVP, Champion, All-NBA 1st and All-NBA 1st Defense. Both years. Both years he shot 53.1% FG and 56.5% FG.

So far Curry has a 0-11 FMVP appeareance, and a season that's barely half way through, and this dumbass is talking about greatest peak.

LeBron LITERALLY did this 3 years ago, and it was better than Curry. Once we compare their defensive impacts and playoff domination LeBron had, it's not even close.

Minutes played homie

per 100 possessions

'16 curry: 42 / 9 / 8 / 68% TS
'13 lebron: 37 / 10 / 10 / 56% TS

ask anyone in the basketball community what is the better season :lol

Defensive impact?
LeBron dominating in the post season winning a Finals MVP where Curry is half way through the season?
Curry hasn't played a single game in the post season yet.

You can say this shit all you want :roll: Curry hasn't done anything yet.

Edit: I brought up the most recent peak better than Curry's too :roll: I don't even have to mention Shaq or Jordan.

[Marchesk]

Efficiency isn't the only thing that matters. Dantley and Barkley were also highly efficient offensive machines in their primes, but they don't rank as the greatest all-time peaks.

When we're talking about peak play, then we have to take into account things like rebounding and defense.

And if you're talking about impact per minute, then there are other stats, such as points per minute. And Wilt in 61/62 averaged over 1 per minute.

Lebron is a lousy defender.

LeBron hasn't had a large impact defensively since 2009 and 2010

http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/year/2014/sort/RPM

LeBron has a DRPM of 0.43 in 2014. ESPN doesn't have the numbers for 2013 but it's safe to say that LeBron didn't drop from a huge defensive factor in 2013 to being barley above negative defensive impact in 2014.

http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/sort/RPM

Steph Curry has a DRPM of 1.69. This is verified though the eye test where Curry has brought it on defense this year. He has very active hands and has some of the most steals in the league while never gambling in the lanes to get them, he just rips the opposing player and usually starts a fast break for free points. He is an excellent defensive rebounder for his position as well and almost never has "harden moments" where he completely leaves his man.

LeBron has a bunch of lazy rotations but you watch that one chase down block on ESPN highlights and think that is what happened the whole game...

[Smoke117]

Lebron is a lousy defender.

He's lazy now...but he was very good in 2013.

[dubeta]

Lol, if LeBron had Curry's current season it would clearly be one of his worst seasons ever


Let's keep things in perspective

[jongib369]

Any names with an * next to it is adjusted for assists that led to a 3 per game.

PRF= Points+points from assists.

None of the 'totals include FGA or FG%


*LeBron 10 PRF-49.6 FG% .503 (20.1 FGA)
Blocks- 1
Steals-1.6
Rebounds- 7.3
Free throws attempted-10.2
Free Throws made- 7.8


(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data.)
Total 1= 77.5
Total 2=67.3
Total 3= 59.5


*Curry 16 per 36 PRF-48.2 FG% .506 (19.3 FGA)
Blocks- 0.2
Steals-2.3
Rebounds- 5.6
Free throws attempted-5.9
Free Throws made- 5.4


**Per 36**
(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data. None of the 'totals include FGA or FG%)
Total 1=67.6
Total 2=61.7
Total 3= 56.3


Any names with an * next to it is adjusted for assists that led to a 3 per game.

*SHAQ 00 PRF- 38.11 FG% .574 (21.1 FGA)
Blocks- 3
Steals-0.5
Rebounds- 13.6
Fouled-10.4
Free Throws made- 5.5

(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data.)
Total 1= 71.11
Total 2=60.71
Total 3=55.21

*Jordan 97 PRF-39.24-- FG%.486 (23.1 FGA)
Blocks- 0.5
Steals-1.7
Rebounds-5.9
Fouled-7
Free Throws made-5.9

(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data.
Total 1=60.24
Total 2=53.24
Total 3=47.34

Jordan 89 PRF- 48.5-- FG% .538 (24.0 FGA)
Blocks- 0.8
Steals-2.9
Rebounds-8
Fouled-9.8
Free Throws made-8.3

(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data.)
Total 1=78.3
Total 2=68.5
Total 3=60.2

Wilt 67 PRF- 41.5-- FG% .683 (14.2 FGA)
Blocks- NA
Steals-NA
Rebounds-24.2
Fouled-10.8
Free Throws made-4.8

(Total 1 all. Total 2 without FTA. Total 3 without any free throw data.)
Total 1=81.3
Total 2=70.5
Total 3=65.7

Wilts totals if he maxed out at Denis Rodmans rebounds in 97 16.1/Dennis max 18.7

Total 1=73.2/75.8
Total 2= 62.4/65
Total 3= 57.6/60.2

Should FG% be added into the calculation somehow? Note Wilt in 67 Would technically be further ahead if Blocks/Steals Data was available, even with adjusted stats for everything but Points/Assists. He would get his 14.2 Attempts, and assist rules of the time might of been a natural adjustment for the higher pace.

89 MJ :bowdown:

He was probably his best in 91, but we know stats can only tell so much. Still interesting IMO


Just updated with FGA since I thought that might be a tad relevant, but like FG% I did NOT put that into the totals

ORB/TRB are more important than steals/Blocks IMO, btw
