Yes, more dominant than MJ. And yes, more dominant than prime Shaq. Steph Curry is a different animal.

You stop him by guarding him. The Spurs did it in 2013 and sent him home. The Clippers did it in 2014 and sent him home in the first round of the playoffs. The guy has only won like 5 or 6 playoff series in his career, so it's not like he's that dominant in terms of winning in the playoffs.

Those were before he became the best in the league and you know it.
Also before Kerr.

Green will block his 3's again and take his soul like he did in the regular season. We will have our full squad this time for every game. Duncan, Diaw, etc. It's a WRAP. I can't wait to crush the little boy and his team so all these frauds disappear again for the rest of the off-season. #6 coming right up. Believe it.

lol at the hype after one game
mid-way he was 5/15 with 0-7 from three, last year's Finals against the Cavs his stats weren't anything special.
He went off on one of the worst defensive PGs in the game (Lillard) late in the 4th and OT after struggling with his shot...great ending but the "GOAT" hype is just ridiculous.

Also, hand-checking was MOST prevalent and effective at impeding the act of driving, which is specifically illegal in today's game (the gif below is a foul in today's game):

And Jordan played more minutes and games too. PER MIN efficiency dun tell the whole thing cuz
Joradn 10, Curry 9.5 at best
Curry is more efficient on a per SHOT basis, but Jordan was more efficient on a per POSSESSION basis (ortg), which is more important.
Jordan's higher per possession efficiency was due primarily to lower turnovers, but also because his superior midrange (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713011&postcount=43) efficiency partially offset Curry's 3-point efficiency.
http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/7-30-2015/jkrR_v.gif
Curry spaces the floor
Jordan's spaces the floor more - when a dangerous rim attacker is on the floor, ALL defenders must cheat off their man (see Isiah Thomas above), which leaves 3-point shooters and other teammates more open than otherwise.. This is basketball 101.
Otoh, 3-point shooters only cause a single defender to hug them on the perimeter, which doesn't do shit BY ITSELF - it takes the entire Warrior team shooting 3-pointers TOGETHER to provide floor-spacing.
Essentially, 3-point shooters need teammates to help them space the floor, whereas a single rim attacker frees up teammates for open shots all by themselves, by forcing the entire defense to cheat off their man.

question is, how many seasons can he maintain that high level of shooting? Jordan was the scoring champ for 10 seasons and averages 30 ppg for his career, this was the first year Curry averaged 30

Jordan was the scoring champ for 10 seasons and averages 30 ppg for his career, this was the first year Curry averaged 30
Agreed.. Also, Jordan didn't have teammates spreading the floor for him either - teams only attempted 5 threes per game when Jordan won his first ring in 1991, compared to 25 attempts per game for today's teams.
So today's player benefits from teammates that space the floor and cause defenders to cover more ground - three-point shooters benefit the most from scrambling defenders, which is why 80% of today's 3-pointers (including Curry's) are "open" or "very open", as described on NBA.com's stats page (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12360926&postcount=37).
Otoh, Jordan achieved his stats WITHOUT teammates spreading the floor.. In today's spaced-out game, his stats would explode because he has the same (better) athleticism as Lebron/Westbrook, but they can't shoot (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12338297&postcount=47), and Jordan could - he had goat midrange efficiency, much better than Curry's (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713011&postcount=43), which puts him in Curry's category as a goat shooter, and gives him a similarly massive advantage over non-shooters Lebron and Westbrook.

Jordan was involved in MORE possessions for his team (usage), while producing more per-possession (ORtg) - he simply DID MORE:
1991 vs. 2016:
JORDAN REG SEASON:. 32.9% Usage.. 125 ORtg
CURRY4 REG SEASON:4 32.6% Usage.. 125 ORtg
Career
JORDAN REG SEASON:. 33.3% Usage.. 118 ORtg
CURRY4 REG SEASON:4 26.9% Usage.. 117 ORtg
JORDAN PLAYOFFS:. 35.6% Usage.. 118 ORtg
CURRY4 PLAYOFFS:4 28.2% Usage.. 115 ORtg
Jordan gave his team MORE (possessions) of a GOOD THING (per possession efficiency)
Curry is more efficient on a per SHOT basis, but Jordan was more efficient on a per POSSESSION basis (ortg), which is more important.
Jordan's higher per possession efficiency was due primarily to lower turnovers, but also because his superior midrange (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713011&postcount=43) efficiency partially offset Curry's 3-point efficiency.
Jordan's spaces the floor more - when a dangerous rim attacker is on the floor, ALL defenders must cheat off their man (see Isiah Thomas above), which leaves 3-point shooters and other teammates more open than otherwise.. This is basketball 101.
Otoh, 3-point shooters only cause a single defender to hug them on the perimeter, which doesn't do shit BY ITSELF - it takes the entire Warrior team shooting 3-pointers TOGETHER to provide floor-spacing.
Essentially, 3-point shooters need teammates to help them space the floor, whereas a single rim attacker frees up teammates for open shots all by themselves, by forcing the entire defense to cheat off their man.

:oldlol:
Curry is going to overtake MJ for the most dominant ever title.
Deal with it.
