So has Curry surpassed Kobe all time?

[Lebronxrings]

Kobe: 1 mvp
Curry: 2 mvps

obviously there is still a disparity for "ringzzzz bro!" But i think this discussion is valid. Whos better?

[ISHGoat]

Kobe has never been even 80% as good as current Curry.

But career-wise? Kobe is still ahead by miles.

[smoovegittar]

Couldn't read. OP on "ignore" -

[Showtime2001]

Kobe: 1 mvp
Curry: 2 mvps

You've convinced me

Curry > Shaq

Because

Shaq: 1 MVP
Curry: 2 MVP's

[Lebronxrings]

Kobe has never been even 80% as good as current Curry.

But career-wise? Kobe is still ahead by miles.
so are you saying 12be is now 13be?

[ISHGoat]

so are you saying 12be is now 13be?


It depends upon what the ranking criteria is. From an impact on the game standpoint, Kobe isn't even top 25. As careers? Kobe is legit top 10

[KingPush]

Peak play? Yes

Career wise no. He needs to win 2 fmvps and i'll put him over Kobe

[SexSymbol]

He hasn't surpassed bron yet, let alone Kobe

[Underrated KD]

He needs more years at elite level. He only got 2 years of elite play. Kobe has more years at elite level.

[Smoke117]

Yes.

[Mr. Jabbar]

they both way above lelayup just using the eye test

[ArbitraryWater]

People forget Curry is already 28 years old.. dude is only 4 years younger than LeBron.

He became so good, really late, which is ****ing incredible, but also makes it hard to tally up more of these elite seasons.. he wont be dropping 35 footers by 32.

[Dragonyeuw]

Steve Nash- 2MVPs
Kobe Bryant- 1 MVP

Yeah because getting old makes it so you can't shoot as far? :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

If anything most player's range increase with old age for multiple reasons

The problem is your a lebron stan, just cause lebron stopped learning how to shoot 3 pointers at 31 years old doesn't mean everyone does that shit, that is only lebron

stop watching other players besides lebron and you wont say half the dumb shit you say now

[bigkingsfan]

Not like it's hard.

[ScalsFan21]

Curry right now is better than Kobe ever was. This is obvious. I put a high emphasis on peak positive impact and less on overall accolades and longevity, so yeah I already rank Curry ahead of the Brick Mamba and it's been that way for awhile.

But in terms of career achievements no way it's even close right now. Curry has been truly elite for 2 years, and ATG for one year. Kobe has 5 rings, 2 FMVP, countless All-Defense first teams (though the merit of several of those is in very real question), and several scoring titles. He's obviously had the better career because one guy is entering his late 20s and the other guy is done.

When it's all said and done, Steph will devour Kobe all-time by any objective measure.

There is so much more going into a shot that you apparently dont understand :oldlol:

Lift and legs, bruh.. SPEED.... elusive changes of pace to create space..

Dirk doesnt have it anymore, you can see it with him first hand.

Dirk is 37 and 7 feet tall

Why are you comparing his wear and tear to a 6'3'' guard when he will be 32 ?

Curry's gameplay fits the game of a better Steve Nash...Curry doesn't rely on first step speed to blow by people..that's not his game. We saw how Steve Nash played at a high level into his mid to late 30's...we will see the same with Steph.

[Cold soul]

Current Curry isn't on peak Kobe level let some has had close to career accomplishments ask me this question in ten years. Kobe was better than Curry ever was deal with it.

[Inferno]

Peak play, I give the edge to Steph. He'll need a lot more years at this level + more rings to match Kobe career-wise, though.

It's so obvious which posters have never played competitive basketball a day in their lives.

Let me know when curry has won 2 FMVP's with no other superstars on his team and when he has 5 championship rings. Until then no comparison :sleeping

Deal with it

[AirBonner]

Curry is definitely ahead of kobe. The one stat I don't see curry passing kobe in is missed fieldgoals

[toprange]

:roll: :roll:

wouldn't expect low basketball iq fans like you to understand the intrecate skills that kobe possesses. I guess if you don't want to use your brain too much you would relate to a curry style game.

No not really saying Curry is superior to Kobe at his best is foolish, but then again fans are prisoners of moment or never did see Kobe during his prime years.

[riseagainst]

All time list goes something like this:


Curry

Kobe





Lebron

[juju151111]

Kobe has never had a offensive season superior to 16 Curry.

[Lebronxrings]

Curry

Kobe





Lebron
can you explain this?

[tmacattack33]

Curry's peak this year has passed Kobe 2006 or Kobe 2009. Even if Curry "only" averages 25 ppg from here on out in the playoffs. So that is pretty much a given.

To pass Kobe career wise, we'd need at least another year or two from Curry at this current GOAT-like level, followed by 2-3 more top 5 level years (ie on a level similar to 2015 Curry or current Westbrook).

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

[Magic 32]

Obvious?

Based on playoffs dominance (which should be the main concern) he is not there yet compared to 2008-2010 Kobe. It it was like that in last years playoffs as well.

BAsed on regular season....sure. But you can say that about anyone not named Jordan.

[Bankaii]

Kobe's best skill is scoring. Curry has already surpassed him in that department.

He needs to get a FMVP vote first.

But he's worlds better than Kobe on offense that's for sure.

Looking back and numbers your right Curry offensively you can argue is better.

Kobe has never had a offensive season superior to 16 Curry.

Has anyone?

Has anyone?

Nope I don't think so not even Wilt.

[DingDengDong]

Curry is currently better than Kobe ever was. He just hasn't had the time to pass Kobe in accolades, and who knows if his prime lasts long enough to do so with all of his injuries.

I think majority here weren't even born when Kobe started in NBA in 1996.

[Mr Feeny]

Kobe has never been even 80% as good as current Curry.

But career-wise? Kobe is still ahead by miles.

Yeah. Although most would have Curry ahead of Kobe should he lead the Warriors to a second straight title as lead dog. Hopefully he'll put up many historic performances en route to said title:banana:

[Straight_Ballin]

We know your weren't. Most folks on here were though, but just weren't impressed. They see a difference in class between what Curry is and what Kobe was :(

[JebronLames]

Huge Kobe stan here, but Curry's second MVP puts him at #12 all time, bumping kobe to 13.

[WolfGang]

Not a big Kobe fan but I'm not going to sit here in my momma's basement and let people just downgrade him like this. Curry is definitely a better shooter but what about over all game. Kobe could cross you up, was VERY athletic, fast and clutch. Not to mention he could lock down positions 1-4 if he tried. Kobe was more athletic than D wade in his prime.

What if Primebe played for this Warriors team? Would they not win a bunch of championships?

[ImKobe]

Curry tied Steve Nash for MVPs

only need 4 more rings and at least 2 FMVPs to tie Kobe in that regard

Kobe same age had better Playoff runs and more titles

Curry benefits from not having to play defense on a team that has elite defenders at every other position (Klay, Iggy, Green, Bogut), Kobe earned his first 3 rings on both ends of the court.

[Im Still Ballin]

Without QUESTION.

I recently ran a poll at my local church, that distinctively held in favor of Stephen Curry over Kobe Bryan!

[toprange]

Huge Kobe stan here, but Curry's second MVP puts him at #12 all time, bumping kobe to 13.
And if Curry loses in the finals it will put him #3 All time, bumping lebron to #2. Todays fans logic :banghead:

[ArbitraryWater]

Which Kobe version is better than 2016 Curry, tell me... the guy who just became the first unanimous MVP, ever... :facepalm

[Disaprine]

not really, curry needs to have at least a decade of greatness before you can compare him to kirby and bran. he definitely has a good chance to do it. :applause:

[riseagainst]

Okay so from judging by the thread responses and common sense, Curry has officially surpassed Kobe.


Definitely. He first surpassed Lebron last year, this year he surpassed Kobe.

[Born Sinner]

Definitely. He first surpassed Lebron last year, this year he surpassed Kobe.

No, he wasn't more athletic than prime D Wade. Athleticism isn't just jumping high... Wade was lighting quick and fast. He had better body control. Wade's athleticism>>Kobe's and it's not that close either.

Kobe's vertical might have been just a little higher than Wade.(I doubt it) Wade beats him pretty much in ever other area.

[toprange]

Definitely. He first surpassed Lebron last year, this year he surpassed Kobe.
its very easy to surpass lebron but kobe?? :rant
Are we not going to make it a little tough to get on the list?
