Curry is definitely ahead of Kobe all time..

[Mr Feeny]

After that unanimous mvp he's now surely ahead of Kobe and leaving him in dust.

If he pulls off what seems to be inevitable (a second straight title as lead dog),
He'll be one of only TWO players in the last 30 years to win b2b mvps and titles, the other being lebron james.


:applause: to Curry for joining the multiple mvps club.
Hopefully another title and another mvp next year :rockon:

[Born Sinner]

Whens all said and done, he will be the goat by the end of this year.

[riseagainst]

he's ahead of like every player that ever played except maybe 5.

he's arguably top 5 already. If GS wins it all this year he's arguably the GOAT, no trolling.

[JohnMax]

Kobe haters will switch from Lebron to Curry stans once he has the inside track of surpassing Kobe.

[Mr Feeny]

Maybe this is slightly pushing it but I don't think it's insane saying he's in the top bracket - if only for his peak level of play.
Were they to 3peat by winning it all this year and doing it again next year, I wouldn't argue against what you said. He'd be in the top 3-5 players who have ever played:bowdown:

[Im Still Ballin]

I agree!

Kobe has never had a championship year where he is unanimously the best in the world!

[Magic 32]

I agree!

Kobe has never had a championship year where he is unanimously the best in the world!

Who cares?


WHy is that combination important?

Kobe won championships. Kobe was the best player at one point (06-08).

Getting both is just luck (or in Lebron's case calculated collusion).

[MMM]

Kobe just wasn't able to put everything together and dominate the way Curry is now and if Curry stretch continues dynastically,
then I don't see how Kobe can measure up to him.

Yes, Kobe did put it all together certain years in his career especially on defense I'll take 03 Kobe at his athletic peak along defensively over many guards in NBA history including Curry. I'm not sure why some are ignoring other side of the court which Jordan and Kobe kill Curry no matter how great he is offensively and is unlimited range.

[MMM]

5 > 2.

do u really see anyone stopin Curry the next few years???

Curry is in his prime and there isn't really anyone who is challenging him or his team at full health

[TheMarkMadsen]

If Curry keeps playing like this he'll be ahead of everybody all time

but glad to know when somebody is playing at a GOAT level, Kobe is the guy you compare them to :lol :lol

Well injuries could happen which Curry has been known for also FA the Warriors might lose few key players still be stacked. You should know anything can happen in NBA at any time many including myself thought Lakers would win 5 or 6 titles with Kobe and Shaq and we all know how that turned out.

all time rankings are accolades driven and Curry is fortunate that he'll accumulate an outstanding resume over the next few years. Accolades aren't everything but the gap between the 2 mega stars is not large enough to ignore what Curry might achieve over the next few years. However, Curry being able to be the clear cut mega star of the league is something that Kobe never match and whether that is because today's league is water down or not is another discussion.

Kobe was the clear mega star of the league from 06-08. Seriously back then all you heard about was Kobe/ whoever the top team was.

Kobe was best player of his decade (2000's) you had way better superstars in their prime like Shaq, Duncan, Dirk, KG, Wade, Lebron, compared to this era Durant, Kawai, Westbrook, Curry, Davis, and older Lebron, not as good talent overall. The gap is large between Kobe and Curry and having late prime hurts him somewhat compared dominating at younger age which Kobe did and was all-time great close to two decades and won championships with two completely different cast of players that matters. Curry is amazing but I think people are jumping the gun way too fast ask me this question in five years right now way too soon to predict.

[MMM]

You still had Duncan who won a title in 07
Wade as an emerging star win it all in 06
Dirk win MVP in 07 leading his team to 67 wins

Relatively speaking I think there is a difference and the unanimous MVP sort of speaks to that. While there is still Durant's, an older Bron, Kawai, there does seem to be a gap between those names and the ones i mentioned earlier.

Kobe was face of his own era and you can make the case was the best player. Curry has only had one historic season 16 and great one last year that's it.

[TheMarkMadsen]

[QUOTE]And listen: Guys were paying attention. Guys around the league were paying very close attention to Kobe that season. Any time you

what does any of that have to do with who was the biggest mega star/ face of the nba?

Dunan wasn't, 3rd year Wade wasn't, Dirk certainly wasn't

Spurs won the title in 14, Mavs won in 11, KD won in MVP in 14 but that doesn't mean Lebron still wasn't the most talked about player and biggest star in the league

I agree but don't insult Curry by putting Bran's name in the same sentence as him. Curry is a transcendent dominant player. Bran and Kobe are nothing compared to him. Only Jordan deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Curry.

Well some of the above speaks to my point. I don't disagree that Kobe could be argued as the best player of his decade but i think there is an equal argument/compelling argument that can be made for Shaq,Duncan, etc. While I don't see an argument for the stars in Curry's era measuring up to him.

Shaq and Duncan sure of course. Well Curry era compared to 00's is watered down and inferior talent wise overall. I personally don't think Curry would be well beyond and ahead of those all-time greats in pervious era. I'll take Shaq at his peak 00 and 03 Duncan over Curry.

well it obvious that were talking about two different things. I'll take the fault in that because I wasn't clear in describing what I'm talking about. I wasn't comparing them as mega stars or as the face of the league but comparing their stretch as "THE top player in the game". Curry stretch as the best player the game has to offer is potentially more dominating than Kobe did in 06-08. Again due to circumstances that will hurt Kobe in the all time ranking but if we are only evaluating the two in terms of skill then I think Kobe fares a lot better. I would definitely not be upset with people think that Kobe was the more talented player but IF the accolades start to favour Curry than it will be hard for some to accept that argument. Whether the league is watered down or not will also become part of the discussion as always.

That is wrong. Michael Jordan did it in 91-92.

Yeah its nice that anytime Curry goes bananas, he is immediately compared to a retired Kobe Bryant over any of the other so-called stars in the league today. Guess there aren't any so we keep comparing Curry to MJ and Kobe. Haha.

[Dray n Klay]

Yup, the second he got more than 1 MVP he surpassed Kobe

[raprap]

It's no longer a debate if he wins the chip this year(which is almost inevitable)

Kobe is considered by most to be a top 10 player all-time. He was an elite player for over a decade. Curry has been elite for 2 seasons. Even if the Warriors win a title this year, Curry's overall body of work would still be well behind Kobe's. Kobe will still have 3 more titles, at least 1 more FMVP, and FAR more all-star, all-NBA, and all-defense selections. Resume-wise, it isn't close.

No, not at all. Most of the biggest sport publications do not put him top 10. And the biggest bball forum on the net does not either (and that site bans idiot stans who are always biased and posting BS).

[stalkerforlife]

The Kobe/Curry family doesn't care.

We're fans of both.

OP and his agenda are SHOOK.

You are right....but in reality, we know curry isn't ahead of kobe.....maybe never will be....but hes good.....people only remember what happens now...and not what kobe did before......

They're ignoring it because it doesn't validate these stupid threads. Curry is great but slowly becoming one of the more overrated stars of his era.

[Aiolos]

You all are some dumb mf's seriously.

Curry's success is at the mercy of how stacked his team is. You think they will be holding this squad for like 5 years or something???

Ni&&as are going to wanna get paid.

Give Curry a garbage team and I dont even think he makes it to the playoffs when 90% of his play is just chucking up threes.

[TheMarkMadsen]

No, not at all. Most of the biggest sport publications do not put him top 10. And the biggest bball forum on the net does not either (and that site bans idiot stans who are always biased and posting BS).


Those same publications ranked Shaq #9 and #15

For an average ranking of #12, guess Shaq isn't as good as we thought.

All those dudes are already paid except for Curry, who gets like 10 mil a year lol

They'll eventually lose Barnes, possibly Iggy due to age and Bogut, but at this point golden state should have no problem recruiting mid tier free agents to fill those spots
