After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
...I've finally seen him.
Steph Curry, 1/10th the player MJ was but the best offensive player since MJ.

Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
Steph is a better offensive player than MJ. I'm starting to see it, he is doing this stuff too routinely

Curry may be 1/10th the player MJ was offensively, but he's the best offensive player I've seen since MJ.

Nope, only MJ being the GOAT offensive player did not know how to lose in the finals 6 times for 6 attempts. Curry must show that he can win 6/7 to get his 6 FMVP and then he will be 1/2 the player MJ was due to MJ's superior defense.

And he also did not know how to win a playoffs series without Pippen as shown with his 1-9 record in the playoffs without Pippen.
Curry is way better than Jordan offensively. Accept it and move on if you want to live your last few days happily.

Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
It's funny, being prisoner of the moment. I mean, Jordan dropped 40 and 50 points on a regular bases. More often than Curry. Right? Yet, if Curry score 40 points, since it just happened, then he's the greatest offensive player of all time. If things were in reverse. If Curry played 25 years ago with the Current rules, and Jordan scored a typical 40 points last night with the old rules, then people would not be saying that about Curry.

And MJ was putting up Godly numbers on bad, good and great teams. Gotta go with MJ. Curry does things so effortlessly though that it just shines harder.

Indeed. You need to be at least 1/10th of what MJ was to sit at the table and Curry is allowed to sit at the big boy table, but there is no room at the table for 2/6 losers.

Yeah and scoring in more ways like driving and finishing at rim dunking over players its impressive for how small Curry is and only being average athlete at best while being this dominate.

It's not hard to be dominant when you can't play defense on the 3 point shooters unlike past eras where you can play defense.
Can we imagine MJ in today's game where no ones allowed to touch him? He'd average 60 points in the playoffs and 70 in the finals! :lol

Phil Jackson did say Jordan could average 40 points a game in this era I wouldn't doubt it. Jordan 91-93 is best most compete player I have ever seen play. Curry isn't even half the player prime Jordan was.

You must have missed Duncan. Has 5/6th Jordan's rings and never had a losing record like Jordan did for a third of his career.

The vast majority of his shots are also wide open due to his teammates. To be fair, a lot are deep 3s but still.

Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
.
NBA.com's stats in the post above shows that most of today's 3-pointers (including Curry's) are wide open, which makes sense - today's drive-and-kick offenses require 3-4 players standing behind the line on every play (spacing), so the defense is stretched out and can't make timely rotations most of the time.
Jordan would benefit immensely from this spacing dynamic.. He has the same goat athleticism as Lebron/Westbrook, but they [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12338297&postcount=47]can't shoot[/url], and Jordan could - he had goat efficiency, [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713011&postcount=43]better than Curry's[/url], which puts him in Curry's category as a goat shooter, and gives him a similarly massive advantage over non-shooters Lebron and Westbrook.

Great performance. I don't see how anyone will beat him. Same feeling as when MJ played. :applause:
