2s count as 2s and 3s count as 3s. No make it take it. Alternate possessions. 10 minute game. I think Curry could actually win. MJ would score on every possession but it would be mostly 2s. If Curry is on fire from 3 like he has been these last few games Curry would beat him.
With 2's and 3's it would be close
If it was 1's and 2's Curry would win for sure
why you always lying?
why you always lyling?
o my god
stop fking lying

Nobody would beat Curry under those circumstances.
Nah, Curry is the greatest shooter to ever play, but he's not winning versus Jordan 1 on 1. Jordan's skill set is perfect for 1 on 1.
Doubt Curry would even beat peak Kobe 1 on 1. Peak Kobe would probably demolish Curry 1 on 1.
Curry is on another level in team basketball. However, his skill set wouldn't translate well versus the legendary guards like peak Jordan, peak Kobe, peak Wade, etc...
Peak Wade would murder Curry.
So, no, he would not beat Jordan 1 on 1. Jordan would win 10 out of 10 times.
MJ would post him up every time
But 1-on-1 is not basketball. In a game of basketball, Curry can come off screens like nobody else, can affect the defense just by standing 30 feet away from the basket and forcing a defender to stand there with him, and can use his great passing vision.

You don't even know how strong MJ individual defensively. Curry wouldn't even able to get his rhythm on in front of him.
on current pace Curry will retire as GOAT but i will always give Jordan will beat him 1-on-1 easily by posting him up. Durant, LeBron, Jordan etc will easily post up Curry.
Stopping someone from shooting a 3 is a lot easier in 1-on-1.
[QUOTE=Rose'sACL]on current pace Curry will retire as GOAT [/QUOTE]
He has to do this for 4 more seasons.
And he has to win at least 5 MVP's, 5 FMVP's and 6 championship.
MJ's perfection can be stifling.
And Curry has not shown to be a consistent playoff performer.
He looked very human against the Grizz and Cavs last year.
Jordan would ruin him.
Guys like Durant and Blake Griffin would ruin both him and Curry.
Those long, big, athletic 3's and 4's dominate 1 on 1's. Prime Garnett would have destroyed most all time greats in 1 on 1's but he has never remotely come close to being that go to scorer on a team.
Lol Jordan won DPOY as a guard. Also, is there a ref and do they allow hand checking and physical defense? If they do, then Jordan win every time because Curry is going to have a hard time getting his shot off and doesn't have the speed to blow by prime Jordan. Jordan would destroy Curry 1 vs 1 :lol .

They're both amazing offensively....
It'd basically be lost to the worst defender.
And we all know who that is....
MJ would actually wipe the floor with Curry tbh
Lettuce be real here,
Prime Oscar would beat Curry 1 on 1. So would have Sidney Moncrief for that matter.
Didn't a guy by the name of Matthew Dellavedova make Curry look human in the Finals?
0% chance of beating Jordan 1 on 1.
Curry wouldnt have a chance. MJ is taller, faster, smarter, meaner and can play the defense. The only thing their game is comparably good is offense.
There's been more sense in this thread than I thought there'd be straight up
Jordan takes it quite easily. That post up back down to turn around fade away from mid range over the top of curry is going to demoralize him. Exact same results with Kobe.
If Curry chucks 10 3s from 32 feet and makes 7 out of 10 while Jordan makes 10/10 2s Curry wins 21 to 20.

why would he fade away? he could legit just back down Curry and dunk every time.

if that's the case of course Curry wins easily. this is assuming actual foul rules, not streetball.
jordan can back him down all he wants or do whatever and no curry isn't stopping him so what? it doesn't matter jordan wasn't good at 3s.
3-2

In what universe AMC shoots 100% 3PT, with GOAT perimeter defender on him, no less? While MJ dunking every attempt on Curry can actually get to (or near) 100% FG.
Curry is getting lucky. Hes not actually this good. All luck
[QUOTE=Harison]In what universe AMC shoots 100% 3PT, with GOAT perimeter defender on him, no less? While MJ dunking every attempt on Curry can actually get to (or near) 100% FG.[/QUOTE]
Curry would have to chuck long 3s from 30 feet out. I think he can go 7/10 from 30 feet while MJ goes 10/10 on 2s. If MJ plays tight defense 30 feet away then Curry can blow by him for a layup. They can exchange 2s if that is the way MJ wants to play. When there is 2 minutes left in the game Curry can decide to start chucking some from half court if MJ plays tight defense from half court Curry can just blow by him and pull up for some regular 3s.
Curry is making 41.1% of his threes right now with his man 2-4 feet away. He would need 18 attempts against MJ to win at that rate. MJ only needs 11 shots to beat Curry if he just backs him down every time.
So no, Curry isn't going to beat him raining threes.
Please stop this JOrdan/Curry comparison. Jesus Christ guys, come on. Jordan would destroy Curry 1 vs. 1 and as a team player. Curry spams regular season 3's, but gets shut down in the finals and gets 0 fmvp votes. LeBron destroyed Curry so badly he wound up with more votes on the losing team.
Jordan was dominant on both ends, for almost his whole career. Curry has had two great regular seasons, and only one offensively that compares with Jordan. (mainly because Curry has a team surrounded by players that perfectly fit his style)
You buffoons live in the moment. Curry routinely gets dominated by KD/LeBron... and Jordan would destroy him too
Warriors might be the best team ever, but Curry isn't close to being the best player ever. **** you idiots.

Yeah, this. Curry would struggle to create enough space with a long, quick and athletic defender on him, and no screens to help free him up.
And so the myth of Jordan being some sort of all time great defender continues I see:lol . It's easy to look decent on D when you got the 2 best defenders of that era backing you up.
People who create these kinds of threads have absolutely no idea that 1 v 1 is very different than team basketball. They also very obviously never watched prime Jordan to even fathom that current Curry could give prime Jordan a challenge :facepalm
You don't even have to go back that far, as others here posted, prime Kobe, Wade and Durant would thrash him. Hell, prime LeBron would destroy him. These guy are strong, bigger and Curry isn't quick enough to get past them. Curry would have to shoot contested 3s. And imagine Stephan in an island against Bron :eek:
Yeah, Curry is such a great shooter that he'd hit some awesome shots but all Bron would have to do is post him up or get a head of steam and roll Curry like a 12 year old playing an adult :lol
Curry is on a GOAT shooting streak but his game is made for team basketball (absolutely nothing wrong with that, it is a team game), he moves without the ball, he creates for his teammates, he's sneaky quick and can get to the hoop if his opponant overplays him but in a 1 v 1 against the GOAT players mentioned, he's getting brutally fisted, dry and hard :roll:
[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]why would he fade away? he could legit just back down Curry and dunk every time.[/QUOTE]
Because he's not shaq and his turn around on smaller players was automatic, did you even watch Jordan? He's more likely to post up and baseline spin to dunk, not back down and dunk over him.
[QUOTE=La Frescobaldi]and he's still losing to curry.[/QUOTE]
You're an idiot.
This isn't a game of HORSE, DPOY Jordan is gonna be on Curry's grill 30 ft out. Curry isn't quick enough nor atrong or big enough to get past Jordan to the hole. Curry is gonna have to launch contested 3s with Jordan all up on his face. Chances are that Jordan will block more of the shots Curry chucks than he makes :facepalm
Then when Jordan has the ball, he can back Curry all the way to the hole and dunk on every possession.
It's no contest, in a team game, Curry could get his shot off moving off the ball and moving through screens, in 1 v 1, it's way different.
Jordan would beat him every time, easily too.

But I agree mj would win because he's much quicker and could lock curry down.

Jordan won DPOY when Pip was a rookie and way before he became his Robin. Rodman wasn't a teammate either until almost a decade later you blithering idiot.

We're talking about 1 v 1 though.
Jason Terry 1 v 1 against Bron has zero chance at beating him.
Kawhi has a better chance but prime LBJ >>> any version of KL so far. Prime Bron still beats Leonard in a 1 v 1 but he'd challenge him more than Curry or Terry, obviously.

feelings.... nothing more than..... [I]feelings[/I].....
There's no guard in the history of the NBA that could beat Jordan 1 on 1.
Peak Kobe Bryant would have the best chance, but even he would lose to Jordan. It would be close though.
Curry has 0% chance vs peak Jordan in a 1 on 1. This thread comical.
Like the other guy said, people seem to forget that Jordan's defense was also on another level. He's one of the best defensive guards of all time.
As I said earlier, Jordan's skill set is perfect for 1 on 1. Curry wouldn't know what hit him.
Man... so many people in this thread have already stated that, and why, Jordan would ruin Curry.
I don't want to discount what Curry is doing, but he could NOT do this on any other team. I'm not, at all, saying he's a product of the system; the dude is historically good and talented. But if he was on any team other than the Warriors or Spurs, he'd be just another star.
Curry is, straight up, a team basketball player. Perfect era, perfect team for him to shine. He would get beat by any all time great guard/wing. Pippen, Jordan, West, Wade, Kobe, Oscar, Magic, Isiah, Sid... they'd all beat him.
Curry needs separation, and without teammates setting picks to worry about, plus no teammates to whom Curry can pass, or help out if Curry's man beats him? Come on now.
