    Like Kobe said, the more elite you are, the less of an impact the old rules will have on your offensive game. But if you're just a good perimeter player, then the impact would be much bigger.

    He'd get smothered. That ankle wouldn't be save. Curry dribbling into the paint with Laimbeer, Mahorn and Rodman waiting for him? I'm not sure I'd even watch it.

    While he would have an evolution advantage, he would lose a lot of his strengths due to illegal defense rules, and not seeing the zones and shaded lanes, which frees up shooters today.

    Curry = bigger, stronger, faster, overall more athletic than past perimeter players.

    Erm...probably the best PG depending the year? Well, at least tip tier.

    I doubt he'll be MVP or top 3 MVP, since competition back then was a bit tougher for individual awards, but it depends on his team winning or not.

    Overall, it'll probably just be the same. Probably better since guys in the 80s didn't really defend the 3pt shot as much. You really have to be good to for them to be up on you. If Curry had the same style now and played back then, then he would've either revolutionize the game or the coach would tell him to quit it and go for the 2pt jumpshot.

    The 90s would've been different.

    Oh I see. 90s players had weaker ankles. They can't compete with his size I guess.

    Curry wouldn't be as effective against bigger more physical defenses with hand checking I dont think he would translate all that well.

    Probably more points on even more 3 point attempts.

    Also the greatest shooter in the history of the game, combined with elite ball handling, passing, and court vision.

    There has never been a player like Steph Curry.
