Is Curry becoming the most overrated player?

[outbreak]

Real talk: Curry is one of the most amazing players the league has ever seen this season.

[SouBeachTalents]

Let's look at some facts:

1) Curry isn't an elite defensive player (will most likely never make an All NBA Defensive Team)

2) Curry hasn't won a Finals MVP

3) Curry needed 3 All-star level teammates (4 if you count Draymond) to win the championship (Klay, Iggy, David Lee, Draymond)

4) Curry would struggle in more physical, rough-n-tumble eras like the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

5) Curry lacks iconic/signature moments that people will look back at when his career is over.

6) Curry got shut down multiple games in the Finals by an aussie midget scrub in Dellavadova.

A lot of that could be applied to Kobe 10 years ago, when he was 27 and one month into a historic season

His hype is definitely well deserved imo

I've never seen anyone in my life be such a prolific scorer, he can offensively swing a game in minutes. Warriors can up by 2 and then in 3 minutes be up by 14.

He's automatic, if he's open its going in. If he's gaurded, 50% chance it's going in. And it's not like he's going to the line 15 times a game or taking 25 shots a game to get his 35 points.

30 footers, 35 footers, just a layup to him. Noones ever gaurded a player like that, how could they? Noones ever shot like that

He makes shooting 3's almost exciting as transition dunks

Curry now >>> Prime Kobe

Draymond's the 2nd best player on the Warriors.

ISH was around back then.

Imagine if ISH was around during Jordan's prime. The stanning and hatred would make the Kobe/Lebron feud pale in comparison. I remember back then. Everyone either loved MJ and rode the Bulls bandwagon, or they couldn't stand him. And of course the media love.

It was bad for the haters back then. At least Lebron and Kobe lost finals.

Biggest difference to me though is that there's really not much you could say negatively about Jordan. After he started winning titles what could the haters truly say about him? They couldn't bring up shit like 2/6, Shaq, 2011 Finals, 6/24 etc. That's what makes the LeBron/Kobe debate so epic, as great as they are they both have several legitimate criticisms and failures on their resume

So far this year Curry is averaging 32|5|6|2 on 52|46|94 shooting while making 5 threes a game, how can anyone call him overrated?

That's just ridiculous. He can't keep that up for 82 games, right?

[masonanddixon]

lol he's by far the best player in the NBA right now and every time hes on the court its an unofficial assist.

The league is garbage right now but hes basically playing at the highest level since Kobe from 05-09

[LakersForlife]

lmao the biggest peace of shit argument. we could also say that all 2000 era stars are overrated what a cuck sacker

what makes him better than a peak lebron but not kobe? this should be good

[masonanddixon]

what makes him better than a peak lebron but not kobe? this should be good

Because he's a much more prolific scorer than Lebron and his mere presence on the floor is an unofficial assist.

He's the PG version of Dirk.
