Is Curry even better offensively than Iverson?

[deja vu]

One thing's for sure, Iverson wouldn't average 22 points in a Finals series.

[Bankaii]

AI: 31 PPG on 26 shots a game
Curry: 30 PPG on 20 shots a game

Yeah...it's not close. Sorry man.

Now compare playoffs, or even worse, finals stats

Iverson would NEVER be as bad as Curry was in the Finals.
at Kyrie trying to defend Iverson 1-on-1

[bobopenguin]

didnt AI said curry is a better scorer than himself? i thought i read somewhere.

[deja vu]

Iverson was sick. He's barely 6 feet flat and he was always driving to the rim and putting up shots over the likes of Shaq. Fearless. His crossover was one of the best in history and he was also one of the fastest guys on the court.

Granted, he was a chucker and was never efficient, but he will always light you up.

Obviously Curry is a better 3pt and free throw shooter, but that is it, compare the stats.

Look at AI's numbers before he left Philly or even at the same time of his career to what Curry is now. You will be amazed.

How quick people forget.

[ArbitraryWater]

Even

Do you aware , you're talking about top 5 scorer of all time ?

Btw , If Ivy got close defences like Curry had ; he would average 40 points a game . That's the slashing differential on between Curry and Ivy .

wait, Iverson is one of the top 5 scorers of all time?

[fourkicks44]

wait, Iverson is one of the top 5 scorers of all time?

See, longevity was his problem.

The answer (excuse the pun) is:

He SHOULD be one of the top 5 scorers of all-time.

Better than AI? wasn't even better than kyrie

[Straight_Ballin]

First off I love Curry and will say he's the greatest shooter to ever play the game. But when referring to the greatest offensive player to ever play was he even better than Iverson?

Iverson may be the best isolation gaurd in the history of the NBA. The big difference with him and Curry is Iverson NEVER called for picks. He created his shots off of isolation. I'll admit Curry is the better player. But an idividually better offensive player?

Anyways, watch and enjoy video:

I don't need to watch the vid. I lived it. Hell no Curry isn't better than AI. AI shit down the throat of an entire league and he was only 6'1, 165 pounds when he did it. People talk shit about his shot % but who gives a fuck? His shot % got him all the way to the finals and it took 2 top 10 players in Kobe and Shaq to prevent him from winning. He even made a man out of Lue during that series in the progress. Curry better eat a fucking Philly cheese steak or some shit if he thinks he's better than AI.....

Curry shoots 2P% better than Jordan, so even inside the 3 point line Curry is superior to Iverson who was a talented scorer but very inefficient.

[Rocketswin2013]

yes. lets not underrate curry here.

[HylianNightmare]

AI is a better scorer. Curry a better shooter.

This,I'm sure ai would do well in this current nba

[sd3035]

Westbrook and Iverson would be a better comparison

[feyki]

Curry shoots 2P% better than Jordan, so even inside the 3 point line Curry is superior to Iverson who was a talented scorer but very inefficient.

[StrongLurk]

Curry led the league in Free Throw shooting AND layup percentage...on top of being the best 3 point shooter ever BY FAR.

Also shot over 40 percent from midrange...

Damn, I love Iverson too but he gets crazy overrated. Iverson couldn't touch Curry this year.
