Re: MJ had goat-level gravity off-screens like Curry, or "downhill" like Luka, or on
Currys off ball gravity was definitely greater. He drew a half court 4v3 fastbreak automatically. Nobody else ever did that.

that's what jordan did - let me know if you need video examples of this standard
and has a coach ever said "our defensive rebounding was decimated because we were double-teaming Curry", because that's what Jeff Van Gundy said about MJ.
and jordan faced 5 on 1 defensive attention or 5-defender strongsides, especially in the 80's or early 90's - again, let me know if you need video examples.. In contrast to MJ facing 5-defender strongsides, Curry enjoys weakside spacing (modern strategy), so he never faces 5-defender strongsides like MJ. Curry would also get hurt in the first game against the defensive attention that MJ faced
finally, if we removed the 3-point line (like the 70's), Curry would never have decided to play basketball.. And if he did, his 25-foot 2-pointers would be far less efficient and not preferred over a dunk or awesome layups/score from Hakeem, Alex English, Bernard King, and about 200 other great scorers.

MJ shifts entire defenses in his direction and requires more "help" defense than anyone in history

To be fair....Luka generates a TON of gravity.
