ETXfan16 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/sport/basketball/35666661 Really neat article. Not sure if he's the next Jordan, but he sure is fun to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtee2 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 He virtually un-guardable right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 He knows how to move. His shot is deadly. And he may have the quickest release we've ever seen in basketball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I could never compare him to Jordan, he's great at three pointers, but doesn't have the game Jordan did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 He is not the defender that Jordan was. He might be better offensively though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I could never compare him to Jordan, he's great at three pointers, but doesn't have the game Jordan did. Isn't being the greatest being able to do things and dominate the way Noone has ever done before? I mean thus guy has a killer shot. He destroys people off the ball. Has great hands, and maybe better vision than Stockton ever had at PG... I am not ready to call him the greatest of all time, but people comparing him to Jordan are comparing 2 completely different play styles... if they want to compare dominance then they can make a case...

gtee2 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 After tonight just give him the MVP trophy. Good grief he killed okc. same as I was thinking...nobody can do anything with him this year. 30 foot 3's like the free throw jumpers...really?!?

ETXfan16 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Like Mav said, his playing style is different than Jordan's, so the comparison is a hard one to make. I do think that he is becoming the best at his position no doubt (if he isn't already). I have NEVER seen someone shoot the ball like he does. At any position on the floor. It is absolutely incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The only thing to compare the two would be successes (NBA titles, scoring titles, MVP's). Other than that, there isn't a lot to compare. Gonna have to go way back to find someone to compare Curry too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Think of the pure point guard greats with curry's size... Only recent ones are Nash, who could handle the ball like a globetrotter scripted skit through 4 defenders and Stockton who had the vision of a hawk watching from above. But neither of them were money when it came to creating their own shot. I feel like Steph has their skills and some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only player I would consider a good comparison to Jordan would be Kobe. http://www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/kobe_bryant_vs_michael_jordan.htm The only thing to compare the two would be successes (NBA titles, scoring titles, MVP's).

Kobe is good but I wish he would've developed his own game instead of mimicking Jordan his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobe is good but I wish he would've developed his own game instead of mimicking Jordan his whole career. That's what I meant by comparison. Not stats or anything like that, but playing style. Like you can't put Curry and Jordan together or LeBum and Jordan because they don't have the same game. Kobe ain't no Jordan, but their games are similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevosev7 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Steph Curry can't be compared to anyone. He's truly the first of his kind. Does anyone here think he's NOT the greatest shooter of all time? I still have people arguing with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you brought it up, I compare him to Bird. They're dunks are very similar, and they can/could both shoot. The NBA adopted the three point line the year that Larry was a rookie, and NBA teams were reluctant to use it as it is today. I think Larry's numbers would have been higher if he had shot it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I want to say that right now... However at the end of his career I truly believe he will be the best shooter of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
