Nah
Isn't he more efficient than mj while taking higher difficulty shots?
Has Steph Curry surpassed Lebron and can he reach goat status?

Not really. His team would be different. He'd have goons on the team to make sure he didn't get broken up
I don't think he'll be goat. I think he'll be the new standard for shooting killer instinct as a pg
The NBA manufactures their faces....
As I said he is a great shooter....but GS is a great team..They may be better with him but they are still great without him.
Derrick Rose never had a team like that
AI never had a team like that..
so their accomplishments can be mentioned.
teams matter so stop acting like these cats playing HORSE
where was this thread 2 yrs ago ??? oh yeah it didn't exist.. maybe he's having a lucky 2 yrs maybe he's not..but 2yrs ago nobody would've dared made this thread..in fact where the hell was warrior threads 2 yrs ago???
Man. Be objective. How many players have you seen be this dominant? And extrapolate this out over a few more years? He wouldn't be in the argument?
I'm not saying right now.. I'm saying if he does this shit for several more years, how can his career be defined when you're talkinga bout the greatest shooters of all time, dominant for years, multiple MVPs, multiple titles...owning all the shooting records..
what they should stop doing is talking GOAT anyway....Best players of the generation is more accurate
So if he does this for 5 more seasons you wouldn't put him in the argument?
Curry is on some other shit. He doesn't need to eclipse Lebron; he's doing different shit Lebron has never done. There's room for both of them to be great at the same time. There never was and never will be a single GOAT. The NBA ain't Highlander: there actually CAN be more than one so called GOAT.
Umm didn't Jordan have a great team without him?
That didn't negate his credentials.
Rose and AI are not on currys level.
Let's not do that bs.
.
Lebron is great he can do everything you said however people always talk about a stacked team full of players outside of klay and green that nobody wanted lol
Iggy been in the nba Livingston Barbosa etc those dudes were getting cut by 20 win teams and traded out of Philly for peanuts
Let's not rewrite history like those dudes are max players that got together
It's just a gm doing a good job of putting pieces together and drafting well
Nobody wanted Andrew bogut.
No sir.....
You never saw MJ pull up from the hash because of defense.
Curry makes what would be considered bad shots...
It's speculative.
We're saying if he continues like this.
That's essentially how I established it. I listed a bunch of players who were the best of their generation. and said "goat status"...not goat. I think declaring a goat in team sports is really difficult
when he becomes a great two way player. Right now he hides very well in the team defense.
you are uninformed if you think AI.
AI could make a bad team competitive and took a half asses team to the finals
Jordan had great roles players Curry has players who could be their teams star.
They aren't bad shots for curry and they are worth more points
agreed
He's not lol. He shoots in the flow of the offense
Last night he deferred to klay cause klay was hot and then closed the deal.
While that is true hard to defend out there, but he HAS to go to the rack sometime. He would not have not had the cake walk he has now. Back then PG's and SG's went to the rack would go to the rack and get hacked to the point of broken and fractured bones. Hand checking works on EVERYBODY if done correctly lol...
He is amazing but do you think Isiah, Starks, Reggie, etc would let him do that without the punishment. It changes the way you play. Of course this is all what ifs, and maybes, my point is not saying he couldn't play in any era it would just be interesting to see how he would have to change his game.
Which makes a great team...
those role players you named by themselves are mediocre but together they fits.
same way SA drafts and trades for players that fit.....
that team as it stands is a great team. regardless how it got made..
they fit and compliment.
How the fuck is it generous? How many game winners did he hit this year while averaging 30 a game? Lol.
.and he didn't rest 30 games either
Couldn't hide like that back then lol. You had to get the rock as a PG. You had to feel the fire. I was very fortunate to always see the Knicks Vs Bulls games on either XMAS or Thanksgiving almost floor seats (Uncle corporate seats). What you would hear sounded like cats was damn near playing football lol
I'm not arguing hes the goat or will be
I am saying stop bringing up dudes who didn't win rings and don't have multiple MVPs into his conversation that's all
Agreed. That's why I listed multiple players and said "goat status".
Personally maybe.
And he plays for my team. He'll be the standard for the 1.
I don't believe in goat and I don't think Jordan is the goat you know who I think is
Sure they would knock him around but like bills said the team would be built differently ie enforcers
Shooting is a skill that translates any era.
And his ball handling is arguably better than all them guys listed.
He is a better ball handler cause he can't be touched lol. Its easier to handle the ball when cats not hacking you lol
Right cause pippen isn't a top 50 player and took the Blazers to the conference finals and Rodman had absolutely no pedigree or success without Jordan. .
Ron harper was a better player than majority of this warriors team
But not indivdual game changers like ppl try to make them seem
Lebron absolutely took a trash team to the finals and got brat
He won with multiple hof players on the roster.
That's important to point out
There's a big difference between Steph Curry & Magic Johnson, as far as 'defense' goes...
Because Magic could DEFEND all 5 positions.
He played BOTH sides of the ball, at every spot.
Not just offense alone.
2x NBA Playoffs steals leader (1980, 1982)
2x NBA Playoffs total steals leader (1980, 1983)
Curry cannot DEFEND power forwards & centers (down in the paint) like Magic could.
Magic was never known for his defense and steals don't necessarily equate to good defense considering defense is mostly a team concept.
When Naismith created the game - it had one pardon the pun goal - put the ball in the hoop - over the years the game has evolved into a ballet of sorts as players developed a variety of ways to get the ball into the hoop but at the end of the day - the ability to drop bombs from anywhere on the court makes you a valuable player so as that goes, Steph Curry is one of the most valuable - GOAT? - the game goes two ways and MJ won multiple Defensive Player of the year as well as scoring championships, MVPs and 6 rings.
Steph might be the greatest player of this era but I am not sure about all time.
