Steph Curry is an all time great shooter
Lebron is a more well rounded player though
Lebron is a more well rounded player though
EDIT: New Question, is LeBron the second greatest player of all time? So, has Steph Curry overtaken

Just talking basketball in general.WHAT?Maybe if you're comparing the average NBA player to the average non-NBA player, but who does that?
I try to cover all levels of knowledge when posting.
You got some people that really think some NBA players are "trash".
Now WNBA is another story.
I truly believe I can beat a WNBA player in a best 2 out of 3.
I'll drain a 3 on her and yell "I'm back!"

Way better. Lebron is probably the second best PG in the league.

Bro people will say "Steph Curry is a great player".lol @ him trying to rationalize it. Ain't nobody in here comparing pro-athletes to the average Joe.
Yes Steph is a great player, but every cat in the league is a great "player".
At this point being a great player in the NBA really makes you an average basketball player, when compared to the greatest players ever.
Essentially the water is getting muddied because every generation wants to stake claim to having the "greatest" player.
So if we are going to say Steph Curry is great, then we need to come up with other words to describe Wilt, Russell, Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, Bird, Magic, and so on and so on.
Because we can't keep using the same words to describe everybody.

Patrick Beverly is a role player. He is excellent at his role.e
I don't think Steph Curry is a great player, I think he will be. I think he's already a great 3 point shooter. The point about comparing these athletes to regular people is dumb, let's just kill that. Nobody in these discussions measure greatness in relation to the average Joe. We are measuring greatness in relation to pros and other great players.
I think Steph is an elite player and a great shooter. The heirarchy goes (using playoff players)
Great/Legend-Bron, Duncan
Elite-CP3, Durant, Westbrook, Kyrie, Steph, Harden
Good-Kyle Lowry, Kevin Love :/ , Deandre Jordan
Serviceable-Shumpert and JR Smith
Trash-Patrick Beverly, Harden (defense)

So then don't say his name. You puting his name in with Allstars shows your lack of knowledge
I'll admit I haven't seen him all year, but him against curry and klay wasMaybe he's serviceable.

I didn't put him in with all stars, I said he was trash, which he was in the playoffs.

As someone that got to watch Magic and Showtime, Dr. J and the 76ers, Bird and the Celtics.
Ewing, Olajuwon, and Jordan were still in college at the time.
Everyone expected Ewing and Olajuwon to dominate the league, so that's kind of what makes MJs dominance so special.
With that being said, my early exposure to LEGENDARY basketball players is the reason I refused to fall for the 3pt revolution known as the Splash Brothers.

lol, at least make the argument that if he keeps up this pace he will.
Dude
He's broken multiple 3pt shooting records
He's already a 2 time league mvp and an nba champion
He just came off of a season in which he was 30 a game on 50/45/90
He now has multiple first team all nba selections and all star appearances
If he retired today he would be a hof'er easily and if you cant see that you're a blind hater thats typing to be typing
The argument is whether or not he's a firsr ballot but thats obvious too.
How many two time league mvps dont make the hof? Yall being silly
