re: Steph Curry says that he is a better offensive player than Lebron James

If he said he was a better scorer, I may agree. But overall Lebron is better offensively. Durant and Carmelo are probably better than LeBron offensively, though.

Best offensive player = best player when his team possesses the ball. That encompasses many different things. Shooting, scoring, post up game, perimeter game, passing, ball handling, creating for yourself, creating for teammates, able to play multiple roles within the offense, etc.

Lebron James is the best offensive player in the game, period. You want to argue curry is a better shooter, or Durant/Carmelo is a better scorer, those can be debated. But as an overall offensive player it's not even a question.
