quote:Not a fan boy actually. Honestly I don't follow the NBA until playoff time. I think Curry is a great player, the best in the league right now. Notice though, I said what WILL he have to do to be considered the greatest, not that he is or will be. I love Jordan too, that is why I give about $500-$1000 a year buying his shoes that I never wear. Calm down, Nancy. Its just a discussion of a players career outlook. Geez

Holy shite a lot of nostalgia...curry's current level play is a level Reggie never achieved or even capable of...he lacked the skill set.

I don't think anyone will ever be the stand alone goat ever again. MJ had almost a perfect career. I don't think anyone will do enough to clearly dethrone him. Someone maybe will have a similar career one day but even that's doubtful. LeBron has all the talent to do it but it looks like he won't get there.

Lets just say how absurd Curry is right now.
If he keeps up his attempts and %, he will be #1 in 4 years.
#1: Miller 2973
#26: Curry 1401
Curry: 10.7 attempts @ 45.6% = 402 per year

And even that doesn't get him there because of the difference between his D and MJ's.
So basically sustain the offensive production for 8 ish more years AND become elite on defense.

Curry compared to Miller. I mean holy shite what kinda drugs did y'all do in the 90s that has ruined your brains?

And to answer the question. If we get like 5 more years of this level of play and the Warriors rattle off like 6 straight titles with him winning finals mvps, I think it would be up for debate

ye of little imagination.
someone Porzinga sized, with Curry range, Bill Russell defense, all time great free throw shooting, Cousy deft passing, Moses Malone rebounding and Russell shot blocking will come along.

pretty much this. nobody will ever supplant Jordan. Part of what makes Jordan the GOAT is his status as a pop culture icon, him being the most marketable athlete in history, the Air Jordan shoes, etc.

it's absolutely part of the mythology of michael jordan. he is the best basketball player that has ever lived, but he is by far the most marketable, famous and beloved american athlete in history, which just widens the gap between him and the next tier of guys.

He's never been all-defensive NBA...where they select 4 guards a year to the 1st and 2nd teams. I'm not saying he's not good, but he's never been recognized for it, which is often what really matters
