Kids today don't appreciate what the game was then, all they care about are handles and who can hit the deepest shot and who has the fanciest dunk.
Michael Jordan didn't need a great shot because he could get any shot any time he wanted from anywhere. Curry can MAKE any shot from anywhere, there is a difference. A layup/dunk/FT/10 footer any time you want any of them is still a superior skillset.

Man I just don't know about that when compared to stephs skill set
Jordan is the greatest right now. We have to wait and see on curry. But his skill set from long range is something we've never seen

Were you around for MJ's 63 point game in the Boston Garden???? Players just did NOT go against Those great Boston teams and do that. Esp at the Garden.....And in the playoffs.....

You don't think Curry can get any shot he wants? Why would he take ten footers when he shoots just as well from three and gets an extra point. Curry makes 46% of his threes which is the same point-wise as making 69% on twos which literally no one does from mid range unless you're limiting it to spot up guys.
He's also a great finisher at the basket at over 68%.

Well in most cases you're absolutely right. But Curry shoots 47% from 3, which is more points than a 2 I think.
I mean stats back this up. Curry has a true shooting % of 64.3. MJ's best ever was 54.7. And yes this isn't taking defense into account, and I'm not discussing careers, but it absolutely destroys your assertion that MJ's offensive skill set was better than Curry (who is also a better passer).
