re: I'll take peak Curry over peak Lebron

Here's your problem.

You're comparing historically good offense to historically good offense vs above average defense to the 1st or 2nd best defensive player in the game during his peak.

You think Drtg is a good way to judge an individual on defense? Honest question, this will go a looooong way in future conversations

---

I do think it's a good way to take a quick look at a player. But no, not any one statistic works as an end all be all

quote:

BTW, Lebron's career avg in win shares on defense is better than Curry's career best.

---

I already said that, what I said was that it falls in line. My point has never been that steph actually plays better defense. Just that he doesn't hold absolutely no water

quote:

You're comparing historically good offense to historically good offense

and it's only comparable because steph doesn't have LeBron usg% or his minutes

quote:

---

His defense over the last two years basically comes in with what LeBron aversages out to

---

Except it doesn't. The stats that look at an "indivdual's" contribution, controlling for teammates and opponents on the floor, show LeBron is a better defender.

He has even admitted it

that LeBron plays better defense? Sure. I'd still take Currys offensive production though

and it's only comparable because steph doesn't have LeBron usg% or his minutes

Ok, I'm out for real this time.

There you go again with assumptions.

that's a pretty reasonable assumption given what we know about stephs abilities

No but you chose the lesser of the available statistics.

It doesn't fall in line though.

Sure, but that doesn't mean he's as good as LeBron on defense.

Please show me my posts of me dickriding Curry. Hell I posted I enjoyed watching him throw up bricks the other day. You're a fricking idiot.

That's what I thought.

I'll be waiting.
