re: Spinoff: More skilled player: MJ or Steph Curry?

Lebron is a better shooter. MJ played in era that didn't emphasize the 3 pointer. Lebron with the exception of this year, has been remarkably efficient in a way that just wasn't that important in MJ time. By this point in his career, Lebron is a far better shooter than Jordan demonstrated. But it's still irrelevant.

Steph ain't got that unstoppable fadeaway J.

Absolutely

definitely a better shooter
I don't have their mid-range stats offhand, but LeBron is a career 34.2% 3 pt shooter, while MJ is a career 32.7% 3 pt shooter

Steph Curry can create separation with his handles and super quick release. The fade away has become more rare as the step back has become more popular.

Don't need a fadeaway when your entire shot last about .5 seconds.
Steph's quick trigger is amazing!

How about the fact that Steph can be bullied and beat up and denied the ball by elite defenders?
Basketball isn't a skills challenge otherwise we d just have the all star game and call it a season.
No one was pushing Mike around the court after he got tough post Bad Boys. He was the meanest strongest toughest on the court. He ran harder and faster. You couldn't push him foul him or deny him.
Who cares has a prettier jumper. I want to win.

Because great 3 point shooters are a dime a dozen, while you can count on one hand how many great 6'6 post players there have been in the history of the game.

Players didn't practice threes nearly as much back then. 34.2% was considered pretty good. The three ball has become much more important lately. Jordan is a better free throw shooter than LeBron. I think that's pretty telling.
It's also amazing how civil this thread has been without WeBeezYoSuperBowl here to frick it up.

So his career average is higher. And that discounts the fact that his 3 point percentage has improved since when he came in and started firing ISO 3a in mike Browns piece of shite offense.
By the end of their time together at the heat, Lebron was beating Ray Allen in shooting contests. Not saying he's Jesus shuttlesworth. But bron is a better shooter. 3 was the only undeveloped part of MJd game. As I said it has more to do with that generation eschewing 3S then lack of MJ ability

I'll definitely give curry credit for this, his release enables him to get off a shot that almost nobody else can.

You're trying to compare the greatest player of all time to a guy just beginning his career?
He's 27 and been in the league for 6 years, I wouldn't say his career is just starting
. Also, he seems like a guy who could catch the injury bug really quick, and he was actually oft-injured his first few years in the league. Basically, its still TBD how long his prime even lasts....if a guy gets injured Derrick Rose style at 28, then he won't have decent health until after 30....not saying this will happen, but injuries happen, even the best players aren't immune.This post was edited on 5/20/15 at 11:07 am

Can't find anything that says LeBron is better shooter than one of the greatest shooters of all-time.

Teams ABSOLUTELY did that to MJ early in his career.
and during the 2014 playoffs they did it and Lebron murdered them. So?

I don't really see passing as a skill as much as awareness. Lebron is incredible at passing because of his height, vision, and awareness. Now if you are talking about Pete Maravich type thread the needle, through the legs, spinning bounce passes, sure thats skill.
