re: Steph Curry is the best player in the NBA

, maybe a HOFer but nobody anyone thinks twice about in the best player ever discussion.

so as long as we take away the single greatest skill we have ever seen someone have?

still been two of the five best players ever because they were all time great finishers, defenders and two of the best athletes in sports history.

michael would not come anywhere close to being considered a top 5 player in the history of the game if he couldnt average 30 a game off his mid range jumper. come on now. he would for sure be a HOF, but not top 5 all time. if lebron wasnt as dominant in his drives to the hoop, there is no way he would still be considered a top 5 player as well. if you take those away from them, just like curry, they would obviously not be in the conversation. we can even expand this and talk about the other greats. what if we take kareems sky hook away? what if we take magics playmaking abilities away?

People need to ask themselves this though: If you take away his shooting, what is Steph Curry? 

Now ask the same question of Jordan or Lebron and the answer is they are STILL two of the greatest players of all time.

That's a silly point because shooting is Curry's greatest strength, while not being one for Jordan/LeBron

Take away Jabbars post game and what is he?

Kawhi doesn't really count, though, because he's a robot.

I, for one, am kind of tired of these non-humans infiltrating the game of basketball. Got an extraterrestrial fricking with the laws of physics in the Bay Area, too. Ruining the game

We need to ask the question. Is steph curry >Jordan?

Let me know when Steph wins a defensive player of the year award.
