    When he turns it on, there isnt a player as dynamic...
    1. Shoots with the fast release in History(push shot that he has perfected)
    2. Unbelievable handles that has improved leaps and bounds since the start of his career.
    3. Incredibly quick off the ball, and hugs picks extremely well.
    4. His triple threat position is impossible to guard
    5. His accuracy is rarely compromised because of his impeccable balance.
    6. His weakness defensively is masked by being the presence of a great athletic and long team.

    He is a video game in real life. And as much as there are a ton of salty Houston fans here about Curry...he really is an amazing player.

    3rd game of the season and Harden has already lost his MVP bid.

    He isn't weak defensively. That's one thing I also assumed years ago.

    LeBron is the only player that is probably still better, mostly becuz I think it takes 2 seasons of outperforming to dethrone a guy that's been on top as long as LeBron.

    Curry wouldve been punished in the 90s by physical guards...but he would actually be just as dynamic of a shooter playing in that era. Him and Reggie Miller wouldve been a fun battle to watch.

    LeBron better turn it on because it is about to because Curry is about to take over the league.

    Sadly, Harden has already lost the MVP race this year.

    Nobody would be neutralized more than Harden the in hand check era. Curry uses screens and his ball skills to get around and/or get distance from his defender. You're grasping. Something tells me you weren't even alive in the hand check era.

    Can't even hate on Curry anymore. Best shooter ever. Don't like him or his team by any stretch but he has really come in the league, worked on his game and has become a phenomenal "player" not just a "shooter". Instead of coming into the season "all cool" Curry has taken his game to another level coming off of an MVP and championship season. That's dedication. That's a drive that only the greats have. Harden is a great talent and great player but he still doesn't have the mentality of the greats.

    Harden isn't on this guys level wow the fact that he is as deadly as he from every spot in a half court offense is remarkable

    He's the complete package. Look at that incredible pass into the post. Even Chris Paul is in awww.. Steve Nash gave a wink. They know what's up.

    Meh, he's playing with confidence right now... it's easy to do that with a ring in your back pocket. Having competent teammates also helps too.

    Lebron is one of the greatest but his reign is permanently over. How long will Curry reign supreme is the question... I think a very long time, perfectly balance as others have mentioned which means no major injuries paired with a superior b-ball iq and every other gift... He's the Emperor of Basketball.
