    93-94 dream was that perfect player. Shoot from anywhere. Great foot work. Defense, offense... he had it all. Quickness, footwork, court vision and leadership... The Man to this day had the greatest individual season/post season I have ever seen.

    Keep it simple and just do Prime LeBron + Curry's shooting ability. Or put Steph Curry's skill set (shooting, handles, vision) in Giannis' Body.

    Shaq's body
    Curry's shooting
    Olajuwon's post game
    CP3's IQ
    Kobe's will.

    Good luck defending a 7'1'' 300 pounder who can shoot from anywhere and can destroy you by backing down in the post. General IQ (leadership?) to know what to do and when to do it, and the will to do everything you can to win.

    Dumb question... what about Harden’s body control? Russell Westbrook’s first step? Kevin Durant’s form? Jordan’s hands?

    Yeah, the feeling of seemingly always unfufillment add up to endless desire for consuming all things on the earth, won't keep mankind to stop pursuing best quality of everything until replacing ourselves with best quality robots.
    A robotic player can do it all.

    Give Harden Giannis's or LeBron's body. He would average 50 points.

    I'll build you the perfect all time rocket and NBA player at the same time.

    - Yao Ming's height
    - Westbrook's Athleticism - Honorable mentions to Francis and McGrady here as well.
    - Olajuwon's Post Moves, Defense and Killer Instinct/ Competiveness
    - Harden's Creativity / Handles
    - Murphy's Shooting
    - Drexlers Durability
    - Horrys Clutchness

    Boom, you've got the perfect player.

    I always wonder about one thing. Immediately when I see this I too say Curry’s shooting, which is obvious and totally justified. But why not a guy like Duncan Robinson? Not a sexy answer I know. Isn’t he technically a superior shooter, just doesn’t have the handles or other aspects to allow him to be a main offensive weapon.

    Their career averages are the same and Duncan Robinson doesn't get covered or shoot off the bounce. There is pretty much no doubt that Curry is the best shooter in the history of the NBA.

    BTW, the only player even close to Curry is Drazen Petrovic.

    Yeah I definitely wouldn’t disagree with Curry being the greatest shooter of all time. Just playing Devils advocate I guess. My question was if they were both standing in one spot with the same shots is Curry clearly winning?
    Stupid question. NBA will be back soon
