    Curry's game is unlike Jordan. They don't resemble each other at all except in numbers. The most Jordanesque player in the league right now is Morant.

    From a strength standpoint Anthony Edwards is as strong as Jordan was, and as strong as a bull.

    They literally have nothing in common in terms of their play. Curry is close to Reggie Miller

    First part yes, second part Curry is a better Ray Allen, Reggie Miller is not close to being an All Time Top 20.

    But we are strictly talking about shooting and the Offense side of things... but yeah I agree with some of it.

    I do think some of the teams' plans is to let him switch to weaker scorers ....

    I just think he's a bad defender but shooting wise and offensive then they're similar. Steph is a better ball handler

    The stats say he is an average defender in some of the season.....take it for what is worth though.

    Yes Steph is basically a better version of Ray Allen. He also has playmaking and is the goat shooter, I honestly don't know how he is so accurate. I mean his dad and bro are also amazing shooters so I'm sure there's some family secrets in terms of training and shooting mechanics but Curry is just amazing and on another level over everyone else.

    It's kinda joke to compare him to MJ though because during MJ's time 3s weren't popular and I don't know if Curry can thrive in 80s basketball when handchecks were still allowed.

    Curry is close to Reggie?! No way. Curry can handle the ball, pass, create, and shoot, all very well. Reggie was more of a shooter than anything else.

    Michael Jordan was the first one that globalized the game, Curry had a large fan base but I am not seeing the huge impact.

    Curry revolutionized 3 point shooting and made it popular among hipsters, and fair weather fans who liked light skins......

    Pau Gasol, Yao Ming, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Manu ....all those guys drove the globalization further.

    Different era of play. Curty's handle is not much to me as he is allowed to carry every possession (similar to what AI was allowed to do). Both are good shooters.

    My main point was Curry isn't anything close to Jordan

    Is Robert Horry also Michael Jordan because of his ring count?

    I will say… that everyone wanted to be Jordan growing up… then Kobe…

    Steph Curry changed the way that the average person played pickup basketball.

    He’s a legend.

    But good god don’t ever compare.

    I still find it weird he didn’t sign an extension with Nike back in 2013.
