    Curry's injury history gives Lillard the edge, I'd say. Curry more turnover prone as well.

    curry is turnover prone, injury prone, and at times has trouble getting his own shots. lillard is much more athletic. give me lillard

    Curry. Lillard is a good shooter but can't hit the pullup like Curry can. I think Curry would be the obviously better player if he was playing in a real offense.

    Curry for now. Lillard might catch up in a couple of years.

    lillard because he is younger and is playing really really well. less injury prone. i like his game. doesnt have to jack up a million shots (at least in the playoffs he didnt). I know curry has a tendency to try to take over.

    Curry is the man, lillard is also great, but curry is the man. However, if it's the last minute give me lillard - dude is clutch.

    Curry has more potential, Lillard seems less injury prone. It's a toss up, but I like Curry a little more than Lillard.

    Curry has to be his team's primary (and sometimes only...) offense, whereas Lillard is a secondary/clutch player.

    Curry has way more responsibility and does better at it.

    Of all the X or Y polls, this one is actually one of the best comparison. Curry is more skilled, at least for now. Lillard, however, seems to be very tough, both physically and mentally.

    Curry is way better playmaker on top of the 3s. So I would go with Curry.

    I think it's still easily Curry. The amount of attention Curry garners on offense is comparable to only Kevin Durant.

    Curry is shooting more consistent and also a better playmaker and defender. Yes, Lillard played a great series vs. the Rockets, but let's not overhype him now.

    It's Lillard's first playoff series. But I don't expect him to play much worse than this in any other series.

    Tough one. Lillard is probably more explosive and quicker, but I think Curry is more elusive and deadlier. I like Curry more because I feel like he is more likely to drop 30+ and still get 10 assist. Both are pretty funny on defense though.

    I like Curry more now since Lillard is extremely streaky while Curry has been on god mode shooting wise since he entered the NBA, but I voted Lillard for the poll due to Curry's ankle issues. There's a chance Curry will end up like BRoy and have to retire while still being a very good NBA player.

    Curry now and Curry for the future, and it's not even close. Ankle issues are not the same as degenerative chronical knee issues.
