He currently has a PER of 33.0, and if he finishes the season with that PER, it will be the highest computed PER of all-time. Higher than Kobe's, Wilt's, Shaq's, KAJ's, MJ's, or LBJ's best season.

And handchecking Difficult to compare raw numbers such as PER across Eras, especially perimeter players considering handchecking
But at the end of the day, its not like his defense has been the focus of lost games. James had an entire lowlight reel of bad defense, Curry as bad as his rep is, I don't see his lowlight mix.
Wardell Stephen Curry is the best player in the league but until he gets a few more chips he's gonna be 2nd best to ever play the game
It's moronic how people think Curry has been doing this for his entire career. He's a career 21/6 player. He's having an amazing season, but he's hardly been such for the entirety of his career. And that's not even factoring defense. Anybody who thinks he's even close to the GOAT is beyond idiotic.
I'd wait until he wins a few more championships. Look, the Cavs gave the Warriors a tough out without Love or Irving. I imagine if they have to see the Spurs and OKC they are not going to have a smooth ride to the finals.
you think Curry would be this effective playing in the 80's and 90's when players could close line you and push Curry around on the court?
Could you give more clarification? Your response sounds like the above, emotional-driven responses. For the record, I am certainly NOT stating that Steph Curry is the GOAT, I just want to see a discussion.
