Stephen Curry: The Modern Day Era Michael Jordan

There is what fairweather fans want and want real basketball lovers want.......so yeah.

Regarding SGA, and I watched him a lot, he is doing a well balanced diet of middy, going to the rack (obviously more drives in the 3rd and 4th) and a few 3 pointers here and there.

He is also stocking a lot (blocks and steals).....1.2 blocks for a guard is pretty insane.

Easy to say that when stats are inflated so much. Not like he's doing anything special when his peers are doing the same or much better. Old, "washed" MJ was playing in the slowest, probably toughest era where he was keeping up at the top with peak Kobe and T-Mac when healthy and Jordan didn't take mysterious absences throughout his career to come back to start balling out after "treatments" and "the Michael Jordan of Doctors" got him right again. Adam Silver himself said the late 90s into 2ks was TOO physical. So to compare that to older players today getting big numbers in a era that everyone knows is TOO easy. A league dominated by euros who say the NBA is easier than Euro basketball...that's used to prop up LeBron's legacy?

Fans are so starved for a semblance of what basketball used to be. We got little guards averaging big man rebound numbers, and little guys averaging better % than traditional big man under the basket. The NBA became a joke in perfect time to help boost older LeBron's numbers as he was clearly statistically trending down(not to mention the intro of the Play-In and In season Tournament both of which LeBron immediately benefitted from-taken to its most grotesque levels when Silver and LeBron combined for the Bubble championship).
Don't agree stats are inflated? Then you're one of the idiots who has to argue that old LeBron is better than peak MVP LeBron bc the numbers say so right? It's a joke league and now who has a problem with it and doesn't want other's benefiting from it the way he did now that he got his precious accumulative stat record? You know ...the record that no one cared about..when the guy with more MVPs and more rings than LeBron had it? The one who tried to use media power to convince everyone that's what makes you the greatest? Longevity and total stats? Who doesn't want these guys to have a full career to benefit from this league statistically? LeBron, of course.

Fans so starved for something they don't quite know what it is that people call SGA a mid range god, but he gets the bulk of his pts and efficiency under the basket and within a few feet around from FT lin to the short corner. You know...traditionally C/PF areas. He barely takes real mid range shots and he's seen as some hope of another Jordan or Kobe like mid range master. That's what the people want. SGA plays more like James Harden than he does Jordan or Kobe and yet it's enough to hype people up that the NBA could return to the Jordan and Kobe era. Same with trying to pump up ANT as the next Jordan or Kobe.

No one wants the next Lebron, just like no one was seeking the next Kareem or Karl Malone.

He’s the modern day Calvin Murphy without the personality. Murph would be a superstar in today’s NBA.
