The Golden State Warriors are scheduled to take on the Portland Trail Blazers Wednesday night. Ahead of the matchup between the two Western Conference foes, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was quoted saying 'I think Steph in a lot of ways is like Michael Jordan.' Kerr a former teammate of Jordan won a championship with the Bulls in 1997 as a player and won three as Warriors head coach. Marcellus Wiley and Emmanuel Acho debate if it is 'crazy' to compare Michael Jordan to Stephen Curry.

Nah Wiley you trippin. You must have seen his tape. He’s always been able to slash. To address the “when did he start avg 20”, ironically slashing was one the main reason he didn’t avg 20. Slashing caused most of his ankle injuries, which (like you said) caused him to “out of necessity “ become even better than he was at shooting. Add the injuries to the fact they were still phasing out of the Mark Jaccson , and the “We Believe” era, and you can conclude that Steph wasn’t the first or second option. One of the main reasons they ended the “We believe” era was BECAUSE they wanted Steph to be the focal point. Once they made that decision, Steph TOOK OFF. Steph has always slashed, and went to the hole. He just taking what he’s been doing to the next level, the same thing he did with the 3. Somehow he went from injured, and not avg 20 to literally being l unguardable...... I’m with acho RIGHT NOW he top 8. Because of his game, he can last as long as lebron to take it as far as he wishes! Y’all disrespect so much man, and I’m not even a “fan” of Steph. I just can see what’s in front of me 🤦🏾‍♂️ “Steph didn’t invent anything ... he just couldn’t get to the whole so he had to...” Whatever you call it, whatever reasoning you put behind it , he single handedly changed the game. The way it’s played, AND the way it’s officiated. And the wildest part is somethin y’all skimmed over. HE DID IT ON UNDER ARMOR!!!! He not only save the game, but their company as well, JUST LIKE JORDAN 🤷🏾‍♂️

@dustincobb5718 2 жыл бұрын

Yup just like it's ludicrous to say 90s were the toughest most physical era. Although one and two hand checks were much more physical before the rule changed in 1976. Plus the prohop should be banned and the defensive 3 second because it's easier to score. Plus although before 76 the hand checks were more physical. The 90s hand check should be brought back. since the checks before 76 would everyone today. That's why I have MJ lower than the majority thinks he should be. Tougher more physical hand checks meant the older players couldn't do moves like MJ because they'd be hurt. Yet they were capable of doing it.

Kareem got the dunk outlawed in amateur basketball and we all learned the skyhook. Jordan showed up when they changed the rule back. Jordan didn’t change the game. But we started practicing fadeaway jumpers instead of skyhooks. However we already were doing everything else. Steph curry changed the game on the court. Jordan didn’t. That simple. I don’t compare Jordan to curry. The nba hyped Jordan more than anyone. I copied one Jordan move. The rest were Dominique dr j and Isaiah Thomas. I didn’t really appreciate that hype. He was just another guy. If you played the game Jordan was just another guy to you. He was just good. All due offense. Jordan is not in curry’s league.

So in your opinion is he better than Hakeem,Magic,Bird, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq,Kareem, Wilt, LBJ, Jordan. So who would you take out of those 10 ? And I can add more names still. He is a HOF for sure but no disrespect to him not top 10 as of yet. KD can argue to be in the top ten also in that case case and I he isn't there as of yet in my opinion.

It’s funny how Wiley’s own arguments can be used against him, He’s saying Curry can ‘t gets special consideration because he wasn’t the first to do anything that he’s doing well. But Jordan wasn’t the first to Dunk, He wasn’t the first to shoot a fade-away jump shot, He wasn’t the first to do any of the things he did. He wasn’t even the first to win 6 Championships. So, Wiley’s arguments are non-arguments… they make no sense. Curry and Jordan are comparable because of how well they did what they chose to do. Everything Jordan did, others were doing it before him… remember Dr. J? What Curry did was focus on the 3-point shot and took it a lot more than others before him. And to make them at a 40% clip his entire career, when most other 3-point shooters were making then less than he was, changed the way Teams organized their defenses. Jordan impacted the game because coaches changed their defenses to focus on the four other players on the court, since they succumbed to the fact that they couldn’t keep him from scoring. Curry impacted the game because coaches had to changed their defenses to account for the distance he was making 3-pointers from, which open the floor like no other time in the history of the game.

Magic said MJ took the game above the rim and this was due to his athleticism. Many players followed. Curry took the game well beyond the 3 pt line as a matter of course. He was able to do it off the catch like others but off the dribble unlike others. Curry dismissed the slow-footed Goliaths from the League something Jordan was not able to do. Now they must be able to step out and guard the perimeter and be capable of making treys. The debate is not who is top 5, top ten or who was more athletic who won more chips; the discussion is about can Curry be compared to MJ. Answer? Yes bc he changed the way the game is played. For good measure, Steph has galvanized the fan base the way MJ did.

Literally Curry in his era had so much impact that most players in the same era changed their whole entire play styles while they are in or a little bit past his prime.

Like he said, Mike did what everyone else did but just extremely better at it. He didn't cause players to move outward from the paint just to guard a 3 while someone is transitioning to the basket. They'd rather cover the 'possible' 3 than the almost inevitable 2 pts which no one in the 90s would almost even think twice about.

Also, I don't hear about Steph being a lockdown defender, dunker, stealer, shot-blocker, rebounder, assister, triple-doubler, or any other attribute! Curry has a guaranteed HOF career (with many more years left to play), but the comparisons are misleading and inaccurate. And he doesn't NEED the help. He's the best shooter EVER, AND I'm surprised he doesn't have a statue yet!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I don't remember anyone doing this for Ray Allen when he snatched this record. Sheesh. **It's like The Media is begging Curry's core fans to love them (to boost views) by glorifying "the most *likable*" active basketball planet on earth; Stephen Curry.** I don't understand how we're comparing Curry to the following: - Jordan's "His Airness" defensive stopping power and unstoppable scoring ability. - Kobe's "Mamba Mentality" killer (win or die trying) instinct. - Lebron's "King James" (most-complete) all-around most extraordinary basketball legacy ever seen. In summary, NO ONE did what Curry (just) did. That's why he has the "Most-Three-Pointers ever made" record. Hard stop. Lastly, the Golden State front office and coaching staff deserve more recognition--their system is ELITE TEAM BASKETBALL! Steph isn't doing this on ANY team with ANY coach during ANY era. It's a clinic in the GSW dog-house, and they keep proving it year after year (even when they're not winning 70 in a row).

NBA players show you who they fear and who will hit the shot, and the consensus is that it’s Steph. We have NEVER in the history of the game seen anyone guarded to the extent that Curry is. Multiple people guarded Shaq and Wilt in the paint. Multiple people guarded Jordan in the paint and his midrange. We have never seen someone get guarded by multiple people while everyone on the team has to account for where they are on the court as soon as they cross half court onward where NO ONE wants him to shoot ANY shot. Whether it’s a layup, floater, midrange, 3 pointer, ANYTHING, no one wants Steph to shoot ANY shot (besides a dunk lol).
