Lol at the haters. Two more years of this and Curry = GOAT Steph's a future high end hall of famer, Jordan should have his own building. You don't think IF Steph pulls a 4-peat doing this video game shit he won't be the GOAT?I doubt he does it (this post season injury is a reminder how fragile he once was and most likely will be again as he ages), but pull the head out of the sand if you don't think his ceiling is still GOAT. LeBron's chance at GOAT status ended with his failures in South Beach. Curry is in LIPO mode.He's changing the game more than Jordan. All Jordan did was give the refs the green light to stop calling travels and pushoffs on superstars. That's still too short of a peak to be GOAT imo, and I'm a huge Steph fan. It would be the greatest four year run anybody ever had, but I still think the GOAT needs more excellence than that. Steph gets hurt a lot by his good but not great earlier career. Anyone else in the GOAT discussion dominated much earlier than Steph did. On one hand than demonstrated just how hard Currt has worked to get to this point. On the other it means he needs another four or five elite seasons to be in the discussion IMO.And I have to respectfully disagree with APAG. Of course Curry didn't invent the three and GS didn't invent small ball, but Curry in particular has taken the three to places nobody ever imagined could be done well, both in terms of volume and in terms of distance. His impact on the league today might not be game changing but his impact on the kids following the game most certainly is. Does that make him more influential than MJ? Not yet by any means. Jordan's influence spanned a decade and a half in the league and carried out for another good fifteen years after he retired. If Steph has a career ending or even altering injury soon he won't finish close to that. If he gives another 5-7 years of elite play followed by three to five of very good play he'll have a shot. LIPO. I hate this "If only crap", but I have to say it. Had Jordan not changed sports, there's a good chance he could have had 8 rings in a row. I get that he came back in 1995, but he came back late. He only played 17 games before the end of the regular season after taking more than a year and a half off.

Steph wouldn't last a series against the Pistons the way they beat the fuck out of MJ...different game different rules,Curry has never been defended like they used to play D

Appropriate for the greatest regular season of all time. Wilt says hi.50 points, 26 rebounds/game.No contest. Educate yourself https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOS7lNTABzc

Curry would be playing soccer if the old rules were still in effect.#spindly This idea that the new players would get beat up if the old rules were in play is way overblown. The new guys play softer because that's what the rules dictate. In a royal rumble to the death I'll take today's bigger, stronger, athletes over the guys of yesteryear.Also Curry does 90% of his damage from outside, trying to mug him 35ft from the basket with all that space plays right into his hands.

You can't have it both ways - with the new interpretation of the rules, Jordan would average 50ppg. He got his 35 with Dumars, Stark, Mahorn, Laimbeer and Oakley beating the fuck out of him. Allowed to roam free, only *real* God knows how many points Jordan would have scored.
Jordan's jumper would be a liability in today's league, and his isos would get preyed on by the more active defensive rotations and small ball lineups.

Early Jordan would be a liability from a jumper perspective ... the inability to hand check him though would put him on the line about 20x per night ... nobody would have been able to stay in front of him.

So Jordan is Harden.
