If Warriors 73 wins, then who was GOAT?
>>66744355
warriors isn't a person
>>66744355
sixers era mutombo
>>66744355
The black one
MJ still. Curry wins on 1 v 1 because of the nature of 3pts being 50% more valuable, but curry is still 5 rings with 2 threepeats and an mlb career short
kevon looney
>>66744402
>mlb career
calling it a career is a disservice to baseball players everywhere.
Not those two fuckers, that's for sure.
>>66744355
>>66744453
>being goat without magical powers
>>66744402
>>66744437
Curry is also a National Championship short of Jordan which he will never get.
>>66745036
If you want to include college careers then Kareem > Jordan
>>66744482
Too bad his magical powers couldn't have him not get shit on by Hakeem lmao.
>buh buh buh he wasn't in his prime yet
lmfao he was in the league for years already you fucking Shaqtards
>>66745099
Shaq averaged something like 29/16/4 on .600 shooting in that finals series
Shaq > Hakeem
Curry's father is still alive. Easy win.
Idk man Well ima tell u no nigga gonna be stealing and killing for shoes called currys lmao ahahahahah
>>66745139
My fucking sides
>>66745108
>completely leaving out Hakeem's nearly identical stats, plus 4 more ppg
>completely leaving out they got fucking swept
>probably in the same fucking breath says "muh rings" regarding any other sporting event ever
Shaqfags, everyone
>>66745179
I never said Shaq was better in that series.
Hakeem had a better series. Shaq had a better career and was a better player.
>>66745050
kareem wasn't even the best player on his team ....
>>66745036
This is an even stupider argument than the people that care about world cup wins when debating the GOAT soccer player. Curry went to fucking Davidson, comparing his lack of a championship there to Jordan at North Carolina is retarded.
>>66744355
>Iggy wins Finals MVP
>marked out the series by Delly
>Curry is the GOAT doe
LOL
Kobe better than both these fools
>>66744402
Jordan never even played in the MLB, he was stuck in the minors.
>>66744355
Why GOAT when he can't even win Finals MVP?
>>66744355
This discussion can only be had when Curry retires. Can Curry win 5 more rings? Possible but I doubt it.
On paper, player by player, Warriors is an inferior team.
But if they played against each other then the Warriors would destroy the '96 Bulls, because of how strategy has evolved, rotation/stamina, general poor defense by older teams except for 1v1 duels (that's all nostalgiafags think of when they talk about "defense").
You have to be at least 30 to have seen most of Jordan's prime, why does everyone here pretend like they knew how good he was?
>>66744355
Only matters if they win in the finals. They probably will, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
>>66747056
older for a good/unbiased memory of it
>>66747035
Even with the same number of rings Jordan was a better shooter and a better defender. Curry hasnt touched Jordan yet. Sounds like you and OP have never even looked at the stats.
>>66747264
>Jordan was a better shooter
whats that m8?
It's gonna be funny to see people try to claim how much the Warriors suck if they lose Wednesday.
Oh no, they only won 72 games, they must be awful! Lel
Not even comparable.
Jordan is GOAT.
>>66747264

>curry 1 v 1
I'd like to see curry making consecutive 3's on mj's prime kek
>>66747451
He regularly does it on better defenders, I don't think he would win one on one though.
>>66747465
Jordan would put a shoulder to Curry & drive the lane all day.
>>66747264

0/10 bait
>>66747465

Curry will never be GOAT because he is only all time elite on one side of the ball. Unlike Jordan, Kareem, Shaw.

Jordan had EIGHT (8) seasons scoring over 30ppg, getting as high as 37ppg one year. Curry has ZERO (0) seasons scoring over 30ppg. Zero.
Jordan was a CAREER 49.7% shooter. Curry is a CAREER 47.7% shooter.
Curry's best season-long shooting pctg was this year, 50.2%. Jordan eclipsed that number SIX TIMES, shooting over 53% in three(3) separate seasons.
Curry's personal game high is 54 points. Jordan once scored 69 points in a game.
All you retards need to do is read something to know that Jordan was better than Curry in nearly every facet of the game.
>>66747983
>using raw FG% to compare shooters
Curry has a .666 TS% this season and his career TS% is .614.
Jordan's career high was .614 TS% and his career TS% was .569
>>66747983
>career 32.7% from 3pt land
>>66748059
>Formula includes free throws
Jordan also was a better defender.
Seriously saying Curry is better because he chucks 3s is like saying Babe Ruth was a better hitter than Ted Williams or Ty Cobb
>>66744402
You opinion is correct.
>>66748143
denying that curry is the best shooter ever is moronic
>>66748143
People aren't saying Curry is better than Jordan, just that Curry is a better shooter than Jordan was. Which is pretty hard to deny
>>66748243
>7-1
>>66748143
>Formula includes free throws
So what? Free throws aren't shooting?
>Jordan also was a better defender.
So what? I'm saying Jordan wasn't half the shooter Curry is, not that Curry is a better defender
>Seriously saying Curry is better because he chucks 3s
He's a better shooter because he chucks 3s and makes them at a ridiculous rate.
>>66748253
It isn't the same kind. It's not defended and is literally called FREE. Walks aren't included in batting averages either.
Jordan is a better PLAYER. I don't give a shit about who's a better shooter.
I do find it hilarious now that it's Jordan vs Curry instead of Jordan vs LeBron
>>66748301
>I don't give a shit about who's a better shooter.

I think Jordan's been replaced tons of times over if you consider the rise of guards in the NBA in the 00s and now early 10s. The argument itself is pointless because the game has changed so much the value of each player isn't contextually the same. Both players would do great if they Freaky Friday'd their eras but you really have to credit the system that was developed for them to be successful in.
>>66753780
Stopped reading after great defender

he is a great defender though
>>66747720

The guy with 6 rings
MJ was an era babby who would get btfo in todays game
>>66747264
Curry is probably the best shooter in the history of the NBA
>>66744402
player Curry has literally not even done 70% of what Jordan did. Too soon to call him the GOAT.4 more titles, 3 more mvp's and like 4 finals mvp's, then we can have this debate.
>>66747451
And I would love to see Curry even attempt to guard Jordan off the dribble or in the post. Curry doesn't even play elite pg's now. How would he handle fucking Jordan?
>>66744355
>then who was GOAT?
Karl-Anthony Towns
>>66747465
>Better defenders
Who the fuck in today's nba is a better defender than Jordan? Try checking his steals, blocks etc. Jordan is a top 10 defender in nba history.
>>66748243
Didn't he lose the fucking 3 point contest to Klay? Steph is indeed one of the best shooters in nba history, but I would still take Miller, Bird or Allen against him head to head. And yes Curry is a better "shooter" than Jordan. However Jordan is a far superior scorer.
>>66753780
>Curry
>great defender
He's average at best, and that's being kind to him.
>>66754111
>Didn't he lose the fucking 3 point contest to Klay?
Yes, he also hit close to 400 3s on the season on .450 3P%.
When someone else manages to get 300 on .400 shooting then we can start having this conversation again.
Do we really want some pale, Uncle Tom ass fruit loop manlet like Curry being the face of the NBA instead of Jordan? I say no. I think most people will always think of Jordan when they think of the NBA and that's how it should stay.
>>66753953
Australia is an era baby. As soon as the world gets flooded with migrants your shitposting reign will be over.
>>66754250
>this """""joke"""""
JUST
Anyone who doesn't think that DeAndre Jordan is the greatest shooter of all time is OBJECTIVELY retarded.
>Source; http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/fg_pct_career.html
They're both shit
>>66754153
I could not agree more. MJ > Caillou Curry. 95/96 Chicago Bulls > 15/16 Golden State Warriors.
>>66744402
curry has not the defensive skills for the 1v1
>>66744355
Curry vs. Jordan:
NBA titles: Curry 1, Jordan 6
NCAA titles: Curry 0, Jordan 1
NBA Finals MVPs: Curry 0, Jordan 6
NBA regular season MVPs: Curry 1, Jordan 5
All-Star selections: Curry 3, Jordan 14
All-NBA first team selections: Curry 1, Jordan 10
All-NBA defensive first team selections: Curry 0, Jordan 9
Scoring titles: Curry 0, Jordan 10
In every major metric possible, Jordan is by far the vastly better player than Curry is. Therefore, it stands to reason that the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls would defeat the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors 5 on 5. Jordan > Curry, and Bulls > Warriors.
>>66755583
agreed. kobe is the real GOAT
>>66756345
Um, no. Jordan is miles better than Kobe.
>>66756163
Anyone that knows basketball knows Jordan is the superior player. Curry has had a great 2 seasons. Having a few good seasons doesn't make you the best player of all time. Curry would need to keep his current play up for like 6-8 more years, before we even have this discussion.
>>66756024
Who has Curry ever locked down? He never even plays the best point guard on opposing teams. Klay always takes elite pg's, while Steph hides on D. The guy isn't a good defender. Sure as fuck not enough to so much as slow someone like Jordan down.
>>66756449
lol ok..even though jordan played in a baby league watered down by expansion teams
>>66756561
I guarantee those expansion teams had better records than the Lakers and 76ers right now! So what is your point?
>>66756583
i disregard any stats or any logic and in my heart kobe is still the GOAT just like curry soon will be
MJ is a far superior player, Bulls is a far superior team.
Bulls would win in 4 not even close
>>66756609
Kobe literally spent his whole career copying MJs likeness, he's like the Vettel to MJs Schumacher
>>66756752
im just acting retarded bro. its obvious jordan is the GOAT
Its either Kareem or MJ, I wont dignify Curry with a response. MJ is more versatile than Kareem. Down 3 pts? Kareem cant make a shot. Kareem cant even bring the ball up the court himself. MJ can drive, post, and pullup. MJ was a better defender than Kareem. MJ played in a tougher era and Kareem had Oscar Roberston and Magic Johnson as his point guard feeding him the ball where as MJ could create on his own.
>>66747042
>Destroy the Bulls lol
>No team with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman playing team defense is getting destroyed. You know who else was on the 96 Bulls? GSW head coach Steve Kerr. Guess who his coach was in 96? That's right Phil Fucken Jackson.
>>66744355
Why do you faggots ask this question every single day. Worst bait ever.
>>66756561
Expansion team W-L records:
1988-89 Miami Heat: 15-67
1988-89 Charlotte Hornets: 20-62
1989-90 Minnesota Timberwolves: 22-60
1989-90 Orlando Magic: 18-64
1995-96 Vancouver Grizzlies: 15-67
1995-96 Toronto Raptors: 21-61
Now the W-L records of the awful teams this season:
2015-16 Los Angeles Lakers: 16-65
2015-16 Philadelphia 76ers: 10-70
So, Michael Jordan played against 4 expansion teams that were just as good or better than the two awful teams this season (the Lakers and 76ers). The NBA wasn't hardly watered down when MJ played in and dominated it.
>Anyone being greater than Michael Jordan
topkek
Some players were somewhat better at specific things, but no one came close to being a complete player and total boss on the court like Jordan was.
>>66747042
>general poor defense
Brazil, why are you even here? Don't you have some water to disinfect before the Summer games? You know nothing about basketball if you think Dennis Rodman, 2x NBA defensive player of the year, 7x all defensive first team, and 7x NBA rebound champion has "poor" defense. Stick to soccer Paco, it's probably more up your dirty alley.

Exactly. This is why Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T. He was legendary in both his scoring abilities and his defensive abilities. Even his biography on NBA.com states: "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time." (here's the URL for that quote: http://www.nba.com/history/players/jordan_bio.html)
Curry will never be better until he is so good that someone forces them self to kill his father.

>>66762508
He has only like 3 years where I would consider him a legit star: '05, '06, and '12. Everything else was above average but not special
