lebron, durant or curry

Always talk about durant and lebron. But really lebron when both finish careers will be better than curry? Jordan sure always will be the best but.... who think about curry and lebron?

If Curry can win match Lebron in MVP and win a couple more rings i think i would put him over Lebron but im biased. Curry has been playing out of this world so far. The thing is Lebron been great pretty much his entire career. Right now Lebron career looks better but once its all said and done, i think Curry will be in that convo as a top 15-20 player ever.

I want to see Curry do this for a couple more season before I put him in that category. Granted if you forced me to answer I would say he will finish among those players since he is on course and not exactly old either. Lol That said LeBron will be the better 'skilled' player when all is said and done, since that's what I rank best player ever as. It goes, Jordan, Kobe, Big O, then LeBron for me.

I have a hard time believing Curry is going to finish with a better career than either unless they threepeat, or Curry has yet another gear above what he's already showing.

LeBron is just more consistent at this point of his career, I mean he's been the best player in the league for like 5-7 years since Kobe repeated with LA.
Curry now surely looks better than LBJ but he's only looked that good for 1-2 seasons so far, so he needs a couple more championships to take the leap and best LeBron as the best player of his generation.

Though one thing I believe all of us have to agree..
LeBron is just different because he reunites a lot of skill into one of the most athletic bodies to ever step in the earth. But he hasn't so far re-invented the NBA, I mean, he's pretty unique.
Curry on the other hand, he's like MJ. MJ was the one that mastered the mid-range game and took the scoring from the post to the perimeter. Now Curry has mastered both handling and long range shooting, re-inventing NBA once again with his Warriors (of course, not only by him, but not even MJ did it all by himself).

The difference is that in LeBron's case he turns a below average team into a contender. Yeah he has Kyrie with him, but I can't even remember when he was fully healthy the last time. Not saying that curry doesn't, but the great team he has around him makes it a lot easier for steph. Their bigs are great defender, Klay spreads the floor and Green is a super unique talent and creates a lot for Steph. Not saying that curry couldn't put up numbers like that on every other team, but having those guys around definitely makes it a lot easier. To cut a long story short, I think it is hard to compare as they are in different situations.

If you replace Curry with an average to good point guard (I'll even allow someone like Kyle Lowry who at his best is borderline all-star) the Warriors are not a playoff team in the West. Curry makes that train run. All of the rub plays, the double and triple screens that free Klay up are because of Curry's presence. I don't know what you mean by the team creates for Curry a lot? If you mean the ball-screens that any other team could run for him im not tracking.

different situations, and the finals proved that once the Warriors went small LeBron's team didn't belong on the court. Contender is a loose word when used in the East, in my opinion.
