He's a better ball handler as well, and who the better passer is is debatable.

I think a reasonable argument could be made for Steph being the better offensive player, but that's about it. Steph has made himself into an average defensive player overall and an excellent pick-pocket, but LeBron has the ability to impact the game tremendously on the defensive side of the ball (guarding 1-4 if need be).

Overall, LeBron is definitely the better player, and still the best player in the league.

Better offensive player now vs current Lebron, maybe. But Lebron in his prime on offense was easily Curry's superior.

How far is LeBron from his offensive prime right now, in your estimation? He's still explosive as hell athletically, the improvement to his jumper plateaued years ago (he improved it a ton from his early years but then it kind of leveled off), etc.

Last season was arguably as good as any offensive season he's ever had...

For anyone to sit here and say that Curry is a better offensive player than LeBron is laughable.

LeBron just being on the court had the Bulls fearing for their lives over Jame freaking Jones lol.

Stop with the nonsense. Curry is a hell of a shooter, and he is a very good player, but offensively, defensively, intangables, whatever you want to discuss, LeBron is better. Curry shoots the 3 ball better, but it ends right there.

Well he has obviously dropped off since then. 48% shooting is great, but it's not the 55% (give or take) he was putting up in Miami.

I think a little of that has to do with joining a new team that relies on him more, new system/coach, and being injured earlier in the year.

Do you really think that his "prime" officially ended last year and he's a substantially inferior offensive player today than he was a year ago?

If not, then I don't really see how you can say that "prime LeBron" was better offensively than Curry, but "current LeBron" might not be.

I'm not trying to bust your balls here, I just don't see where you're coming from on this one.

So LeBron is a better ball handler than Curry? A better jump shooter (non-3 ball)?

LeBron is a better offensive player. Not only do the stats bear that out, but watch a game.

If you want to tell me that Curry might beat LeBron in the Skills challenge at the all-star break, I won't argue. But, LeBron has a scoring title, and, other than his rookie season right out of high school has never averaged less than 25 points a game, and Curry hasn't even done that once...even with all of the 3's he shoots at a very high percentage.
Curry is a good passer, but he simply doesn't have the vision and the court awareness LeBron has. And, for as good as Curry is, he simply doesn't get the attention from opposing defenses like LeBron does.
Curry has a LONG way to go before his fans can start ranking him ahead of LeBron lol.

His first finals he shot 39%.

Second finals broke the record for biggest drop off in point production from regular season averaging 17ppg and 2ppg in the 4th quarters where most of the games were close. 2ppg!

3rd finals had spurts and got his numbers but could not stop Kawhi Leonard, was not impactful in close games, and as a team we all know they broke numerous records for failure including biggest finals point differential and highest opponent fg% of all time. You give him credit for making the finals, but he wouldn't have got out the first round in the west. Making the finals should not be considered any kind of an accomplishment if you obviously weren't even a top 5 team.

This year Warriors will run a train on him and you'll still act like making the finals is a great achievement, even though a rational mind knows he wouldn't make it out of the first round in the west with that team this year.
LeBron has 2 titles kiddo.

Curry's current Warriors team won 67 games. LeBron's teams never won more than 66.

Therefore Curry>LeBron

Yes, Im aware that at age 30 Lebron won two titles on a megastacked team that included a former finals MVP who averaged 35ppg in the 2006 finals and put up the same numbers as lebron when he was in his prime as lead dog.

2 titles is great. Certainly top 15 all time. Curry has potential to win more than two titles, with less help, and make it to the top ten. Potential.
In every aspect...stats, accolades, accomplishments, success, whatever you want to look at, LeBron is superior to Curry. Your passion is compelling, but you are full of shit.

Curry had better stats this year. LEbron has had a longer career to rack up more accomplishments. Curry wins a title this year and he's already half way there, and probably a favorite to repeat next year and already tie Lebron at a younger age.

The most important accomplishment/accolade/whatever is titles. Curry just needs two to tie lebron. With two, i would rank him ahead of lebron because i dont believe he has nearly as much help.
Says who? You lol?

LeBron had a "down" year, and he is still right there with Curry's "career" year.

Doesn't matter if he plays in the east. When he steps on the court, against an Eastern team or a Western team, no other player in the league gets the attention, and gameplanning he gets.
I understand your agenda of not giving LeBron credit with the way he has ruined the Bulls fanbases lives, and I understand why the Kobe Kids want to take away from the guy as well.
What I don't get is ahow a Warrior fan can come in here and proclaim Curry a better player lol.
