That last statement is actually misleading. The only thing one could "reasonably" say is that Curry may have had a better offensive season THIS YEAR.
The reality is, LeBron's had had 10 seasons in which he BLOWS away Curry's best season, and, he had had 10 seasons in which Curry will NEVER match.
You can write off LeBron if you want to. He is still the best player in the NBA, he is still better than Curry, and one season doesn't change that.
What in God's name is misleading about it? How much more clear could that statement possibly be? Here it is again:
"One could reasonably argue that Curry is currently a better offensive player than LeBron."
...and after calling you out for creating straw men twice, you decide to create another one?
"You can write off LeBron if you want to..."
When the fuck did I say anything that would you lead you to believe that I am writing off LeBron James? What the fuck are you even talking about?
Saying that Curry is currently a better offensive player than LeBron is simply not true. He had a better season statistically, but one season doesnt make facts.
In your opinion. And, if you remember correctly, I said " a reasonable argument could be made," which is a far cry from "it's a lock."
Curry was better statistically (thank you for finally admitting that), and one could reasonably argue he's the better offensive player. It's debatable. You can make a strong argument for LeBron, you can make a strong argument for Steph.
Also, let's not pretend like Curry is a flash in the pan this season. He broke his own NBA record for made 3's while shooting an outstanding .443 from deep, and he's finished 6th in assists two years in a row...while also serving as his team's primary ball handler, distributor, and scorer.
Like I've been saying the
entire thread, LeBron is the best player in the game, but one could argue that Curry is currently the better offensive player. That is all.
