Stephen Curry is...

[PAOerfulone]

No he's not.
As much as A.I. was not afraid to take it straight to the hole and absorb contact, Curry is not afraid to pull up from 35 and swish it right between the defender's eyes.
And naturally you're going to average 10 free throws a game when you're that small driving into the post where the giant trees await.
But let me ask you this:
If A.I. takes 20 free throws, and Steph takes 20. Who has the best chance at making all of them?
You don't think Steph could average 10 free throws a game if he wanted to? And I'd bet you money that if he did, he'd still be shooting above 90% as opposed to A.I.'s 80%.
He's just as deadly inside the paint as he is behind the arc, he is capable of drawing contact and converting And-One opportunities.
But he doesn't do that because that's not where he's deadliest. When he's behind the arc is where he's going to kill you, and he knows it.

And A.I. was never the game-changer that Curry is. That one year he led the Sixers to the Finals (also helps when you've got a guy who won Defensive Player of the Year, named Dikembe Mutumbo locking down the paint) , who did they have to play against in the East?
All of the best teams in the league at the time were out West, (Lakers, Kings, Spurs) During that year, seeds 1-7 in the West had over 50 wins each. The top 3 seeds in the East, (Sixers, Bucks, Heat) were the only teams above 50 wins.
Looking at the West's top 3 and the East's top 3. Could the Bucks or the Heat honestly top the Lakers or Spurs in a 7 game series? The West at that time was far superior to the East it wasn't even funny
A.I. and company had an easy road to the Finals, and what happened when they got their? They got lucky in Game 1, and then they got handled the next 4 games by a significantly superior Lakers team led by Shaq and Kobe.
Whereas look at the havoc that the Steph and the Warriors are recking upon the league, they're doing it while having 3 of their 4 biggest threats to repeat in the same conference, (Spurs, Clippers, Thunder). Funny thing is that in any other year, those 3 teams would be the absolute favorites, head and shoulders above the other teams to emerge from the Western Conference and fight for the NBA Title. The Warriors have faced those 3 teams 6 times this year, they're 6-0, and in 4 of those games Curry went off. He single handedly destroyed the Spurs' #1 rated defense back in January, and what he just did to the Thunder is something that the Thunder and their fans are going to have an extremely difficult time bouncing back from.

Curry is better than Iverson.... and I think Iverson knows it:
