Too early too say. But I would definitely consider him over Stockton and Kobe if ge keeps this up.

He would be the greatest of all time if he keeps this up and wins a ring

nearly 40ppg 7 ast 5 rebs on 76% TS and 650 WS48...crazy stuff.

Comparing him to only guards and forwards and I don't think he makes top 5. Forget about including centers.

1. MJ
2. Magic
3. Bird
4. Dr. J
5. Bernard King

Now include players I have not seen play. Oscar Robertson, Clyde Frazier, Earl the Pearl.

Bernard King?

You don't like Bernard?

top five? are you insane?

19 pt quarter might have just scored 12pts in a row off of stls, 3s, 3 pt plays

Around the back, perfect fast break bounce pass.

Curry just made a ridiculous pass

I think we may need a curry sticky. We may be watching one of the most historic seasons in the NBA

Not counting centers. Also..I said players I have seen. So start from the 80s and up. Ohhh...I had a brain fart. Replace Bernard with LeDouche. You can also replace Dr. J with Kobe.

I might plug in Shaq, Duncan and Garnett before I get to Kobe.

Id like to see 1 player in the last 40 years who has avg 34-7-5-3 with an efg that is almost 75% over ANY straight 5 game stretch. MJ didnt do that. I can hear the argument of longevity+ consistency--but right now what we are watching now today I believe may nba 1 of the top 5 players ALL TIME and EASILY todays best player by a very good margin. If anyone had a first pick of a player they'd take Curry.

I'll hold off on Curry being a top five player but . . . I do think he stands out for making everyone around him significantly better, for having the most impact on a team of any player I've seen and . . . he's still getting better. I can't think of any player who manages the game better, Jordan, say, might take Curry one-on-one but Curry's on court coaching/strategy skills are perhaps better than, say, Frazier and Nash.
