I'll be curious to see all of their individual ratings. Klay is a better shooter while Jimmy is better defender and creator.

Well let's see. Lebron, Kd, Anthony Davis, James harden, Westbrook, Chris Paul all have a legit argument they are better. Blake griffin was amazing in the playoff with his passing, and Kawai Leonard really outplayed him in that game agianst the Spurs in San Antonio. Kyrie Irving put up similar stats, put up 55 vs the Spurs. Demarcus cousins and Marc gasoline are forces to reckon with. That's 11, that at least are at that level. Not saying he's right, but it's not a redicous reach.

If Curry and LeBron are the only players out of all the players you mentioned to win league MVP and a ring in the same season then the discussions needs to end there. One person won the league MVP but didn't sniff the Finals that season and already lost to Lebron in his only Finals appearance, another won the Finals MVP but never made an All-Star team or won league MVP so. I mean, Andre Igoudala just won the Finals MVP, that damn sure don't make him a better player than Curry.

No. Just...no.

Steph is a top-3 ball handler (with Paul and Kyrie) and the best shooter in the league by a WIDE margin. He is, at worst, the third-best player in the league right now, depending on Durant's foot. LeBron is still better, partially because of his ability to play in the post and guard multiple positions, but Curry bends the defense like no one else in basketball, maybe ever.

I'm never a fan of comparing players of different positions especially something like a PG to Center. It's difficult to say that one player is definitively better than the other because the responsibilities and play styles are going to be fudamentally different. Saying something like AD or Cousins is better than Curry just feels weird to me because I don't see how you can fairly compare the players.

It's like when people would argue between who was better on the Lakers Kobe or Shaq. We are talking two complete different players that are both great at what they do and both players could individually change a game.

Championships are based on a lot of things like team talent, coaching, injury luck, cohesiveness.....

And just for fun look at Kevin Durants numbers in his mvp year, look at Ad numbers this year, he had a 30 Per. Harden was voted mvp by the players, and he got that rockets team without Dwight for a lot of time to the second seed. Westbrook had ridiculous numbers for depleted Okc. Chris Paul is a the best defensive pg and the best floor general.

Curry played on the best team on the league, ( as shown by iggy winning finals mvp) sat a bunch of 4 q ect. All I'm saying is there's like 7-8 players who on any game can look like the best player in the league, so what that guy said was not a big stretch to me

I can pretty easily be talked away from DeRozan at 6 (because yeah he's not that efficient and had a down year) in favor of Danny Green or Wes Matthews (pre-injury) or Kyle Korver or Redick or Allen/Iggy if you want the defense. But if you're saying Kobe should be at 6, then no. Kobe was a bad basketball player by almost any advanced or traditional metric last season and can't stay healthy. His usage rate is second highest in NBA which allows him to maintain a solid assist percentage, but overall he's clearly not elite anymore, even at a weak position.
