Top 25? well I still doubt that. Since it's next to impossible for him to do that for two more seasons. Top 50 is certain, but I doubt top 25

If he wins two more rings averaging 20+ppg, he'd be in top 20. And you know this is very likely going to happen. You think LeBron winning one more ring didn't take him to top 5? LeBron would be fighting top 10 if he lost last season.

Ray Allen is better than Reggie Miller. Miller is just a Klay Thompson veteran in my opinion. Curry's last 2 seasons are better than Miller's career ejoor. E be like say you no know how many records that boy and the team break in just two years, his clutch shots sef. The only reason analysts are putting Miller higher na the 3 point record.

Other players saving grace na Durant wey go drop Curry form. Make Curry just play last season again or 2 more times, win ring, no surprise if you see am for top 10..

I have defended Curry's talent on this thread numerous times, however, i am being pragmatic when i say, until Curry replicates his regular season dominance in the post season where all time greats are made, i would not replace Reggie Miller with Curry or have him in my top 25.

We may as well include James Harden on that list if Curry is that great to be a top 25.

I desperately want to go into specifics in this argument but its a subjective topic that divides opinion.

Curry dominates in playoffs. The NBA ish is the finals.

Check his stats 2 years running from conference rounds up to wcf, you'd see he plays better than everybody even James. He loses his touch in the finals. This is where your subjectivity comes into play

If we go by that logic,
Durant hasn't done enough to be on that list then too.

Please who can tell me what KD is doing on that list?? Melo should have taken that position.

I feel kobe is ranked low. But after looking at 1-8 again. kobe cant be ranked above anyone there. So he should be at the 9th spot.


How come the ranked Reggie and Dirk above Charles barkley. A40 shey Dirk better pass Barkley grin??

Allen Iverson should have also been on list, they can take away Wade but Allen deserves a spot on that list.

Guys, is that list ok to you or some players dont deserve some spot on that list??

Only God knows the index used to rate the players...however kevin does not belong on that list......and melo is a capital NO....good offense....however....he his poor defensively and also his team hardly goes to the playoffs....which is suppose to be the big boys dance.....I think shaq is arguably the most dominant center in recent time....but the greatest is kareem.....i dont know what wilt played like but i know shaq was a handfull,ask dikembe mutombo....i guess the only person that could mark shaq comfortably that i remember was ben wallace..... My iverson is not on the list.....quite painfull....freak of nature he was.....

You just one vex people. cheesy

Reggie Miller doesn't do much for me,
He plays like JJ reddick,running around screen for 20sec before he finds an open shot. I dont like that as my first option on offence.
i get what ou are saying....however...you have to remember that reggie was not a point guard.....which automatically translate to offence not starting with him.....and second point.....reggie cast can not be compared to curry caste o........the golden state warriors team is so deep....so that means it would be easier to take shoots o......and their are alot of shooters on the team......so you can not cheat.....

When has Fox ever come up with anything sensible bar The Simpsons

When I see David Robinson ahead of Dirk, Stockton, Pippen, Malone I have to question the mental health condition of the compiler of this sh!t list

Btw K.D better than Melo at scoring and on defense. Pretty much everything

Lmaoooo Kobe at 12. LeBron at 2. Why didn't they kuku put LeBron at 1. Awon oniranu

Curry is one hell of a shooter I wont argue about that but I feel he hasn't maintained his level of play long enough to be considered the best shooter. Reggie Miller and Ray Allen were great shooters for a longer period of time... If he can perform the way he did last season for two more seasons, then he can be in the top 50 grin

Ooh Mpa thought after Cavs ring, this geh will take it easy on Curry sef cry


Reggie doesn't cut 25 as well as Curry. However, if you do a top 50, Curry should be ahead of Reggie and behind Allen. Yes, Curry right now is in top 50. Playing longer doesn't translate better especially if you ain't consistent.

Same thing goes for Durant. CP3 should be ahead of Durant in any list.

All these while playing PG and you still won't allow him? If it was Klay with all those records we'd say he mostly feed off Curry's hustle but here is Curry who makes up most of these shots himself. Aunty this season you must calm down, all Curry needs to do this season and next season is to show up in the playoffs. But so far, you shouldn't compare his Regular Season performanbig most PGs and yes don't worry, he'll show up in the Playoffs since he doesn't have to worry about fatigue from epic regular season performances.

Curry has changed the game everywhere in the world, it's a new revolution with his stellar shooting. Go to the park and you'd see guys working on handles and range even big men.

Re: The Draymond and Paul Pierce quanta. I side with Draymond over Paul Pierce the hypocrite. When the originators of the superteam formation. Barkley (joining Olajuwon, Drexler) and Pierce (K.G & Allen) are joining to condemn Durant, I'm sorry I can't take them seriously. If it were say a Malone, Dirk, Stockton, Webber dishing the criticism I for still hear but Pierce's defense is invalid and highly hypocritical.

I no really send pre-season like that. Not caught up on any of the games

Looking to see what Justin Anderson and Powell can deliver as well. Seth Curry has always had talent, motivation has been his issue

Cautiously optimistic this year. The general consensus is Los Mavs are not a playoff team but I trust Rick to pull a rabbit out the hat. From 4th to 8th seed is open season IMO

I think Rudy Gay would have been better, but we have nothing to trade for him. Would have been way better.

With his level of play, if he continues, We are going to end up amnestying this guy.
