  1. 100% they're not saying he is Jordan, they're talking about his impact on the game whereas people wanted to play like Jordan now people want to shoot like Steph.

  2. Jordan was playing with plumbers but curry is playing against much talented players and beat them he is the goat and am a Kenyan

  3. They didn't give the full context to Kerr's comments here – he was saying that you get fans cheering for Steph on the road and people tuning up in his jerseys at the arenas of opposing teams and the last time Steve saw a crowd reaction on the road to a player like that it was when he was playing with MJ.

  4. NO FREAKING WAY IS CURRY ANYWHERE FROM TOUCHING MJ’s GREATNESS UNLESS HE WINS 2 MORE FINALS. MJ 🐐

  5. Just as we will never see another MJ, we will never see another Curry, even though they are completely different players

  6. I would say he's a better Jordan, as an ambassador and the face of NBA. Jordan has his gambling party and attitude while Curry is just Curry. He's not a fake nice guy

  7. Curry will never be MJ. He will always be himself. Different eras. No comparison. I like Curry but the media needs to stop comparing players. They both are great! I saw MJ from 1991-8 play.

  8. Curry Has the Highest Win % in Nba History made a 450M$ forgot about franchise a billion dollar Relevant one and a Dynasty and his games Have Some of The Highest Views In Nba History, Dominated his Era and both won 70+ games in a season before… They have a Lot in Common Outside of Defense and Curry one of the most known NBA Players for ppl Who don't even watch basketball

  9. MJ appealed to everybody bc of his primal competitive status and winning, Curry is just a normal dude and he hasn't even won that much, he has a history of scking in playoffs.
    Even the bulls jerseys are aggressive, warriors design is ugly.

  10. Watching Steph is fun for all fans, watching MJ makes opposing fans want to watch baseball instead (Supersonics fan)

  11. Comparison should not be done . However I hv seen MJ play n also Stephen Curry both are incredible giants of the game n champion leaders in their individual spectrum. It would be fair to call Curry a modern day great n a living basketball legend . An beyond doubt one of the greatest basketball shooter in the all time list .

  12. Steph is greatest PG of all time honestly . Yea Magic has 5 rings but Curry would light him up fr

  13. It's comparing apples to oranges yes Stephen is a icon but I think access of the NBA worldwide now Jordan is known worldwide without internet basically I'm saying Jordan was like MJ or Beatles Stephen more like YoungBoy or Beyonce I mean they all great but being icon back then was just different

  14. A thousand times yes he took over a generation of basketball from the most talented athlete to ever walk the planet in lebron and made the genetics based game of height size and athleticism about skill dedication and efficiency in under a season in 2016 all while being incredibly humble but still being the best player at his position and top 2 or 1b to magic Johnson depending on preference of play style….and he’s still in his prime at his year 33 age he might win 3 more titles making him the best guard ever and most efficient player with the most effective shot on the court…there is no case to refute this as all of these are facts with one being a potential upside to his greatness. Steph is the most impactful player to basketball since mj bar none as you’ve never had to check a guy 90 feet potentially all game before until he came along as he makes half court shots look like layups

  15. Like it or not he is the new MJ, you got to play his game to even stand a chance at winning a game, you got prepare a full scheme just to slow him down, pray for his downfall and most of all not facing him healthy
