The final list

LeBron James’ statistics indicate that he is a much better overall basketball player. While Jordan scored more overall, LeBron is a more efficient player, shooting better from two and three-point range. LeBron is also a much better passer and rebounder than Jordan ever was.

Scoring Ability Kobe Bryant has more career points than Michael Jordan, but Jordan was the better scorer between the two. Highlighted by his NBA record 10 scoring titles, Jordan also averaged 30.1 points per game. Let me also mention that Jordan’s scoring average is 5.1 points more than Bryant.

Michael Jordan

Jordan

LeBron James is Far From Finished but Fourth NBA Title Cements G.O.A.T. Status.

Although Steph Curry has quite the NBA resume, that’s not enough for Ray Allen. In a recent interview, the veteran sharpshooter said that Reggie Miller, not Curry, is the GOAT shooter in basketball history.

The debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James for the title of “Greatest of All Time” has raged since James’ ascent in the NBA. But according to ESPN’s Michael Wilbon, Michael Jordan is a big fan of James, rather than seeing him as a rival.

Lebron James is not just better than Curry, he’s much better. Lebron even averages more points despite Curry being the better shooter. If Curry has a bad shooting night, generally that’s it for him. Lebron could score 10 points and still lead his team to victory.

The statistics can clearly show you, who’s better between the two players. Curry has better shooting skills because his shooting percentage is higher than Kyrie Irving’s. Even though Irving managed to outshine Curry in one of the NBA championships finals, Curry has better records and stats than Irving.

Kevin Durant was undoubtedly better than Stephen Curry as per Stephen A. “Kevin Durant was the best player on the Golden State Warriors. There has not been a time when Kevin Durant was a worse player than Steph Curry,” he said. “Curry is the best shooter we have ever seen in our lives.

NBA Team Rankings

Why LeBron James is greater than Steph Curry, according to a 3-time NBA champion. LeBron James is greater than Steph Curry, according to the man tasked with defending him in the 2007 NBA Finals.

Curry already is the best player under 6-foot-3 in NBA history. He passed Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Isiah Thomas and Jerry West during his meteoric rise to the top of the game. He’s already, according to my very scientific list, a top 20 all-time player.

Stephen Curry is the best player in the NBA. As a two-time MVP, a three-time champion, the greatest shooter of all time and the engine of a record 73-win team, Curry’s resume is loaded. He had the most efficient volume scoring season ever. He has the highest multiyear offensive player impact plus-minus in the league.

Kobe was a phenomenal player and a cultural icon. He scored a mountain of points, but he didn’t impact winning to the same degree Curry does. Over the course of Curry’s career, the Warriors’ net rating is a whopping 11.5 points better when he’s on the floor: to minus-2.58.

The Bottom Line: While LeBron is much more of a team player than Kobe, and is more dominant and holds better stats, Kobe was a more versatile and complete player, a virtuoso with amazing skills and defense abilities.

Common logic is that Kobe is a better scorer than LeBron, but the statistical evidence refutes that claim. Kobe boasts a healthy career average of 25.2 ppg, but LeBron flaunts an extraordinary career average of 27.7 ppg.

Shockingly, the next year, Harden got even better. Curry’s numbers might not top Harden’s, but his impact on the NBA will be ever-lasting. Steph is a 6-time All-Star and 3-time All-NBA First Team selection. He has career averages of 23.5 points, 6.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds.
