 He’s having a phenomenal season… What do you guys think?

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 Depends how long he can stay healthy and keep playing at this level but I would say it would be highly unlikely that he will have a complete career that will surpass jordan. Sure he is playing at an insane level right now but he is already 27-28 years old. How much longer will his prime last, especially given his history of ankle problems. You also have to remember that his first 3 years in the league were pretty unremarkable. I think it’s way too early to have that discussion.

According to Magic Johnson Steph "has a chance to be the greatest player we’ve ever seen, if he plays at this level for the next 4-5yrs!"

It’s not going to be easy to do that though. Four or five more years of averaging 30 PPG, and being the best player in the league on the best team in the league. But yes if he does end up winning 5 or 6 championships to go along with 5 or 6 NBA MVPs then he’ll certainly be in the discussion.

That being said his career numbers will probably pale in comparison to players like MJ and Lebron. He wasn’t statistically dominant until he was about 25, and now in his prime he’s logging less than 34 mins a game (while guys like MJ, Kobe and Lebron averaged between 38 and 40+ MPG for a decade or more).

His career averages will definitely work against any GOAT talk including him.

 Curry is going to be 28 in the next few weeks. His skillset and game will continue into his 30’s and possibly the next 10 years. Curry doesn’t rely on athleticism and his game is based on skill with the basketball and shooting which doesn’t diminsh with age. He is special and has a chance to be one of the all time greats.

[BiggaveliiiParticipant]

 The thing with Curry’s game is that its built to last. Hes not as athletic as lebron and those type of players thus meaning he doesnt need rely on his hops and strength to score. The dude just needs to continue shooting and doing his thing. I think everyone knows when you age the first thing to go is your athleticism.

[Dazzling Dunks and Basketball BloopersParticipant]

 True. I don’t think his shooting ability will diminish with age but his quickness and ability to get shots off over defenders will.  It’s not like he’s a standstill shooter or a guy that is big enough to just shoot over guys like Dirk.  He’ll have to adjust his game and use his smarts to gain separation from defenders more as his quickness starts to go. It will be interesting to see how he makes that adjustment.

I’m not on the pro GOAT side here that’s MJ all day every day. He made every sports fan in the world a basketball fan and was close to the most recognizable person on the planet.

However; in regards to the statement his shooting won’t diminish but the ability to get the shot off quickly will; you then have to remember he can hit from 6 feet behind the arc, there’s not too many defenders close checking out there. But as I say that wont make him GOAT it’s just going to make it fun for us all to watch for quite a few years to come. Also his shooting can’t stay at this level for ever, golf is the least athletic sport going around but there swing still diminishes with age.

if you put magic or bird during their peak on the current 76’ers ..who will have a bigger impact,1 of those guys or curry?  to me the answer will be bird or magic….

 or even if u switched lebron to the warriors and curry to the cavs,whose team would be better? i say the warriors.

[lalailaParticipant]

 While I don’t think he will be GOAT. He can easily be top10 and lock that unsure 2nd best point guard alltime place if he plays similar level next 5years.

Saying the same level I don’t say its 5MVPs in the row and 5rings ( even this year ring is not guaranteed still)

but it would be hard to argue against him if he goes like three straight 30ppg season, then starts to play slower but smarter and goes for something like 27/10 and still contending

[JDB12Participant]

 The reason I think he could be the GOAT, or at least top 2 or 3 all-time is because of his style of play. He doesn’t rely on his athleticism. His game is based around his intangables, mental game, shooting, passing and ball handling which are all skills that don’t really age. So if he can stay healthy, I can see him sticking around the league playing good basketball until 35 or so.

[Memphis MadnessParticipant]

 Maybe, he can be the BEST guy in a league that is peaking.

I think the Warriors need to get 73 wins this year.  Then if they win the title they will be halfway to a 4peat — which hasn’t been done since the Bill Russell days.

THEN we can start talking.

 Curry’s campaign is the GOAT is extrememy premature as he’s only put up great numbers for the past two seasons.  What made all of the all time greats, great, was their ability to play at a dominant level over the course of many seasons. As others have said, if he can keep this level up for about 8 more years, then we can begin the GOAT discussion. Until then, the discussion isn’t valid.  Also i think his athleticism is being underappreciated.  While he doesn’t sprint from end to end with the best or jump as high as others, his quickness with the ball, lateral agility, and body control are all elite and allow him to be not just a shooter but a dominant scorer and playmaker. He doesn’t rely on his athleticism, but the athletic skills he possesses separates him from being just a great scorer to a dominant one.

 I agree that Curry is no where near the defender MJ was and that is the sticking point for me in Curry not being in GOAT talks, but to say Curry isn’t a complete scorer is dumb. He’s one of the most efficient players in the league inside the arc, the last 2 years he has become much more than just a long range threat, he can score from anywhere.

[True_JafiParticipant]

It’s tough to say. He will soon be 28. Steph has great quickness which helps him gets his shots off and get to the rim. Once he hits his 30’s some of that quickness will go away. Lebron already started to lose some of it and you notice it (yet he is still an dominant force). Steph jump shot will always be there so it will only depend on his quickness

Best shooter of all time? Absolutely. Best player of all time? Not even close. Maybe top 15 of all time. Offensive/scoring numbers could sneak into the top 5 conversation if he keeps his play up. 

His health will be the decisive factor here.

Yes, Curry does have a tremendous impact on the game. It is evident in his current all-time great PER of 32 for this season. He benefits from other great teammates and a fantastic system. He also benefits playing in an era where shooting is at a premium. He is a a great player no doubt, but I don’t believe he will be the Goat or a top 10 player all-time when his career finishes. In my opinion, the goat needs to not only be a dominant offensive player, but a dominant defensive player as well. Although his defense has improved since when he first came into the league, he is nowhere near the defender that other recent greats were. Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, Duncan are all top 10-15 guys for sure. Those guys were all multiple all-defensive team standouts. Curry will never even touch that list. There are a few more reasons why I don’t think Curry will be near Goat status, but defense is the first thing I think of that really holds him back.

 With a few more rings, he will be in the discussion. He will never be the all around Ayer MJ was but he is certainly revolutionizing the game and doing stuff no one has seen before. He’ll be able to play into his late 30’s, even as just a spot up shooter.

 to me it’s a big NO.

magic johnson’s comment saying that if curry played at this level for the next 4-5 years he could have a chance at being the goat is just so stupid..and it just shows how big his mouth is and how eager he is for dethroning jordan as the GOAT..(call it envy)

let’s see..

to me, if you want to be the GOAT or aspire to be, you need the next 3 conditions:

1. you have to be the best on BOTH sides of the floor: that’s why bill russell could never be considered the goat, even with 11 rings and even if considered the best defensive player of all time, and that’s why espn ranked him nº7 on that list..truth is russell was a mediocre offensive player, with no moves and only shot a 44% FG in an era where centers average height was only 6’8-6’9, while he was 6’10 and a freak of nature..

2. you need to have individual and collective acomplishments: and you have to reflect that individual dominance into rings..that’s why wilt chamberlain is not considered the goat and was nº5 on the espn list, even with that season of 50pts/25rb or that 100 pts game..the thing is he "only" won 2 rings and the celtics is not an excuse..chamberlain also played 5 years with the lakers with players like jerry west, elgin baylor or goodrich..that’s a hell of a team..bob petit beat the celtics in the finals with a worse team.. the goat has to overcome any circumstance..

3. you need to be not only a style of play changer but a game changer: oscar robertson, doctor j, magic johnson, bird, olajuwon, iverson, garnett or lebron have been "style of game" changers but not game changers..game changers make league to change rules or style of play because of their dominance..only a handful of players have been game changers in history and those are mikan, chamberlain, kareem, shaq and jordan…and that’s why lebron cannot be at nº3 on that all time list ahead of chamberlain..at least with today’s accomplishments(acctually with his accomplishments he shouldn’t even be ahead of magic..)..people always mention chamberlain as the most dominant player because of his stats and the fact that the league had to widen the zone from 12 to 16 feet but i think shaq was even more influential and not because of the hack a shaq rule but because zone defense was introduce in the league because oh him..

but to me the most influential player in history has been MJ..he absolutely changed the game and after retiring he made the league change rules so many times to space the floor and make defenses weaker(hand check,3 second rule) to make things easier to players..as a result, the modern basketball of bigs playing outside like SF and the lack of great centers is a consequence of those changes..and as a result players cannot be touched and they go to the lane 30 times a game like harden..from 1956(nba 1st mvp) to 1980 the league was dominated by centers and all the mvp awards but 2 went to centers..the 80’s were dominated by magic and larry but both played next to great bigs..the bad boy are the only exception to that and then MJ arrived and changed the history of bigs dominance winning 6 rings(while retiring 2 times) in the golden era of centers and defense..it was like david against goliath..plus he made basketball pure art in the most dificult conditions in an era dominanted by defenses and muscle with contact allowed..i think people still don’t realize what jordan did and the circumstances he made them..

in think it’s too early to talk about curry‘s position in the all time ranking because we still don’t know how many rings or mvp’s he’ll get, but, even if he won 4-5 more rings and a few more mvp’s, to me, he could never be considered the GOAT because he doesn’t apply for those 3 points i’ve mentioned..he would only apply to point nº 2 and maybe for nº3..but he would not apply for point nº1 and that is: he is not a top defender; he’s only the best on one side of the floor so that is just half way of being the GOAT..

to me, in the hypothetical case he won 4-5 more rings/mvp’s, the highest spot he could claim in the all time ranking would be top 3-5.

 It’s really nice post and I agree that defense can be what Curry needs to fully dominate, but your main point works against your self.

I mean you talk about how important for great player to be game changer.

Stephen Curry absolutely changes the game with his shot, everybody wants to shoot threes like crazy now, Cuban think 3pt dintance should be longer, so many legends are either jealous or simply doesnt understang how this 12 year old looking guy can dominate this game.

Jordan, Chamberlain, etc. were dominant for 10+ years. Most people consider those type of guys the greatest. However, Curry IS having one of the most unstoppable seasons. He and a few others might have 4-5 years (he’s in year 2) of being absolutely unstoppable. He might not end up with the most prestigious career, but does he have too? Frankly, if you consider Steph Curry GOAT, you should consider Shaquille O’Neal. For a 6 or 7 year stretch, no one could stop him and they had to change the rules to slow him down. Then he stopped working and got and fat and slow. 

Point being: you can’t say best career, but I think being the greatest can go to a player who really rocks 4 or 5 years. I think if Curry maintains this for 3 more years, he should be in consideration.

Steph looks likely to repeat his MVP success of last year but to be considered GOAT, he’d need to win at least 5 and probably at least the same amount of titles. Given that he turns 28 this month that would be a big ask and also he’s only just passed 10,000 career points so he’ll probably not get much past say 22,000 career points if he plays for another 6/7 years at a high level.

I’m a huge Curry fan and would be first to vote for him as MVP again, he may be the best 3 point shooter ever but I cannot consider him to be GOAT unless he repeated his form of the last 2 seasons across at least the next 5 years.
