Who is currently the best NBA player, LeBron or Curry.

That's easy. Curry. He does everything with class. LeBron, on the other hand, cannot even spell "class".

I think it's pretty cool that he's biracial too. He could be s symbol of racial unity.

He's as black as Obama.

Best player not classiest player. Lebron has a fine attitude. Certainly better than Bryant.

Curry just dropped 51 points.

He is the best!

The answer is easily Lebron

Curry is a fantastic offensive player, but can't play D or rebound like Lebron. Lebron has a few rings also.

Just watched Lebron play. I have to say he is NOT the Lebron of old.

He used to be a 6' 8", 260 lb guy who moved like a 6' 0", 190 lb guy. Now he is a 6' 8", 260 lb guy who moves like a 6' 8" 260 lb guy.

He has started the descent. And the descent will be swift and unforgiving.

That is all.

The current top 4 players in the NBA are the following (in no particular order):

Steph Curry

Kawhi Leonard

Russell Westbrook

Lebron James

Nobody else is even close

Yup, he's washed up....

47 35.9 9.4-18.7 .505 1.0-3.8 .271 4.9-6.9 .718 7.2/ 6.4/ 1.4/1.9/ 24.9

But is Curry better than the 95-96 Bulls?

You seem to be having difficulty with the two concepts; "washed up" and "started the descent". I would offer to send you a free dictionary to assist you with this shortcoming of yours. However, these are freely available online. Please try to avail yourself of one of them when you get a chance.

Like I said, he has started the descent. And the descent will be swift and unforgiving.

Leonard is a classic example of a guy who was so underrated that he has become overrated. Really, really good player but he is not on the level of the other 3 (or Durant and maybe boogie cousins). He is an awesome defensive player but his offensive game is far from dominant. Those other guys can completely take games over.

No Boogie Cousins?

The impact of defense is dramatically underrated. Case in point - Folks actually took Harden seriously in MVP race last year.

Here are 2 facts for you to ponder:

On Jan 25 Spurs played Warriors. Curry scored 37 points in total. Of those 37 exactly 5 were scored while Leonard was on him. Leonard was covering Curry for most of the 3 quarters in which he played.

On Jan 30 Spurs played Cavs. Lebron scored 29 points in total. Of those 29 exactly ZERO were scored while Leonard was on him. Leonard was covering Lebron for most of the game.

Do the math. Leonard is most definitely NOT overrated.

And Durant? Are you kidding me? His defense is pathetic. And when Leonard guards him he becomes a non-factor. Leonard over Durant. And it really isn't close.

Curry's the best SCORER/SHOOTER in the NBA, but as far as two-way players go, I'd pick Lebron, even past his prime. Curry's skills perfectly complement the Warriors system, but put him or Lebron on the 76ers and I think Lebron would improve the team more. Curry's defense is not great and he doesn't play as a traditional point guard. He's magnificent at what he does, but his skill set is narrow. While he can't do any one thing as well as Curry shoots/scores, Lebron does more things well score/rebound/pass/defense.

That doesn't make sense. If Leonard was on him for most of the game and Lebron scored zero points while being guarded by him, then how did Lebron end up scoring 29 points? He really racked up that many points in the few minutes leonard wasn't on him? I find that hard to believe.

I do agree that defense is underrated, but at some point you have to put the ball in the basket. Leonard is a solid offensive player but that is it.

LeBron is a fatty potatty
