He is not a killer on his OWN, he cannot handle Lebron's defense for full game.

As for his own defense, you cannot rely on curry to guard lebron or westbrook for that matter (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/05/step...rriors-thunder). Not saying westbrook is better than Curry, he is not, but great stealing ability does not put him in same conversation as Gary Payton. Can you imagine curry trying to defend jordan/kobe/wade/magic, not for a minute. He needs to have great finals performances and MVPs before getting any where near the top 10 of all time.

You may be right about Curry defending that list of players, but what a list.


Time will tell where he stands among the greats.
