Jordan dickriders and Kobe stans the only ones who do that though. Use ring counts on some simple math shit. Except when they lose, then a "context" exists. Everyone else rings comes with a "context"
And for the record even without bringing the ring discussion in, Curry is a more efficient player than AI, numbers speak for themselves.
ya I'm caught up now...so he's still on it from y-day w/ the love being better than barkley trolling/sarcasm
Well you got people like @godofwine saying LeBron ain't top 10 because he only got 3 rings while others got more.
Problem with godofswine's argument is that it is useless if you pick and choose who you apply it to.

Man. Between KT and Fucup it might be enough amo to last until football season... maybeI was going to be ghost from here for the next couple of months but I might just stick around..lol
ehh it's breaks down into the same threads/discussion every time tho...how long before this turns into another LBJ vs. kobe vs. MJ thread? it's already turning into that already
There is only one ANSWER......
stop crying.
you right...it's not like I don't know what I'm getting into reading your posts/threads...shame on me for thinking this was an honest discussion about AI/curry
Yea who was it that said Love should be better than Barkley because he had a ring as a counter to that bullshit.
Aside from 2001, Allen Iverson's teams never made another conference final in his career. His teams missed the playoffs altogether in 2004 and 2006. Steph Curry is coming off back to back Finals appearances.
Btw I'm taking Iverson. Curry look like he wasn't even the best player on his time at times.
And Iverson would have been much more successful if he was given help on and off the court....one of the best to ever do it

2006 Philadelphia 76ers with Iverson missed the playoffs. He demanded to be traded. 2007 76ers make the playoffs with Iguodala
2008 Denver Nuggets with Iverson get swept out the 1st round. He is traded for C Billups, 09 Nuggets go to the Western Conference Finals
2008 Pistons go to the Eastern Conference Finals. They trade for Iverson and get swept in the 1st round in 2009.
That Sixers teams was completely beat up. After a while they just let Ivetson score.
Stephen is a much more dangerous shooter with better handle while AI was a better defender.
AI gets the edge cuz he could do more with less.
Who else was on those teams? And like I said Iverson needed some help off the field also. He could have been in the Nba alot longer
Damn, AI had way more DOG in him than Curry. Curry is the best shooter ever though. I'd take Curry.
I was just thinking to myself Kyrie is the modern version of AI, just a little slower but a better shooter. Both excellent handle and unbelievable finisher around the rim

Curry struggles with Kyrie ?! Iverson would make Curry look like Diana Taruasi
Iverson
Curry hasn't even been able to sustain HIS brilliance for as LONG as Iverson was able to sustain HIS.
Curry got Klay
Iverson had Eric Snow.
you do the math

Straight up I think A.I. wins.
That being said rings mean nothing. Zan Tabak has more rings than Ewing but that doesn't make him better. Plus with the way that team was put together any competent guard could get a ring on that Warriors squad. I don't think Curry gets one on the Sixers.
A better question is Curry going head to head against Ray Allen.
Imagine Iverson playing now and they can't TOUCH him???!!!!
/threadSteph's won a ring before, AI hasnt. He got more MVPs as well. Why the need for "context"?
Imagine Shaq playing where you can't touch him
Well IMO, Centers are ALWAYS gonna be "touched" no matter what rule is in effect
It's a Guard's league and the ball is mostly in their hands
No one was more influential than AI
No one played harder than AI
No one took more hits than AI
And don't forget that refs and the league racially hated and currently still hates AI.

Right. By his measure, Robert Horry is a better PF than Malone and Barkley. FOH.
Iverson took a team to the Finals with a starting 5 of Eric Snow, George Lynch, Tyrone Hill and Mutombo while being a 6'0 penetrating TWO GUARD.
Because guards cried to the commissioner
bump!
Steph is the better player.
I def think AI is the better scorer. AI is a volume shooter while Curry can play within about any system.
You can win with both but I think Steph would have you closer to a title because he is not ball dominate
