What Does Curry have to Do to Pass LeBron All-Time?

Lebron just dropped 37/6/8 and will probably still be in his prime when Curry gives his HOF speech. But seriously, Lebron is on another level. There is nothing Curry can do to catch Lebron. Lebron might seriously play until he is 42 or 43 and hit 60,000 career minutes. At this rate he will own the record books. Consider that Curry and Klay are best known for being the "splash brothers" as 3-point specialists, but Lebron has more combined reg/playoff 3-point makes than Klay. That's how ridiculous his career stats are becoming.

The Lakers won the series last season simply by targeting Curry. That was their game plan, and it worked. You wouldn't dare target MJ or LeBron, even at age 35.

Come on now. They didn’t not win solely by virtue of targeting Curry.

Ummm, yea, they did. To make it worse, it wasnt even Kyrie or anything close. It was Austin Reeves and Lonnie Walker.

This isn't true at all.

Sure they targeted Curry at some points, but the true problem was GSW had no one to match Davis on the defensive end. Warriors played too small and that was the main issue. Curry will always be targeted but you can live with that. He puts enough effort to be an average defender. You can't live with every play being a mismatch cause you can't match good big guys.

You wouldn't target LeBron or MJ... well their body frame is much bigger than Curry's, so obviously Curry is much more of a target than the other two would ever be even at advanced ages.

I really, whole-heartely, hate the person that LBJ is.

I don't respect LBJ's game the way many others do.

I LOVE the person Steph Curry.

I LOVE Steph's game.

But still, there is just NO WAY Steph can catch up with James - who I have Top 5 in GOAT Ranking and I fully believe rightfully so - all time. And it is ok. How many thousands of basketball players have come and gone and Steph - to me - is the very best shooter of all time and around a Top 10 Player of all time. The gap between James and Curry is just too big to catch up. Not everyone can be at the very elite, the absolute top level (like to me, those Top 5 - MJ, Kareem, Duncan, James and Russell are) you have to appreciate Curry's greatness as it is.

i mean the Curry fan boys going hard like lebron fan boys, ya, undoubtedly.

I know they are Curry Fan boys but it's just a ridiculous claim. Other than shooting and the gravity argument what actually makes Steph a better player than Lebron? There is nothing that indicates that Steph is better; stats and accolades. And in their primes, when you watch the two play against one another, Lebron out plays him. I just don't see an argument for Steph.

we're talking about the two players switching places and having each other's records/stats/championships.

Curry hasn’t switched teams. Imagine him doing that joining other stars all the time?

Yes, and ring chasing to his 39 with top-5 or top-10 player in the league (Davis). Curry BEFORE and after Durant never had the player of Davis level (and of prime Wade and maybe Irving too)
