Is Steph Curry a current top 5 NBA player?

[ConradSly]

even when these dudes agree, it seems like they're arguing lol

[StriveGreatness]

lmaoo he said "you are buggin" thats a NY slang

[dom]

Curry is number 4. AD is good, but he can't compete with Steph right now. Remember, this is the BEST ever shooter in the nba's history in his prime.

[kahal]

In terms of skill Curry is top 5. In terms of impact on a team Curry is 2 behind Lebron. FACTS.

[tucsonspartans]

People who say Steph isn't a good defender don't know basketball or haven't played at a high level. Steph isn't a great on ball defender but that's one aspect of defense. Being in the right spots, playing the passing lanes, boxing out, communicating, closing out etc are all things Steph does exceptionally well. You don't lead the league in steals if you're bad on defense. HE IS A GOOD DEFENDER!!!

[ronaldpena]

Curry is better than kawhi because he has a better impact in the game because of his shooting and when ur a 2x champion and mvp hes is clearly top 5

[karimelshazly]

1. Lebron
2. Kd
3. Curry
4. Kawhi
5. Westbrook

If you yall gonna bug me about curry look at what he did regular season when kd was injured, torched spurs, okc and rockets.

Dahntay Jones wasn't even a top 10 player on his last team. And he's not even a top 100 player in the NBA... Whether Curry is top 5 or not is debatable but he is definitely top 10.

[chefcurry]

Saying Steph Curry isn't a top 10 NBA player RN is like saying Dahntay Jones is currently a top 50 NBA player RN. Both statements are completely fucking blasphemous. Curry is undoubtedly a top 5 player and the best PG in the NBA along with Westbrook. Not even debatable.

[victorp]

Steph Curry is the only reason that team is great, he's the only reason they are not worried if they are trailing 20 pts with 5 min to go in the 4th, because it only takes 4 strokes to make it a 4 point game.

[FlashReturns]

Curry is easily top 5 NBA player. He just impacts the game almost more than any player in the league today. Look at the Warriors. Steph has a bad game, they struggle. Durant has a bad game and Steph is on, they win easy. Curry's MVP year is more impressive than Westbrook's triple double year that was forced upon us twice now. Curry is getting disrespected because it fits the narrative of the moment, similar to D Wade when LeBron joined. DWade before LeBron, top 3-5 player, after tho people discredit him. Curry was challenging LeBron as best player in the NBA, only others to do that KL, KD, and AD... Until Harden, Westbrook, or anyone else get mentioned as being as good or better than LeBron then Curry is in the Top 5.

[princeofthestrayed]

How tf is this a topic. He is a 2 time MVP and two time champ in the prime of his career. Curry is the best PG in the league!

[ddgson]

"Dahntay Jones needs to be drug tested"😂😂

[PotentateOfPotentPot]

*Steph Curry is better than Kawhi Leonard*

[femialexwilliams]

He is already a top 15 player all time

[KingNat.]

Wtf is Dahntay Jones smoking. Curry is definitely top 10, maybe even top 5. He's the best PG in the league. Jones ain't even top 300

[jeremyd]

I think it should be like this

1.LeBron James
2.Kd
3.Stephen curry
4.kawhi
5.westbrook

[Begreat_James]

When Anthony Davis can get his team past the first round of the playoffs then we can talk about his as top 5

[theavatar]

This a joke? He's a goddamn point guard, whose job is to initiate the offense for his team, which he does better than every other point guard in the league. Even so, he still plays good defense. It's not like he's a complete liability.
