Whikst steph curry is the most skilled player and best shooter we have seen, he is not the best player in the league. That mantle still belongs to james. Lebron can and does play every position on the floor,curry can only play guard and point guard. Lebron can defend any player/position in the league, curry cannot.
In a one on one and when lebron is in the mood (doesnt always do it and drives me insane because he is near unstoppable) there is no way stephy is stopping lebron get to the rim.
If you had to pick one out of steph and lebron to defend any position including each other, who would you go with ?Negative on both counts.
This myth about James being able to defend anyone really needs to stop, playing good defense on someone for a couple of possessions does not mean you can defend anyone.
Curry and multiple other guards with speed and good handles will have LeBron on skates like they do just about every other defender, he cannot keep up with a guard for 48 minutes nor can he bang down low in the post with the bigger post players.
He is not nor has he been some mythical defender that can guard everybody, the only person in the league that you could make a case for is Anthony Davis because he's got length to go with his insane athleticism.

When people say he can defend all positions, they dont mean he can shut every player down, they mean when required he is physicaly capable of playing defence on any player. He has athleticism to play on guards, strength to play on pf and centres with high level iq.
If it comes down to it, steph is not physically capable of playing d agains the likes of lebron, griffen, davis , cousins etc. Steph will always heavily rely on help from teammates for his team to be elite in this league
Your missing the point. With seconds to go, lebron can pick up ANY player for the last plays of the game and play effective defence. It doesnt mean he can defend elite c or elite pgs for an entire game, when required he can.No he doesn't, he can spot defend occasionally but in no way is he able to keep up with guards for any stretch of time outside a few possessions and he's not strong enough to consistently defend in the low post against bigs.

How would steph go against said 7 footers.Most players can play defense on most players. Whether they can do it well enough and for long enough is an entirely different case.
Sure Lebron can pinch hit on PG's and Centers when required because he has both strength and athleticism. But over the course of say a quarter, a PG like Steph will have him on skates more often then not and a decent 7 footer will out board him and beat him in the post.
The media wants people to think he can guard anyone all game long but that simply isn't the case.
How would steph go against said 7 footers.
Up by a point in game 7 of the finals with 8 seconds to go, who would you put your faith into defensively to make a play. Lebron or steph?
Same as LeBron, s**t.How would steph go against said 7 footers.

Wer talking as a total package. Steph curry is obviously better offensively but the difference in lebrons defensive capabilites puts him ahead of curry.Giannis is most versatile defender in the game, he's obviously better than Curry.
Plus lebron makes everyone around him much better. Better teammate and better leader than curry

Based on him being in 5 finals series in a row and raising the cavaliers from the duldrums of the nba. Love was s**t last year and irving was already there and could not get them to the post seasonCount to 3 and take a deep breath. Better teammate and leader??
Based on what?
