What player in NBA history is Steph Curry most like?

I think defense wise he plays like Stockton. If Stockton had the scoring mentality of steph, he would have fit in very well in today's league.

Honestly steph to me is like stock with a shooting and scorers mentality.

His peak is definitely far better than what stock peeked at, but stock had such great longevity.

I don't think the NBA has seen anything like him before. The closest might be Pistol....with his handle and shooting ability.

Not a bad choice....but how about Nate Archibal? He once led the NBA in scoring AND assists as a guard in the same year! But he never sustained it like Curry does! Archabal averaged 30 plus points a game and 10 assists the same season when he accomplished that feat!

Such a sick crossover. The way curry and Iverson can freeze defenders is uncanny.

....what you call a "sick crossover" is, in fact, a flagrant and blatant PALMING of the ball! There's a reason they can "freeze" the defender and make him look silly....he's PICKED up his dribble, scans the defenders leaning and THEN continues on with his dribble, leaving the defender scratching his head, since without having to dribble the ball, the defender cannot POSSIBLY stay in front of offensive player!

Allen Iverson, but not as good.
