There is nothing like when Curry goes off. My favorite post-Jordan player.
Klay Thompson looks like he's playing open gym and not in a good way.

I wondered why they left Steph in toward the end and then they showed the graphic with single-game scoring record. Think he was at 45? then.
I don't understand Curry hate. He's an incredible player and the best shooter to ever live. I value shooting as the most entertaining part of the game, so he's an easy pick for my favorite player. LeBron barreling through the lane isn't my cup of tea.
I respect the fact that’s he’s really good. Just not the kind of player I like to watch. I don’t really care for Lakers Lebron either.
I've watched a ton of NBA since mid 80s and he's the best shooter I've ever seen in that time frame. I don't even need to look at stats, his shots aren't the same shots as your typical 3 point shooting specialist. I feel like he could probably be elite greatest of all time at any number of things like shooting, archery, darts, bowling, golf, probably some positions in baseball...he just has Spider-Man level touch and reflexes.
In terms of his personality I haven't seen anything to make me go nuts about him or dislike him at all.
I think Jokic and Doncic are just as fun to watch. Other post Jordan guys I just like watching have been Nash, Durant, the Spurs core. Agree that while LeBron is the #2 player of all time and a statistical stat stuffing juggernaut watching him physically dominate for an entire game isn't as fun as just seeing some of his highlights (say the same for Shaq). Dirk was insanely effective but it could be a little methodical to watch as casual fan if you weren't a Mavs fan. Kobe was like a slightly lesser Jordan which isn't as exciting to me since his game wasn't something totally unique, the guys I listed felt pretty new. Curry is probably the most new of all of them, maybe Jokic.
Nash and Jokic are definitely close to the top of my list. Kyrie would be if he wasn't an all time douche.
I prefer the Kyrie/AI type of game. Along with guys like Tinsley. Guys that do their own things and do things differently. Those guys are ballers. Steph Curry is a basketball player.
The childish temper tantrum when he threw the slobbery pacifier at fans was just too much for me
