Stephen Curry Vs Michael Jordan in Stats: Who Was the Best Scorer in their Prime?

Stephen Curry has entered into hallowed grounds because of the Warriors achieved their sixth final in the past eight years. He has become one of the few players who have entered more than five NBA finals. The number six is also attached to another player: the great Michael Jordan. He, too, had six final appearances in 13 seasons, the same as Curry. Both have had varying levels of success though in those finals. But this commonality does say something about Curry and his achievements. He has taken an obviously middling franchise to glory and global fame. Today, there are Dub Nation fans everywhere in the country and beyond.

Nonetheless, Jordan had a higher success rate in his Finals appearances (Literally 100%). He won each of his Finals and won the Finals MVP six times, which meant that he lead the team from the front to make them win six times.

This includes two three-peats. One was from 1991-93 and the 2nd one was from 1996-98. It was a dynasty like no other.

Curry, meanwhile, may feel unlucky, in that regard. The 2015 Finals surely should have had Curry being the Finals MVP, but due to his first two games, he lost it to fellow teammate Andre Iguodala. The 2017 and 2018 Finals had Kevin Durant being their main scorer, which led to him winning the Finals MVP those years.
