When the Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was asked by Dan Patrick who the better offensive player was, him or LeBron James, he gave the answer most would expect him to give: Himself.

On the surface, it seems laughable.

Last season, James lead Curry in points per game (27.1- to 24.0), true shooting percentage (64.9 percent to 61.0 percent), and offensive win shares (12.3 to 9.1). The physical presence of LeBron is so formidable that it causes problems in terms of his ability in the open floor, to post up, and his perimeter jump shot is not as terrible as it used to be.

However, Stephen Curry is one of the most potent offensive players in the league. Aside from Kobe Bryant, Curry is my favorite player to watch offensively. I have given Curry the nickname of Young City but it hasn't caught on. Perhaps Shaq can help me out with that. LeBron James cannot even be mentioned in the same conversation as Stephen Curry when it comes to jump shooting. The minute Curry gets pass half court, it's hand down/man down. I mean, the boy can pull up from the arena's parking lot. That's how far Curry's range extends. This is strictly about offensive.

Young City!

While Curry is primarily a jump shooter, he shoots it so well that it doesn't matter. The vast majority of his shots are from 15 feet and beyond. He shot 48% from the field last year and averaged 24 and 8; and by the way, he also has handles and can dance on any defender anytime he wants to. He barely follows through on a lot his jump shots and it's nothing but net. He's better than 42% from 3-point range.

To not pick a player with the jump shot of Ray Allen and the handle of Allen Iverson over Lebron James offensively?! That's just crazy. As Stephen A. Smith would say, "He's a bad boy!"
