IMHO, LeBron is the GOAT—but then again, I'm an Akron native, so I have to feel that way. Truthfully, each player has a lot going for him and neither is really "better." Let's break down some of their stats:

Steph Curry:

He has 4 championship rings (so does LeBron, but Curry defeated LeBron 3 times).
Some fans consider him a more efficient scorer than LeBron (he boasts a 62.5% true shooting percentage compared to LeBron's 59%).
He's had a positive effect on his teammates: Curry's teams attempt an average of 23 3-pointers before he joins, and after, that number shoots to above 30.

LeBron James:

He has 4 championship rings.
He's been honored with 4 Season MVP awards (compared to Curry's 2).
While you could argue Curry is a more efficient scorer, on average, LeBron scores more points per game than Curry (27 vs. 24.7).
He boasts 4 Finals MVP awards (compared to Curry's 1).

You could make a tight argument in favor of LeBron or Curry—they're both all-stars in their own right. So, what do YOU think? Is Steph Curry or LeBron James the GOAT?
