Why he's below Bob Cousy: The lack of a Finals MVP is the biggest drag on Curry's career. Maybe that isn't fair because he was the Warriors' best player the year Iguodala won (and was probably their best player in the Finals as well) and was their best player the year Durant got hurt. Maybe when his career is over I'll look back and judge him less harshly for not winning Finals MVP, but for now it keeps him at the #3 active player.
Why he's above the rest: Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and it's not close. He has 4 seasons making over 41% of his threes on at least 10 attempts per game. No other player has ever had those numbers once. He's going to blow past Ray Allen next year for most three pointers made in a career despite being only 33 years old and still in his prime. Curry is currently 9th in career eFG%, the only guard in the top 20. He's also the current leader in career FT%. He's a good ballhandler and passer, but it's his shooting that turns every team he's on into at least a playoff contender. It's possibly the greatest single skill in the history of the NBA.
