Curry is the better player currently, but I'd take prime CP3 over prime Curry.
Paul could have easily scored as much as Curry had he wanted to, but he was always a more complete and cerebral player. Curry was just blessed with better teammates and an optimal system to complement his talents.
I highly doubt Chris Paul could ever have scored over 30ppg while still geting 7 assists, over 5 boards and 2 steals a game.
At his peak, Curry is arguably the best offensive dynamo in this games history.
The offense that is receiving regular double teams 40 feet away from the basket is at an enormous advantage. Unprecenteded. For example, the value of (Dray) playing 4 on 3 with the rest of the squad is otherworldly. They won a title and 73 games without KD to back that up with results.
For me, CP can't get in the same conversation, his effect looks much more "human" and with the repeated injuries when it matters the most, it just undermines the difference of their lasting impact.
