His range and efficiency is unparalleled in history.
Also, Kerr and Reggie Miller did just fine in the '90s era defenses as 3-pt specialists. I'd wager that Curry is a better shooter than either of them, particularly if the rest of the defense had to guard the other four players of my team (and likely double team Jordan, leaving Curry open looks all night long).
Furthermore, Curry has good handles, good court vision, decent APG and even a decent RPG for a PG. Sure he's not great defensively, but he's also not a defensive liability. If he has good defensive teammates (like the 4 other guys I chose), he can switch off as necessary to minimize his deficiency.

Yeah coming off the bench agreed , I would take curry over Kerr or Miller , butbi would not , given a chance to choose ANYONE, put him anywhere near starting 5.
John Stockton would make him cry
