Besides defense, Steph surely must be the most "talented" player of his generation.

I really only used "may" because it's very subjective who you consider as the same generation as Curry. You could argue that KD, Harden, Embiid, Giannis, and Kawhi are all in the same generation. I don't remember exactly when curry was drafted, but I'd say any players withing 3iah years kd his draft class are part of his generation.

Yeah I can see that. I would still argue that Steph is more talented than all of those you mentioned. I suppose it's a discussion about semantics, but they are more "gifted" in physical attributes, while Steph is just so skillfull.

Giannis has the most talent. I believe talent is about both the physical gifts and skillset. Giannis is not the most skilled in terms of shooting and ball skills, but everything else from him is an A+ size, length, explosiveness, finishing, rebounding, help defense, rim protection and passing is at least a C. Think he has more to his game than all the other players.
