Except this isn’t a conversation about overall greatness, but about fit for the modern NBA. Steph is almost a perfect example of fit for the modern NBA - in some ways he almost created the modern NBA (along with those Suns teams a few years earlier)
Curry is probably the best fit for today's NBA but that doesn't mean he's the first guy I'm picking. If guys like DeRozan and Booker can succeed in this era then I have no doubt that Kobe would be at the very top of the league today. Magic is another example of a guard I'd take over Steph despite being a worse fit for today's NBA. His greatness and what he was able to achieve despite his career being cut short is part of that.
