Stephen Curry is a better offensive player than LeBron James. At least, that's what Stephen Curry himself thinks.
Yesterday morning, Curry made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show and Dan Patrick asked him point blank whether or not he thinks that he's a better offensive player than LeBron. And after thinking about Patrick's question for a second, Curry said that he does believe that he's a better offensive player than LBJ.
"Me," he said when Patrick asked him to choose who the better offensive player is between him and LeBron. "It's gotta be, right?"
Right...er, maybe. Depending on who you ask.
Shortly after Curry's comments came to light, Twitter exploded with the majority of people out there calling Curry crazy and saying that there is no way that he's a better offensive player than LeBron. But after scrolling through tons and tons of Twitter reactions on the Stephen Curry vs. LeBron James debate, we realized two things: One, there are a lot of people who tweeted out Drake's "I been Steph Curry with the shot" line from "0 to 100" in response to what Curry said. And two, there are actually quite a few people who believe that Curry is a better offensive player than LeBron.
For proof of that, scroll down to read 25 tweets from NBA fans who think that Curry > LeBron. For the record, we're still riding with King James over Curry (though we love Curry's game) and think that most of these people are nuts. But it's interesting to see so many basketball fans coming to Curry's defense after what he said about his offensive game yesterday.

You're about to hear from a lot of people who think this guy is right.
@JSTAT253
Search "Steph Curry agree" on Twitter and you'll be amazed by what you find.
@scallankyle
Uhhhh…everything?!
@SuperMari64
Yeah, what are you smoking, LeBron fans?
@PapiTooDope
"Big time"? We don't know about that.
@esibert23
Why end your tweet with a question mark?
@Zipdunk
Okay, okay, so we don't know if this guy actually thinks Stephen Curry is better than LeBron. But he sure likes what Curry said.
@DKyle24
More agreement.
@EJ_KWEEEAH
You hate LeBron, don't you?
@BeeHeintzSKOL
We agree with the point this guy makes.
@TreyWinders
As opposed to 98 or 99 percent?
@djmotwister
Damn right.
@BrandonTierney
Is he Top 1, though? If not, isn't that where LeBron goes?
@_LLCoolZay
Debatable.
@BlackedOut_Swag
The "I agree" tweets keep coming.
@HakunaMatoto
Short and sweet.
@RAY_diculous
Who said anything about defense?
@Da_Red_Mamba
"Easy money"? No.
@Ocho_Stevo
He doesn't just agree. He completely agrees.
@just_pass_it
Wait, you don't "completely" agree, too?!
@D_Hackk
Does that mean that he's better than LeBron, though?
@melcausehell
In what? A regular season game? An NBA Finals game? NBA 2K? Be more specific.
@WhtUpChuck
You don't have to be a "stan" to respect LBJ's game.
@SquidCaptain914
Too bad we weren't talking about who the better three-point shooter is.
@FrederikGnatt
Yeah, you are…depending on who you ask.
