Goombah,

don't even have to rewind that far back....the Oakley/Mason/Derek Harper Knicks of the mid 90s would have found a way to knock him around.

The no-handcheck rule is basically the Derek Harper rule..as he'd use that all the time to push offensive player out of his sweet spot.

I still think Curry is a phenomenal talent and the Warriors system and roster are great. I think Curry would be an all star scorer in any era but that he wouldn't have the ability to absorb the punishment of earlier eras of NBA and go deep in playoffs.

I was a Celtics fan(during the playoffs) in the 1980s..subconsciously because KC Jones looked exactly like my dad, so I remember that era VERY well.

When you look at the slightly built high scoring perimeter players of 80s...like Alex English or George Gervin....you see that Curry could have been prolific scorer too, but the rough stuff in the playoffs would have neutralized him.

I think Durant benefits from playing in kinder gentler NBA too.
