It doesn't take a scientist to prove who has a longer receding hairline between Stephen Curry and LeBron James. But it does take one to break down their games in order to figure out who is truly the better player.





In this awesome Sport Science video, ESPN breaks down Stephen Curry and LeBron James' basketball abilities.





Even though both players play different positions, the current debate in the NBA remains; who is the better player? After last year's finals, it appears as if Stephen Curry has dethroned the king as the best player in the world.

​

​ Sport Science breaks it down:

At six inches taller and 60 pounds heavier than Curry, LeBron is a physical specimen. Remarkably, he can pass like a point guard and rebound like a big man too. He plays virtually every position on the court. However, this season, he is only a threat inside the paint. The King's three-point shooting has been a threat to no one.





Here is a top 10 countdown of LeBron James' best plays from 2015:

Stephen Curry is quite the opposite when it comes to long range shooting. He can score just as well as LeBron inside the paint, if not better, and pushes the tempo better than anyone in the league. Curry is a true point guard who is an underrated defender and also reels in rebounds. 2015 was Stephen Curry's year and so far, it looks like 2016 will be an even better year.
