In their last 10:
Curry
36.5 mpg, 28-6-8 (pts/reb/ast) 4.2 TOV on 47/44.5/93 for 62.6 TS%
LeBron
35.6 mpg, 28.4-8-8.5 (pts/reb/ast) 3.7 TOV on 62/52/80 for 69 TS%
Since March:
Curry
(22 games) 35 mpg, 28-6-7 (pts/reb/ast) 3.2 TOV on 47/41/90 for 62 TS%
LeBron
(19 games) 35 mpg, 26.5-8.3-7.3 (pts/reb/ast) 3.6 TOV on 57/39/79 for 64 TS%
LeBron's ORtg over that span? 126 to Curry's 117. He has been a more efficient scorer, a hair better distributor, a better defender obviously, and is doing it all in the same minutes played.
Curry has obviously still had the better overall season and will win MVP, but the last quarter leading into the playoffs is a significant enough sample for me to say that Curry simply isn't the better player at this moment in time, with LeBron finding his J and returning to his Miami-level efficiency and springiness.
