By what standard? He's in his 17th season. He's working on his 12th All-Star season. He's the best 3pt and FT shooter in league history. He's a 2-time MVP with 4 titles and a pair of scoring titles.

"Massively" seems an exaggeration when discussing his longevity compared to anyone but Lebron.

What top 15 player has just 12 allstar appearances? And with equal or less MVP's?

edit

and winshare and vorp aren't top 20...signs of a lack of longevity.

Depends on the specific list, I imagine. And if you choose to acknowledge BS end-of-career AS appearances like a bunch of those guys enjoy. I think it's somewhat arbitrary at best. Like, do you consider Barkley top-15? 12 AS appearances and 1 MVP. Dirk? 14 AS appearances, at least one of which was entirely BS. 1 MVP. Very much done his relevant stretch after 11 AS seasons, and certainly after his 12th.

I think what you mean here is more durability than longevity, to be honest.

Steph is the most entertaining player period. That Olympic game might be the best game of basketball that I've ever seen.

He's amazing. Hes taking the toughest shots ever at any range with the quickest release in history. He also plays the beautiful game. He doesn't hog the ball, he sets offball screens and runs a marathon each game to get open. He knows how to dissect a double team and always making the right pass. Plus he has his own type of mamba mentality. He's a joyboy character. Completely dominates while laughing about it.

Kobe has one of the most entertaining games, Steph is almost like if you put Kobe on the Spurs.

Huge fan of both players, but I'll go with Kobe.

Watching Curry is watching good basketball; incredible off-ball movement, GOAT shooting, etc... He's always fun.

Kobe brought the flashy stuff though, the dunks, transition game, two-man game with Shaq, etc...

Kobe and thats not counting the POSTERS dunks or the playing thru INJURIES/PAIN or being in the bigger market with more criticism from the media/fans.
