SHOWDOWN: Who is better right now: Stephen Curry or Luka Doncic?

These two almost indirectly seem to be matching each others production this season.

It's great to watch so far. Although Luka is probably a bit ahead in the MVP race given record.

Curry is still IMO more impactful when you take into account his gravity and off ball movement just seems to make things easier for teammates when it comes to Winning.

Although I'd say Luka is doing "More" for his team in terms of all around game.

Both not particularly great on defense, but anyone watch this closely?

I'm quite shocked to see that Curry is wining this 8-0.

For two players who so recently had a playoff showdown it seems unlikely that 12 RS games will change folks mind much unless one shows something massively new.

And in that series Luka was complete crap on D.

Steph will probably have a better RS this year. Just like he had in 21 and 22. I know who I prefer for the PS...

Also Steph is notably a better defender than Luka at this juncture.

Edit: Who is the more valuable player this year, thus far? And, why?

Curry I would imagine. Luka had a couple stinkers that dropped him back and in a small sample that probably matters enough. Steph's defense has been notably better while Luka has been needing to get covered for. Steph's scoring this season in volume and efficiency is a bit better than his 2016 season.
