2662829, but even in steph's early years

he'd already well eclipsed zeke's career highs in efficiency.

and he matched zeke's career high ppg (22.9) in year 4.

that's with no iggy, no KD, minimal draymond (13 mpg) and a pretty vanilla offensive scheme.

and back then he wasn't being as heavily assisted (27% assisted on 2's for yrs 1-4), he was creating his own.

idk, i don't think they're particularly close as scorers. steph's edge there is titanic. larger than zeke's edge in any other category.

for me, the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts anyway. steph's 2016 >>> by leaps and bounds than any season zeke ever had, even the ones that ended in titles.

steph's already ahead for me, right today. in 5 years it won't even be a serious discussion.
