If Iverson was 6'6" he'd be similar to rookie Jordan.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the most entertaining duo.
Whether Curry on his own is entertaining or not is also kind of irrelevant, because Curry is not a duo.

Jordan was LISTED at 6'6" in the NBA, but he was actually closer to 6'4.x" which is what he was listed at in college and measured at during the '92 Olympics. Kobe was also listed at 6'6" but actually a little under 6'5". 99% of the time, the NBA will list players at their height in shoes which typically adds 1-2 inches.
You can't say what Iverson would be if he were 6'6". That's nonsense. No one knows. It's like trying to describe MJ or Kobe if they were 6'11" power forwards instead of 6'4-6'5 guards.
Anyway, my point was that Steph paired with just about any top 10 player will win the duo award for me. I was just getting into why I think Steph is so entertaining. He lacks a lot of the physical tools and makes up for it with with brains, timing, deception, skill...much like Bird who was also very entertaining.
