Is Steph Curry better than Jesus?

This Onion article is almost twenty years old. But Dale Allison has told me to read more classics, so....

http://www.theonion.com/article/christ-returns-to-nba-1996

My favorite line:

"After the game, a visibly upset Christ stretched out His arms and said, 'Kevin Willis, why hast thou forsaken me?'"

It is also noteworthy that Jesus' career averages are perhaps All-Star worthy, but not savior worthy. That said, the league has changed a bit since Jesus played. Steph Curry the first of his kind; no appropriate typology can be found.
