Point guard Stephen Curry is the face of the Golden State Warriors, and he is widely considered to be the best shooter in NBA history. He is clearly one of the top superstars in today’s game, and he looks poised to lead his team to an upset series win against the Sacramento Kings.
There is no doubt that Stephen Curry is an all-time legend, and many believe that he is a top 10 player of all time. However, some hold him in even higher regard. Recently, Draymond Green compared Stephen Curry to Michael Jordan and LeBron James, pointing out that “there’s no debate” that “he’s the greatest”.
“It’s way different,” Warriors teammate Draymond Green said about Curry’s confidence level, per Nick Friedell of ESPN. “But I think one of the most unique things about Steph is like — we all argue like, ‘Oh, is [Michael] Jordan the GOAT? Does LeBron [James] dethrone him? Whoever your guy is, who you think is the GOAT. Everyone debates it. There’s no debate. [Steph] is the greatest. So that confidence runs different. But I think we all here in this world know, there’s no debate. He’s the greatest — and that’s a special thing.”
Stephen Curry’s influence on the game is very clear, as he ushered in the 3PT evolution and changed the very way basketball is played. Beyond that, he has won four championships with the Golden State Warriors, with two of them coming as his team’s clear-cut No. 1 option. He has always been a confident and flashy player, and his confidence is definitely well-earned. Steve Kerr once called him the modern-day Michael Jordan.
In the playoffs, Stephen Curry has averaged 31.4 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 4.6 APG for the Golden State Warriors. He has definitely been one of the best players in the playoffs thus far, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
Bobby Marks Believes Stephen Curry Is The Second-Best Players Behind Michael Jordan
There are definitely other people beyond Draymond Green that consider Stephen Curry in the top tier of NBA legends. In fact, previously, Bobby Marks claimed that Stephen Curry is the second-best player of all time.
“I’m going to stun you with this take here. I actually think Steph Curry is the second-best player of all time. Right behind Michael Jordan. Curry has this instinct what I saw with Jordan. Anytime he has the ball you think it’s going to go in. He is a threat offensively. I think we’ve got 3 or 4 more years of Curry in his prime right now… I would put Curry ahead of LeBron James right now, as far as that No. 2 guy behind Michael Jordan… He’ll be a solid No. 2 when we get to 3 or 4 years from now.”
It will be interesting to see if Stephen Curry will eventually earn enough accolades to get into the top 5 of all-time basketball legends. Ultimately, what will determine his all-time rankings is championships, and he could definitely get a couple more before he retires.
