Stephen Curry is on a level by himself at the moment, following the Warriors winning it all, his supporters have been talking their talk. Steph has answered every question his critics have asked of him by being the leading man for Golden State throughout the playoffs and in the Finals, putting up big scoring numbers as well as scoring extremely timely buckets to put teams away. 

His Finals MVP and 4th title have taken his legacy to a point where people are seriously putting Curry in the Top 10 players of all time. And as such, his fans are pulling up every bit of slander that anyone has thrown Curry’s way. One of the most spoken-about things in 2019 was when Michael Jordan, albeit jokingly, said Curry wasn’t a Hall Of Famer at that point. 

Jordan was asked by Melvin if he would amend the list of players he said would be unbeatable in a pickup game in a promotion for NBA 2K14 back in 2013. At the time, Jordan picked Hakeem Olajuwon, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen, and James Worthy. The NBA legend said that he wouldn’t change the lineup even though six years had passed since he made the list. “When I’m going in the trenches, I played against and with all these guys. I’m going with who I know,” Jordan said.

Melvin replied: “So, Steph Curry shouldn’t be offended when he watches this.”

And then Jordan said this of the Golden State Warriors star and three-time NBA champion: “I hope not. He’s still a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet though.”

Even then, Jordan was joking, he smiled a lot after he said it while the interviewer laughed. But that hasn’t stopped fans from reminding the GOAT of his take. And joke or not, this is the kind of thing that motivates players at the highest level and Curry will surely remind Jordan of what he said when he sees him next.
