Stephen Curry is one of the best point guards in NBA history, and with him winning his fourth championship, many people believe that he is one of the top-10 players of all-time. There is no doubt that Stephen Curry was elite in the 2022 NBA Finals, averaging 31.2 PPG, 6.0 RPG, and 5.0 APG.
Michael Jordan is widely viewed as the GOAT of basketball, and most people agree that Lakers star LeBron James will retire as the 2nd best player of all-time. However, NBA analyst Bobby Marks has recently claimed that Stephen Curry is the second-best player of all-time, not LeBron James

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.
I feel that watching him during these playoffs, certainly during the Finals. LeBron is a great player… I saw Jordan in his prime in the 90s, Curry reminds me a lot of that offensively where he is a threat to beat you in a lot of different ways.
There is no doubt that Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players ever, but few would put him behind Michael Jordan. In fact, a lot of people don’t even believe that he is the greatest point guard of all-time, let alone the second-best player ever.
Perhaps we will see Stephen Curry win more championships and prove Bobby Marks right in the future. Calling Stephen Curry the second-best player of all time is a hot take currently, but if he wins more championships, that conversation starts to become a lot more reasonable.
