"He may get 4,000 made threes, 4,000.. That's like putting a high score up on a video game that nobody's gonna take down, something like Stockton's assists record. But I thought this when the Big O had the triple-double record and then Russell Westbrook came along. And I would say Steph Curry’s gonna put up the score nobody's gonna takedown but then if somebody is, Trae Young is gonna be the guy. Because he's young, 23, he's played like 4 years, he shoots with unlimited range and he's already a guy that's averaging 25 and double-figure assist for whatever it's worth."
