"He's not considered a Jordan, he's not considered a Magic Johnson" - Former NBA champion reflects on what kept Steph Curry out of the GOAT talk until now
Although Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry has been an NBA superstar, he still missed an important accolade before winning the Finals MVP last season. It was something that was consistently pointed out by analysts as the missing piece to an already impressive resume.
That changed after the Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics for the 2022 championship. On "VladTV," former NBA player Glen Davis said that Curry should now be in the conversation as one of the greatest of all-time.
"The man can win MVP of the league, he can do all this, break all kind of records, but if he doesn't get that Finals MVP, he's not considered a (Michael) Jordan, he's not considered a Magic Johnson – you know what I mean? Because, you think about it, that's the only thing that kept him out of the talk."
Curry has dazzled fans with his ability on the basketball court, transforming the way the game has been played. One of basketball's most lethal shooters ever, he continues to have fans on the edge of their seats whenever he steps on the court.
