NBA analyst asserts Steph Curry is incomparable to Michael Jordan & LeBron James: “Nobody is ever gonna look at anybody ever again, the way we look at Steph”
Steph Curry's impact on the game of basketball is unique and it's very hard to see anyone else reaching similar heights. On "95.7 The Game," host Mark Williard shared why he thinks Curry belongs in a different class than Michael Jordan and LeBron James:
"Nobody is ever gonna look at anybody ever again, the way we look at Steph," Willard said.
Steph Curry is a generational talent who is considered by many as the best shooter the game has ever seen. Willard continued:
"They are them. He is him. There's never been this, there never will be again. It's more sort of emotional, cosmic than it is points on a scoreboard. Don't give me a boxscore, don't explain to me why Michael Jordan and LeBron James' careers are better.
13 years ago today @StephenCurry30 made his NBA debut, which got @Mark_T_Willard thinking about how we'll never view another player the way we view the @warriors superstar.

"It's an experience that has never been seen before on the basketball court. And I don't know, for the life of me, how it will ever be matched."
Curry has started this season strongly. Through five games, the eight-time All-Star is averaging 30.8 points, 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game on 48.6% shooting from the field, including 45.8% from downtown.
In his last outing against the Miami Heat, the two-time MVP registered 33 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. He shot 59% from the field and made seven of 14 from deep.
The Warriors are up against the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center tomorrow night as they seek to carry their winning momentum.
Steph Curry brought back honour to the Warriors
In 2009, Curry was drafted by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick. When he started off in the NBA, the Warriors weren't that significant. The only notable players from that Warriors squad were Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis.
There were some doubts about Curry's future in the league when he injured his ankle multiple times that required surgery early in his career. However, slowly but surely, Curry showed his brilliance on the court by revolutionizing the 3-point shot. Good thing for the front office, they didn't easily give up on their future star.
During the "LeBron James era," Curry led the Warriors to multiple championships by beating some of the greatest players in the history of the game.
Who knew that Golden State drafted an all-time great back in 2009? Steph Curry transformed not only the Warriors' franchise, but also the game of basketball.
