It's time to ask the board: where do we rank Steph Curry all time?

OK so not to make into a top 10 thing but I had to rank guys to decide where to put Steph.

Top 2 obvious. Top 3 really MJ LeBron Kareem in some order. Then you get to the middle, in some order: Magic, Bird, Wilt, Hakeem, Kobe, Shaq right?

I mean after 9 you are right in the 'some order' area of Duncan, Malone, KD, Steph Curry (the OP), Bill Russell, Oscar, right? So Curry fits at 11 reasonably

I mean, it's hard for me to argue with this. I might put him in instead of Kobe. Sorry Kobe lovers, he could get away with anything.

Chappee s AI list is not far off IMO

But Steph is the greatest shooter to date

The lettering thing about Curry for me is that in my 47 years I've never seen a, player who can literally charge an entire game in a 3 minutes span like he can

Not MJ
Not Kobe
Not LeBron


None of the guys you think of as "scary"


There's never been a player I've ever seen with my 2 eyes who can legit turn the entire tenor of a game as quickly as Steph

We've all seen those bursts. 5 3s in 3 mins too take GS from down 5 to up 7 our fun up 2 to up 14 etc etc

MJ, even in his prime, couldn't do that in such a short amount of time

And the energy that creates when Steph does that really is remarkable. Im the opposite of a GSW fan but he may be the only player who has ever been on a team that isn't the Lakers who has consistently awed me over his career. Like to the point where I'm actively rooting for it to continue

As exciting as a great drive and dunk is. Or something else equally athletic you just don't see 4/5/6 of them in a row like you can see with Stephs 28+ ft 3s when he gets going.

To me he's the literal definition of terrifying because no matter how well your team is playing you always know you're 180 seconds away from the game being completely different and there's really nothing you can do about it once it starts

He's above Bird simply because Bird is a case of perma injury.
