The Golden State Warriors changed basketball.
Some love it, some hate it, but no one can deny that they’ve defined an era in NBA basketball.
That was only possible because of Stephen Curry and his unique skill set.
That’s why Draymond Green agrees with Shaquille O’Neal when he says that Curry deserves to be in the GOAT conversation (via The Draymond Green Show and Legion Hoops):
“With all due respect to LeBron, Michael Jordan, and Shaq, there’s no one in the history of the NBA that has been schemed against and guarded the way Steph Curry is guarded,” he said.
Draymond says Steph Curry ‘100%’ belongs in the GOAT conversation:
“With all due respect to LeBron, Michael Jordan, and Shaq, there’s no one in the history of the NBA that has been schemed against and guarded the way Steph Curry is guarded.”

It’s impossible to disagree with that statement.
Curry has changed the way defense is played.
He’s changed how young players work out and prepare for the pros.
He’s even changed how the entire league schemes and plans their offense.
The only problem is that no one has even come slightly close to doing what he’s done.
Curry is a unique player because he’s not a pass-first point guard, which is why some don’t put him ahead of Magic Johnson in that regard, and that’s fair.
He’s not an athletic freak who will knock people’s socks off with his poster dunks.
As great a player as LeBron James is, Curry took over right in the midst of his prime and won not one, not two, not three, but four championships in what people were calling the LeBron era.
He did so three times against James.
If people want to put LeBron in the GOAT conversation, which they absolutely should after all he’s accomplished, it’s only right they also include the guy who beat him three out of four times on the biggest stage there is.
