To which the star guard Klay Thompson claimed that Steph Curry would be the one to do so as he is similar to the Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

Klay Thompson asserts that for the impact that one holds among all three in the Warriors, Steph Curry is very close to the impact that Jordan had on his fanbase and in the overall league. Thompson claims that Curry may be motivated enough to come out of his retirement and extend his legacy in the league to the future generation of athletes entering the NBA, just like Jordan did.

Thompson in a statement said, “Probably say, Steph because of the three obviously, he’s the closest to Michael Jordan in his impact and MJ did the same thing,” Thompson said. “I could just see Steph sitting at home, like, ‘I still got it.'”

Klay Thompson’s assertion is something everyone will agree on. Curry since his draft has evolved the game of basketball and single-handedly re-defined the league with his playmaking skills and his out-of-the-world shots beyond the three-point line. So if anyone in this generation of basketball has a lasting impact after what Michael Jordan had, it would be Steph Curry.
