Stephen Curry Lebron James and Steve Kerr
Most NBA players who admired Michael Jordan at his peak aspired to become like him at some point in their lives. He was a global superstar who dominated the NBA, particularly in the 1990s. “His Airness” influenced several basketball players, including Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and even LeBron James. Jordan’s skills throughout his career affected the NBA in the years following his final retirement. Because the five-time MVP made it popular, the trends were flashy dunks, mid-range games, and trash-talking.
Stephen Curry’s skill to has left an impression on basketball over the course of several years, with many more to come. The 3-point basket has become the sexiest shot in the game, revolutionizing it. Even the once-dominant big guys in the paint have morphed into stretch fours and fives. Curry’s effect could hardly be more pronounced. NBA clubs have been rushing to find the greatest shooters capable of spacing the floor and manipulating defenses in unprecedented ways. Curry has been the face of the largest basketball craze since Michael Jordan’s high-flying facts.

Steve Kerr on similarities between Stephen Curry and Michael Jordan
Steve Kerr has continually lauded Stephen Curry as one of the finest players in NBA history. He’s held that position for a long time, even before the Golden State Warriors point guard won his first NBA Finals MVP award. In an interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expanded on his remarks, comparing Stephen Curry’s excellence to Michael Jordan’s.
“He’s been so great for so long here that I think we just come to expect it and that may be the greatest compliment to Steph. Just like Michael [Jordan], you sit there and watch greatness and you just expect it night after night.” Kerr added: “I don’t compare them as players, they’re so different. In terms of impact, Steph is one of the greatest players in the history of the game. It’s just that he’s 6’3 and a buck 85 and hardly ever dunks, so nobody ever thinks of him in that sort of pantheon but in terms of impacting the game at the highest level, winning championships, Steph’s right in that group.”
Stephen Curry’s fourth title in eight years, as well as the subsequent Bill Russell NBA Finals Trophy in his cabinet, may have altered the perspective of others. The absence of a Finals MVP had previously been the most persistent criticism levelled against Curry. After his performance last season, his detractors will have a difficult time finding new ways to criticise the two-time MVP. Many basketball pundits rank Curry among the top ten greatest players of all time. He is also poised for further success based on how he continues to play and how the Warriors are constructed. He might rise even higher in the pantheon of greats if he wins another title and is named NBA Finals MVP.
