On Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors secured their 34th win of the season with a road victory over the New York Knicks. One of the NBA’s hottest teams since the trade deadline, the Warriors overcame a third-quarter deficit to claim a 114-102 win, fueled by a stellar performance from superstar Stephen Curry.

Despite being doubtful to play due to an ankle ailment, Curry led the Warriors with another outstanding performance. He helped the Warriors win another game with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. Shaquille O’Neal, former NBA player and current TNT broadcaster, made a daring statement about Curry after the game.

I played with LeBron (James), with Kobe (Bryant), against MJ (Michael Jordan). Start putting Stephen Curry in the G.O.A.T. conversation.

Shaquille O’Neal said

O’Neal’s statement encapsulates Curry’s amazing career to date. Given that he has made the most three-pointers in NBA history, Curry is undoubtedly the best shooter of all time. But his achievements have also elevated him to the status of one of the greatest players in league history.

Curry has two MVP awards and was on the All-NBA team ten times. Besides this, he has won four championships and got the title of an All-Star eleven times. He still has a few years remaining in his career and is one of the best point guards in NBA history. Curry, who is 36 years old, is still among the league’s finest players.

Perhaps it’s New York, or Stephen Curry simply enjoys performing in front of a boisterous crowd. The Baby Face Assassin had yet another spectacular MSG chapter tonight. Unlike his 54-point performance eleven years ago, it wasn’t a huge statistical display, but Curry was having a great time, making deep shots and leading the Golden State Warriors to yet another thrilling victory.

However, as years go by, Curry’s fitness concerns raise. The 36-year-old star addressed this after the win against the Knicks.

I still deal with all that stuff. You can’t escape it at this age. You just have a maintenance program on staff but also guys have been good to allow me to get through some early scares. I never take a day for granted.

Stephen Curry said

All Curry wants is to be able to play. He was sidelined for a few games due to a “nagging” knee ailment. However, Curry has mostly shielded himself from suffering any significant harm. His teammates also supported him throughout this time.
