Stephen Curry and Isiah Thomas

In the late 20th century, Isiah Thomas was arguably one of the greatest point guards in the NBA. Having playing alongside several Hall of Famers, Thomas never backed out. Similar to that is Stephen Curry in the modern era. An average NBA players’ height is 6’7, while Curry stands at 6 feet, the Warriors still acquired him. Since his arrival to this date, the 2-time MVP has shown no signs of slowing down. 

Curry led the Golden State Warriors to 5 consecutive appearances in the finals, making them one of the most dominant NBA teams in the recent history. However, this run ended last season when Curry and Thompson both suffered season long injuries. After winning the MVP trophy first time in the 2014-15 season. In the 2015-16 season, Curry defended his MVP trophy. He became the unanimous MVP of the league averaging 30 points, 2.1 steals, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

The 2-time NBA champion, who has played against multiple Hall of Famers, recently spoke to Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay and said, “Steph Curry in his run, he had to beat arguably the greatest player ever. During my run, I had to beat arguably the greatest 4 players ever at that time. Magic, Kareem, Bird and Dr. J,”

Thomas continued and added “Steph Curry winning against LeBron James to me that was a huge feat, for a small person to be able to defeat him.”  

The Warriors have high hopes from Stephen Curry again to lead their team to anther magnificent run. As the season starts from December 22, will Curry be able to change the shape of Warriors season all by himself or have the table turned?
