Steph is one of my favorite players ever and he is playing out of his mind right now. However, I can’t in good faith put him as a Top 5 of all time, even though I want to.

Curry’s next mountain to climb is an all defensive team. That’s the only thing missing from putting him in the same conversation as MJ, Bron, Kobe, Kareem, & Duncan imho. They were all top of the league two way players. Steph is no longer a defensive liability, but is it unrealistic to expect modern players to be All NBA and All Defense if they want to be considered all-time greats?

Maybe I’m trying to force a player into a conversation that they don’t belong…

    Steph’s career defensive impact numbers are actually better than Kobe’s. Neither should be in the top 5 for “greatest careers”. For “best peaks of all time” Steph has a stronger case than most of the other common candidates. For “best peaks by position” he’s probably the best PG.
