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 is the best at what he does, and he is one of the few players who fundamentlly changed the game. He had a greater impact on the sport than even MJ, in my opinion.
Top 10 or even top 15 rankings are subjective.
That being said, you’d have to be elite defensively to be in my top 5 because that is what I love about basketball.
