Not a top 25 NBA player ever
I'm giddy thinking about what happens in ten years when the Association is full of mad bombers that patterned their game after Curry.He needs to play at this MVP level for 5 more years to be in that group -- barring injury I'm confident he will do it.
So he needs to be the best player in the world for 5 years to be an all time great?He needs to play at this MVP level for 5 more years to be in that group -- barring injury I'm confident he will do it.
I switched over to watch the end of the game and couldn't believe my eyes! This kid puts up shots like Ennis's winner matter of factly on a regular basis. His level of skill both off the dribble and long range shooting is nothing short of astonishing. He is playing at a level that borders on the miraculous.
So he needs to be the best player in the world for 5 years to be an all time great?
Not "the" best player in the world, but be in MVP-contention, i.e. one of the top half-dozen players in the league. He's been an all-star 3 times -- that's nowhere in the stratosphere of Top 25 all-time.
You said he needs to "play at this MVP level...". This MVP level is the best player in the world. Hence my comment.Not "the" best player in the world, but be in MVP-contention, i.e. one of the top half-dozen players in the league.

I turned it off when he got hurt...lolIt's something to just enjoy while it's happening. I watch the Warriors every time they're on because of him. Worth the price of admission every time.
Yeah it should be unanimousKeep in mind, he broke the record for most 3 pointers in a season, last night, with 24 games left.
He is not in MVP contention, he is the MVP even if he stopped playing today.

You think so? there's a legit case to be made he's having the best season anyone has ever had. Now, he needs to probably be close to the level he was last year for a few more years, but the level he's at right now is just so off the page.
I completely agree that he's amazing now. But when you're talking Top 25 ever, these are legends who were incredible for the long haul. Curry needs to be a 9-10x All Star, 7-8x All-NBA player before hes in this conversation. He's just too young, IMO.
Zach Lowe talks about this sometimes - what matters more, the longevity, or the crest?I completely agree that he's amazing now.
