The NBA is the biggest sports league in the world and undoubtedly one of the most competitive. 30 teams consisting of numerous star players compete for the NBA championship. Every season, fans witness comebacks and youngsters grow. But there are a few names, like Kevin Durant, LeBron James, James Harden, and many more, that are repeated every season as the best players. Similarly, the three-pointer king, Stephen Curry, is one of them.
Curry made his NBA debut in 2009 after getting picked in the 2009 NBA Draft. He was the 7th pick overall and was picked by the Golden State Warriors. Since then, he has represented the team in every season. As of now, Curry has a career average of 25 points per game and also holds the NBA record for free throw percentage.
Recently, in an interview, Shaq was asked if Curry was better than him. Here is what the big man answered:
“Yes. Stephen Curry is way better than me!”
Here is the complete statement: “Shaq says Steph is better than him and wonders if it is time to start putting Curry as the best player of all time.”
Whether Stephen Curry is the best player of all time, only time will let us know. But when it comes to shooting, Curry is the best player of all time. No one in history has ever seen scoring points look that easy, which Curry made everyone believe. Similarly, the big man, Shaq O’Neal, is also one of the best. He competed in 1207 career games and scored 28,596 points. He was a two-time scoring champion, a one-time MVP, and won four NBA championships. Both players are undoubtedly some of the best in NBA history.
