I actually love the comparison between Curry and Shaq. They're basically exact opposites.
Shaq wasn't that hard a worker, to the point that he never even got good at shooting free throws, but he was undeniably the most physically dominant player ever. He was - literally - built different. But his work ethic wasn't there.
Curry, on the other hand, is nothing special, physically. 6'2, shit ankles, small. He's never physically dominated the court in his life. And yet... his work ethic and genius has carried him past hundreds of physically better players, to dominate the court and change the very game through sheer effort and skill.
Shaq was born for Basketball, while Curry earned his place.
Exactly
well-said.
Steph is such a hard worker no one really talks about it because steph is so humble
@@loganmattoon5284 100% in my opinion hes one of the hardest working players in the league man isnt the best shooter of all time for nothing he definitely spent crazy amounts of hours in the gym working on his shot everyday
Mic drop
It’s insane how Golden State Warriors literally became the world favorite NBA team , like Stephen Curry has so many fans outside of America , and All of the Philippines 🇵🇭 Loves the Warriors and Curry.
Warriors and Curry numbawan! Mabuhay!
Kadiri ka. Di naman Pinoy si Curry bakit nilalabas mo dito pagka-patriotic mo. May pa flag bang nalalaman 🤮
Yeah but curry and the warriors have lots of haters there was a time they said the warriors been there too many times but what about the lousy lakets or the raists Celtics im sick of hearing about them and the only way that happened is from curry and warriors
all of philippines love bandwagoning and rooting for teams most likley to win. And they are also very rude and smug about it. Worst NBA fans on the planet, absolute internet cancer
I'd say HALF the Philippines.
The other half rides with Bron and hates warriors to death 😂
He had a hard time getting on there because of the legends status, the nostalgia and stuff of the other players. He is already on there and once he retires people will start to give him his respect even more
I grew up immersed in Russell and Cousy and Chamberlain. We had season tickets to Wooden years UCLA. We got to watch Laker practices with Baylor, and West. We watched high school Kobe. Personally, I’ve never seen a more complete player or better shooter than Curry. His best point of comparison is his ability to raise his teammates’ play. Even if they are young, or have underperformed elsewhere, he creates an aura of invincibility for everyone on the floor..
@ Mike Kenny
Why did you leave out L. Alcindor/ Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He was at Ucla and Los Angeles Lakers!
Wooden coached Alcindor! After Chamberlain left Lakers, Kareem soon joined. you remember?
UCLA won three NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS when Alcindor was there! Wooden was coach!
@@robertgriffin8724 you are so right. Lew Alcindor was the most dominant college I’ve seen. Kareem Abdul Jabbar was the most dominant pro.
@@mikekenney8362 i agree with best shooter ever, but most complete player? he isnt a good defensive player which is literally half the game.
Complete player with no All NBA defensive nods? Complete offensively i'd agree as he can attack all 3 levels unlike anyone we've seen generating insane space.
@@DetroitTyler Yep your point is taken, but attack is from all three levels and draws two and three defenders to him. That dominance breaks down the opponents offensive setup and energy.
when curry retires, people will realize a couple years later how really one of EVER this man is and what he’s done for not only the franchise, the nba and the world of basketball
I see lebron as 2 all the time higher than kobe and duncan and curry i dont understand this how can duncan and curry who played with less allstars throughout their careers and never jumped from team to team while winning more and on top of that beating lebron more in the finals be under him it just doesn't make sense i get he got better numbers all time but so does westbrook over curry
@@pootsplasencia4846 Lol currys warriors always had 3-4 all star when they won rings, youre right about not jumping teams but you gotta consider that both Spurs and Warriors produced almost all of its all stars beside Curry and Duncan, Cavs in the other hand gave Lebron absolutely nothing in 6 years. Its pretty likely that if Curry was producing mvp numbers with those 2004-2010 cavs teams he wouldve left aswell
Nah we wont sorry this was his first finals mvp and even at that i wouldve gave it to wiggins he was a beast defensively and offensively
@@Mmmm-lx9vb well that’s just seems like a good organization building good teams around there best player 🤷🏾♂️ cant knock him for that when he literally grinded to get them where there were so he deserves whatever comes his way.
@@Thankyou4x I totally agree with that and im not knocking Duncan nor Curry at all. All im saying is that its kinda unfair to diss Lebron for leaving Cleveland and use Duncan and Curry as an example of people who "did better" because their situations were very different. The talent Curry and Duncan had around them was way better compared to 2000s Cavaliers and actually increased in half a decade.
I totally agree with this. Curry is further up on the list than people know.
#5 behind Kobe for now
@@terminatah500 I would have kobe lower than steph. Steph comparatively to his peers is around 6 or 7 with the chance to move up
@@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast yea I would move kobe down a bit and maybe bring Tim up or russel cause russel was slept on and most people think he's overrated
I agree 100%! 👍
Hes 6 or 7 prob, if he wins another hes moving 1 or 2 slots up ahead of Kobe maybe
The love you show Curry and Duncan on here is great! Two players who I feel always deserve more love. Keep up the awesome content!
Duncan gets too much love, Robinson was the best Spur of all-time.
@@scottb3034crazy
I've been watching the NBA for 36 years.
Steph is, in my opinion, top 5.
Everyone plays the game now as he plays it. The 3 shot is every teams game now because of his abilities.
For me, it's Jordan, Magic, Lebron, Kareem, and Steph. Then Kobe, Shaq, Russell, Duncan and Olajuwon.
Magic at 2 bold bold bold statement
so are you saying Stephen curry has a goat case
no disrespect how old where you when you first started
magic over bron ? 💀
Where is Bird?
I know he brought it up in the video but height cannot be overlooked in my opinion. Being the shortest on the top 10 in a game designed for height is it’s own achievement. It’s a part of his game he’ll never be able to change and something he had to overcome to reach goat mountain.
Similarly I think efficiency is an underrated stat that we don’t properly track with accolades. Too often we see players get MVP while having HUGE usage ratings and middling efficiency. Efficiency is a benchmark for mastery of craft, and shouldn’t be overlooked in a discussion of greatest all time.
that's why many people don't want him at the top 10 since it means you dominate the league for some time and they don't want a 6'2" guy to have that in his resume. but we don't know yet, bron and steph hasn't retire yet, the two who dominate the league after the duncan and kobe era. but he is definitely on the top 10 for sure
Efficiency also greatly increases your chances of winning the game especially if it’s better than the opposing team….or opposing player.
U know Steph has the greatest playoff win percentage of any MVP an NBA history? Coincidence? And if your impact winning the most, you’re the greatest, especially in your generation
@@thej1615 yeah but they will say he just have good teammates for a long time, like is it really the players fault that many wants to play with you since you dominate while involving the team, an attitude which many could not do since they want the spotlight & success all by themselves
What if he win two more rings with another finals mvp ..?
Similarly I feel you have to look at the difficulty of different aspects of basketball, shooting a 3 pointer ( especially at the degree Steph shoots ) is much harder than say dunking like shaq does ( as much as a dominant player shaq was ) Steph is also one of the best handlers and has an insane layup package, add to this his defense as well. For me all things considered he’s one of the greatest talents in basketball in skill level, I have him 4 but kd is also top 10 for me but has low-key ruined his career
MJ and Curry are the only ones I can always go back and watch play. It doesn't matter how many rings the others have or how well they played, Mj and Curry changed the game in their respectful eras so that's the entertainment I gravitated towards and wanna see. The players I like to watch is
1)MJ
2)Curry
3)GP2
4)Kyrie
5)Kobe
kobe literally had the most jaw dropping highlights ever. made the most difficult contested shots and trick shots/layups/poster dunks and you don't think he's worth watching lol
@@kennethgriffin7921 he said the players that changed the game. Kobe is one of the basketball gods but he modeled his game from Jordan's so technically he did not change the game in his era.
I thought this was your all time list at first cause I didn’t read the paragraph, I almost fainted
@@nicholasq2408 exactly, and kobe is on my list just because he played like MJ
Its MJ, Kobe and Curry for me.
Whether you like it or not, Steph will indeed be in the top 5 all time when all said and done, and also the GOAT convo
I think He got more fan in overseas than any other basketball player..the impact he have in a game is just 'lost of word's' .my GOAT 🐐🐐 TRUE INSPIRATION!!
LOVE FROM INDIA...🇮🇳 WE LOVE YOU...
I understand the logic of counting NBA titles in comparing all-time greats, but I don't think enough is said about Curry being far and away the greatest shooter ever. Kids today simply may not understand that, for much of the history of the three-point line, the best shooters were catch-and-shoot specialists. Steve Kerr is a great example: He owns one of the best all-time three-point shooting percentages, and he'd wait on the wing or the corner, open and ready to shoot. Reggie Miller was basically the exception proving the rule, equally strong with or without the ball. But Curry takes it to a whole different level. He hits those same shots after running all around the court, trying to get open. There were whole stretches in this year's finals when Curry's defender would be face-guarding him 35 or more feet from the basket, not even looking at where the ball was. He also has the best handle of any all-time great shooter, allowing to get past the best defenders and score. And his shooting ability creates an unbelievable gravitational pull, creating endless opportunities for his teammates.
For me, Curry's easily in the all-time top ten because he's the greatest shooter of all time, and not for a short span but going on fifteen years. He could easily finish his career with six titles and 4000 three pointers.
Being smaller has its advantages for not getting run down as easily. If Curry can keep his ankles healthy he can have longevity like LeBron has shown.
6 títulos acho que não, mas talvez 5 e outro fmvp
6 titles easily? I know you probably didn't mean that literally. They ain't easy to come by, and that two-timeline shit in the Bay might hurt his title chances. I'd argue that it's already hurt Golden State this year. Outside of the word "easy" - I'm with you 100%
The Warriors may well win one more championship within the next 3 years. It will mostly depend on the rapid development of at least two of their recent lottery picks (Wiseman, Kuminga, and/or Moody). Starting next regular season Curry,, Thompson and Green need to adopt a minutes restriction to prevent injury and to conserve energy for a sustained play-off run.
It's possible to do a 3peat they have young kids that are team players all things are possible thru Christ he hives you strength. Wake up.Bottom line
I'd be shocked if Curry doesn't win at least one more before he retires
Moody and Wiseman showed promise in the Summer League, Kuminga looks like he’s still got some growing to do. Expect those three + Poole to get heavy minutes in the regular season while Kerr limits and manages Steph, Klay, and Draymond for a deep playoff run like you say.
I definitely think they’re the favorites to repeat atm. And I also think Steph has one more league MVP in him.
@@Jason-TheChad-Muska_circa1995 agree
Maybe 2
If not atleast 1 ring
If curry won 3 or more championship
And Atleast 2 finals mvp
I believe he can be in the 5 all time
@@bndctgrnd8560 Yeah I think that if Curry wins two or three more championships and two more finals MVPs then at that point I'd put him over LeBron and Kobe. Not only that I think you would have to consider having the discussion of him overtaking Magic Johnson at the #3 spot and as the best point guard of all time.
After all Just because you're at the top of a specific category doesn't mean you're necessarily the best. For instance if you look at LeBron and Jordan. LeBron has .711 points per minute played in the NBA and Jordan has .787 per a minute. LeBron has 52138 minutes played Jordan has 41010. That's 11,128 more minutes. LeBron has 37,062 points and Jordan has 32,292 which a difference of 4770 points. Jordan would have only had to play another 6,070 minutes to surpass LeBron and points and had Jordan played the same amount as him then hed pass LeBron by 3970 points Jordan would be the all time points later over Kareem.
I know this seems like a tangent. But my point is to show that viewing somebody at the top of something doesn't mean that they were the best or most efficient at it Because you can have a freak specimen come along they can play for 30 years that has a 3-point percentage in field goal percentage 10% less than LeBron or Jordan or Kareem but would surpass and total points rebounds or assist and that doesn't make them the best and that why most hall of fame NBA players Not only don't see LeBron is the goat but not even in the top three. Hell you can even argue that Jordan isn't number one and instead it's Wilt. However I disagree
I've got
#1 Jordan
#2 Kareem
#3 Magic
#4 Wilt
#5 LeBron
#6 Shaq
#7 Kobe
#8 Bird
#9 Bill Russell
#10 Chef Curry
This was amazing!
This video was dope THANK YOU!!!!
I think moody is underrated. I have this GP2 feeling about him with his hussle but not as good with his hands. Yet and outside shot with solid Defense is more warriors.
Give him a little time. GP2 is about 9 yrs older and alot more experience.
And now, GP2 is gone 😭😭😭

I'm just so glad he won fmvp and silenced all those media and haters for throwing anything bad on him and disregarding anything great he has done. I won't mind where he be placed top 10 cause he has his own GOAT status as the best shooter ever, best off ball, best gravity, best free throw and changed the game.
That should have been 4 MVP’s, they took away the first and gave it to Igoudala, 2&3 to KD. KD was playing well on Warriors because he never gets doubled team like Curry! Now, you can tell when KD gets doubled team against Celtics, see what happened, swept by the Celtics. Now, tell me how good is KD when he’s on another team, he could not even carry a team.
@@manuelpasco2048 well if curry could play defence at a high level (high relative to the NBA) he would of got his first one! The greatest of players don’t get fazed by double teams. It’s harsh, but if he couldn’t find a way out and KD happened to get open and score more, he deserves both his fmvp’s. He still had to make the shots. He’s offensively great, but sorry lacks in the defensive area. You can’t just ignore that. Everyone on the og top 10 is better than curry
@@adamskai321 he can play defense that you and others think he could’nt, but offense is number one criteria. One on one offense can anybody stop Curry? KD was lucky because opposing team’s don’t pay attention to him rather than Curry, because they want to stop him on three’s instead of two’s like KD does.
@@manuelpasco2048 absolutely horrible take. Curry is not a elite defender. He is average at best with one season having exceptional stealing. Don’t overrate his defence. He’s not a terrible defender. I never said that. I said relative to other guards he doesn’t cut it at all. Offence is important, but you are just completely discounting defence entirely which is crazy. It’s half the game… I would argue one on kyrie would cook curry easy. He’s shown multiple times that he can own his ass. KD wasn’t “lucky” he just out performed curry end of story no excuse. Stop making these crappy excuses for curry just because you’re a typical curry fanboy loool
@@manuelpasco2048 worst take ever do you even watch basketball
Great video especially the wild ending completely possible 💯🍿
I totally agree with these things and stats what you've said. It's a great video, really love that. And of course I truly believe that Steph Curry will win another Nba championship in the next 2-3 years
For a player that has changed basketball into a completely different sport, I don’t see him outside the top 10 players of all time.
But did he change the game for the better? Current NBA bball is soft 3 point shootaround. 80s and 90s ball was still miles better. Curry isn't even in my top 15. That's because I have done my bball research.
So George Mikan is also in your top 10?
@@Zamppa86 its about efficency man...Curry top 10 wheter you like it or not
@@adamg.5482 Nope. Curry isn't better than MJ, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Kobe, LeBron, Wilt, Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Russell, Robertson, West or Dr J for example.
Curry's playmaking is average to good, he only averages 6,5 apg which isn't anything too great for a starting pg. He has no athletism(can't dunk) and his defense is average at best. He has never been nominated into any all defensive teams during his career which means he has never been a top 4 defensive guard in the league during his career.
Curry might be the best 3 point shooter of all time but that's only one part of offense. Outside of that his offense isn't anything top 10 great. He averages 24,3 ppg through his career alongside with 6,5 apg which are good numbers but not top 10. That combined with his average at best defense drops him out of top 10. Even outside of top 15. Curry's offensive numbers are a bit worse than Jerry West's but West played all defense-level D while Curry does not. Also West put up his better stats without 3 point line.
I have noticed many "Curry is top 10!" lists/shouters after the Warriors won their latest championship. I have to say that it seems most of those people probably are 25 years old or younger and have not done their research before coming out with their pretty laughable lists. Youngsters think "basketball = 3 point shooting" and "better 3 point shooter = better player overall". When you get older/do your research you will realize that's not the case.
Steph is a top all-time top-10 player. I don't care if you have to squeeze like 12 or 13 people in there to keep everyone happy. He's in there somewhere.
Sidenote: Curry used to 6'3". He's the only giant who keeps getting shorter as his story gets bigger.
MJ and Curry. Only players that changed the game to such a degree that they made fans out of people that didn't cheer for their teams. They also stayed and won it all on one team (refuse to count Wizards era). I could care less about GSW or the Bulls, nor San Fran or Chicago, but I always tuned in to watch a Bulls game when MJ was there and same for Curry. To a much lesser degree, I did with Kobe as well, but could never get around the fact that he played and looked like MJ. Curry will always be the first of his style. And Magic literally shouldn't be a comparison, he was 6'9"!
I like this topic 10 man!
Steph curry is the ultimate version of Allen Iverson's effect on basketball culture as a whole. You know how even though AI never won a title, his place in basketball history is cemented based on his sheer skill, will, and relatability. In a land of giants, the fearless little guy stood tall and dominated. Not only did that appeal to every little kid of the 90's that saw him as their GOAT (me included) but he changed the very landscape of the league dynamic going forward. It became cool to be a scoring PG, while also being unapologetically true to yourself.
Fast forward, and now Steph curry is a multiple time champion, MVP, all star, the greatest shooter ever, and undeniably a top 10 player. Yet, if you walked past him on the street, you might miss him. He goes against every conventional idea of being a dominant NBA player. In fact, his game went against all conventional wisdom, and ended up being a revolutionary staple of the status quo going forward.
This is the peak of the AI influence
In my opinion, I make a balance between physical ability and skill, I think that more physically differentiated players have an advantage over the smaller ones, who are not necessarily better players. 6.2"... unbelievable.
Yes every top 10 player on this list could get easy buckets by physically overpowering their opponent, Except for Curry. Everything he does is a skill shot and there’s no easy buckets for him. It makes his accomplishments more amazing
@@Johnny-xj5qu Plus they were not guarding them like they are guarding curry. Double teams, triple teams even in normal season game... Yes curry has big shooting threat but still his job is harder than them. He just made look it easy.
@@Johnny-xj5qu you have clearly never watched these guys play 🤣 are you saying they have no skill??? Or less than curry??? In shooting, and dribbling maybe but wb IQ, passing, Footwork, DEFENSE, rebounding, stealing. All are skills if I’m not mistaken 🤔
@@adamskai321 never said or implied any of those things. I’ve watched intently since the 80’s and these guys all have a lot of skill. What those guys have that Steph doesn’t is the ability to use physical prowess to overpower their opponents to get an easy bucket. They have skill and physicality. Steph only has skill…. there is no “easy” bucket for Steph. When has he ever backed a guy down, to turn and shoot an easy one?
@@adamskai321 He isn’t lying other players on the top 10 players have it a lot easier than curry and the comparison they make when he’s being compared just isn’t fair at all.
There is one thing, which is not that often said about the greatness of Curry. And this is his personality....From what we can evaluate as fans, he is just the perfect team guy who will always find a way to win and make his team just be in a happy place. When do you see him talking about himself? He is always talking about the team. He is just different to LBJ, MJ or KB24. I mean Kobe and MJ´s work ethic are insane and definitely helped them winning, but I think Curry is just one of a kind with his attitude.
Thank you for this.... I'm soo tired of them bypassing Steph like he's one dimensional. He has proven he can do it all..
Steph Curry has definitely made his way into the top 10. I mean. Look at the repertoire. After his 4th chip? And without a team of superstars like himself too? Yo he is definitely in the bottom half of the top 10 GOATS of the NBA right now. And what’s nuts is he still has a lot of the game to play so as you said he could very well climb that ladder. I say he wins two more chips and calls it a day. All he needs now is an Olympic gold medal. Which he woulda had already had he not gotten injured but I wouldn’t put it past him to get one in the next Olympics. And what’s even more insane is he didn’t even need one to get to the top 10 in the first place but the fact that we all know he can get one anyway? Just speaks on his skill and work ethic. He ain’t done
No he hasn’t, he has not beat any of the current top 10. He lacks final mvps’s, defensive accolades and couldn’t even out perform Kevin durant twice!! You cannot be a top 10 player when u have a 25% fmvp against guys that aren’t even top 10. He’s a phenomenal player, he’s changed the game with threes which impacts spcacing etc. He’s also the shooter of all time. Thing is people are way too high off his championship and love to blindly put him in the top 10. The current top 10 are the best of the best, and they have been undoubtedly great on both ends of the floor. Can’t say that about curry, I know he’s only 6’3, but these are the harsh expectations for top 10 players. I would be so direspctful to move any of them down. Curry is definitely 11-14.
@@adamskai321 Agreed. Stephen Curry is definitely Top 15.

its really just opinion tbh. I feel like even if curry wasnt the greatest defender, he CHANGED the way the NBA gets their points; with the 3 pointers. But it all comes down to opinion and point of view
steph changed the way the game is played. hands down the goat

@@antipro4483 You're citing one-time, freak occurrences, but FOUR Finals is a documentable pattern. Curry and Lebron have faced off four times and Curry has won three, proving Curry is THREE TIMES BETTER THAN LEBRON. And anyone who's lost six Finals doesn't deserve Top 100, let alone Top Ten.
This is just one measure of how good Oscar was. Seasons at least 50 games played. At least: 30.0 PPG 6X; 10.0 APG 5X; 10.0 RPG 3X; .500 FG% 3X; .850 FT% 4X. All other players in NBA history had at least TWO 0X among these 5 category levels. His triple double seasons were not even in his top 5 all-time accomplishments. Uninformed know-nothings are the ones who have saddled him with all that nonsense. In my 65 years of watching basketball he is still the greatest player I've ever seen.
I got Steph top 10, but not ahead of Shaq yet.. ppl forget the immediate impact Shaq had on the league he was basically a MVP candidate averaging 30/13 by year 2. Steph took a lot more time to develop & also needs more accolades before he’s ahead of Shaq all time imo.
If the Warriors win 3 out of the next 4 championships like Draymond said (assuming Curry is on the team for each of them), I think Curry could be the GOAT.
If only Curry carries the team like he does now, im sure in the next 3 championship run, he will be the Goat.
@@tsdpixel5860 He doesn't necessarily need to carry his team as hard. The teams MJ had back in the day had a lot more supporting cast than the team Steph had as of now. I envision Curry coming off the bench for Poole one of those days, possibly in a championship run, but that shouldn't necessarily hurt his GOAT case.
@@zachnguyen6587 yes. But to get fmvp, he need to outshine all his teammates. Another 2-3 rings, top 3 sure. But not on Jordans level unless he get the fmvp. Even if he gets 5 rings by the end of his career, he will be a top 5 regardless. Im just glad we are witnessing history the last 2 decades. Kobe, lebron, Curry, duncan, the likes.
I hope I can back here in 2025 seeing Steph as a 7 time champ w 3FMVP. HE IS THE GOAT IS DO SO. But man. See you here 2025🙏🏽
I was thinking the same tbh bro has a legit chance to win 3 more and some more finals mvps but if bro get 2 more with back to back mvps then I have home top 5 for sure maybe top 4
He'll be the goat no doubt if he can pull that off

@@dominickwilliams3757 Everyone has seen Jordan play though. Steph would definitely be top 5 all time atleast if he won 6 though some might agree some might disagree.
I’m doing my own ranking right now and I have Curry just outside the top 10 at #11. I have no doubts he’ll be an undisputed top 10 players of all time by the end of his career though
One thing people always neglect is the IMPACT steph has - whether people say his shooting ruined the game and now that we see kids copying his far 3s, he has become a global icon and leader in the game of basketball - changing the 3 point and shooting as it is. Impact ties a huge part in where someone ranks.

As much truth your comment holds. It's really possible in a 100 years. Maybe nba won't be as popular but I'm putting my life atleast 5 players during those 100 years they will be better than jordan. If I could still be somehow alive near a 100 mark, I will remember.
Look at LeBron he made a case for GOAT convo even I am not a fan of his and as the league evolves we will see players like we see in 2k who we thought are funny and unlikely but it will be a possibility, imagine a player that has a size of giannis and has a shooting of stephen curry.
I will dethrone mj soon
@@claxcz you mean kd, at nearly 7 foot and can shoot lights out. His downfall was his decision making and lack of leadership but you're right, if kd had that mj, curry or magic type leadership and lead his team he could have 5 rings by now and we might be talking about him as the goat
Mine is
1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. LeBron
4. Curry
5. Kareem
6. Magic
7. Bird
8. Shaq
9: Wilt
10: Bill Russel/Tim Duncan
I agree with you
You know basketball very well
Definitely agreed about your statistical analysis 💖
Curry is undeniably belongs to the group.
High quality assessment and content. You’ve earned a sub from me
great video. I think seph is currently top 7 and if he doesn´t get injured he will definitely climb higher
My top 10 list is:
1.Michael Jordan
2.LeBron James
3.Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4.Wilt Chamberlain
5.Magic Johnson
6.Larry Bird
7.Kobe Bryant
8.STEPH CURRY
9.Bill Russel
10.Saqille O'Neal
You are the best RUclipsr ever I love warriors also!
If steph ends his career with 7 rings he’s definitely getting ranked 3rd all time
At least. There's an argument he's the GOAT if he wins 7 rings.
You bet your ass he moves ahead of Lebron with 7 rings. Assuming Lebron retires with 4.
@@GreenEnvy. If LeBron retires with 4 steph would need at least 2 more finals mvps & A regular season mvp to move ahead LeBron
@@zayscott1168 the thing is bro has a real chance to do that 💀 which is crazy to say because Bron is a undefinable top 2 player all time
@@Siooc You right and it’ll still be hard to knock LeBron out the top 2 😂 it’s like LeBron trying to knock MJ off hard ash

3. Lebron
4. Kareem
5. Magic
6. Timmy D
7. Steph
8. Larry Bird
9. Shaq
10. Bill Russell
I'm pushing out wilt and russell. No hate towards them but the reason why their accolades are virtually untouchable (11 rings, 50ppg, etc.) is because of the era they played in. It's not fair for the other players. So instead we put in hakeem (greatest defender of all time) and curry who is undisputedly the greatest shooter of all time.
No push out Shaq and wilt and in comes Hakeem and curry
@@goldengil977 Shaq has arguably and imo the greatest peak out of any player ever. He was virtually unstoppable. Only thing that sets him back was his work ethic like this video mentioned. I'm personally keeping him in there.
@@Rexlee1123 I can respect that I mean I think it's fair having shaq in there but I don't
Can I just say how crazy it is that you predicted that the warriors would take the chip, you are honestly insane keep it up bc I still can’t believe you predicted the season.
1. Kevin Durant deserves to be in the conversation. 2. Wilt is still the only center to lead the league in assists. A beautiful fade and a dominant blocker. He's the best center to play the game and would be dominant in any era.
Idkw I laughed at your tone when you said “not only did he three peat… but he did it twice” 🤣🤣
That Idea of 7 rings is awesome and to put cherry on top -- Curry surpass that Diva Lebron --- Great video and theory -- Hope it'll come true!
He has already passed lebron's Co diva kd lol.
He ain’t passed lebron he at best passes bill and wilt
@@aliciasplaytime6905 championship wise he is tied with lebron. Instead of lebron trying to chase the ghost of mj, he need s to focus on making sure steph doesn't end up getting more rings than him in this era
@@inidbil7277 tbh -- i dont see KD nearly close to that top 10 -- for me KD is a role player not a star player -- that finals MVP in GS is just a token of appreciation from the 3 cores of warriors for a job Well done and just like Gray said -- They dont need him haha!
@@wynrie_x_senna agreed. He is a great role player notches above Wiggins. Great talent who can't lead a team to a chip, kinda like TMac
I can see the GSW winning again in the next season…but to three peat? that’s an incredibly hard feat to accomplish even with all their talent. From next season they are no longer coming in as the underdogs that everyone had written off, so the road to the chip will definitely be much harder, still I’m rooting for them all the way.
Like Draymond said: If they get everyone’s best, they will be the most prepared and locked in team come playoffs.
I hate that they had to lose GP2, glad he was able to get his bag though. He was impactful throughout the run.
Actually..right now..i don't see curry in the top ten
The good thing is, they won't try too hard in the regular season. I mean Kerr is content with Seed 3 or 4.... No need to exert too much pressure on players to get top 1 seed. And once they reach playoffs, ain't noone stopping them in the west. They gonna go to the finals for sure. WCF is just a piece of cake for Warriors.
Me to
This is so true
I believe that being the greatest isn’t about how much rings you got because that’s basically saying Robert Horry is top 10 but it’s all about stats and skills.
Personally as a Warrior and Steph fan I'm finding it hard to place him on my list. I'm trying not to place him too high off of bias, but looking at all the careers and accolades of those guys, I have him at 8/9 debating whether him or Bird is 8.
I have him 11 or 12 personally
you cant make a legitimate top 10 today without Steph in it, you're just a hater if you don't have him top 10. if he wins any more accolades this season he's top 5 for me at least
Hes not top 5 he's 9th and can't be higher than 9th
@@goldengil977 he didnt say he was top 5. Also steph is higher than bill wilt and shaq bro 😂
Yea like how can the greatest shooter ever in a game where you shot the ball not be in your top10, you'd just hating frfr
@@PenguinShake111 true not Shaq but def bill wilt mj bron kareem magic bird Kobe Shaq Duncan curry hakeem
Lol not putting curry in your top 10 doesn’t make you a hater. I feel like you all need to get a grasp on the current top 10 because non of those players deserve to go below curry. He’s a phenomenal player, but he’s not better than Mj, LBJ, Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Bill, Tim Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Larry (In no order) after this it’s debatable where curry stands. I feel like the FMVP has gotten to everyone heads, but y’all just ignore he lost it 3 times before to kd and Iggy lol. Whether his stats were good or not, or if he impacted the game more outside of the stat sheet, real top players would perform so much better than their teammates so it wouldn’t be close. There’s no excuse for losing it 3 times… plus he has no defensive accolades. Defense is half the game, it’s not only about shooting, fancy dribbling and creating space because of your shooting threat. Sure it’s important, but it’s definitely not everything. Curry has a chance to make it, but as of now he is not top 10, no way. Maybe 11-14 debatable
I am totally agree with you
I think the most underrrated part about curry’s game is being able to make his teammates better. Look at klat dray Wiggins poole etc. He makes people around him better
well obviously you missed this years playoffs -.-
I’ve been a basketball 🏀 fan since the ABA league-over 50 years-and I’ve never seen any player do the things Steph Curry does, not even Jordan. He has undoubtedly and forever change the game of baseball. No one has successfully been able to guard Steph-no one-not KD, not LeBraun, no one.
I very much doubt that MJ would have been able to stop him. Moreover, MJ did not have the competition that Steph face in today’s NBA. So, please, show a little respect to Steph-and, recognize.
Thank you!!! I post above before reading your comment and completely agree...and basically stated the same as you. I've been watching basketball 50+ years and never saw ANYONE receive the defensive attention Curry receives. And yes,... NOT. EVEN. JORDAN!
Thank you sir for allowing me to find at least one person my age who SEES the truth in all of these 50 years of basketball fanship.
MJ had a lot of competition
I hope curry wins more championships (warriors fan here), but I think It’s gonna be hard for the warriors to have a repeat next year. Other players are teaming up and preparing for them - Durant- clippers - Minnie and a lot more. It’s tough next season. That being said curry definitely in top 5
In the league or All time 💀 because he ain’t better than Magic 😂😂😂
Curry has fought like a champion 🏆 for everything he has won. He is THE MAN!! No one wanted to give him an inch in the start of his career. There will only be one Curry, he is one of a kind CLASS ACT who has already left his indelible mark on the game.
I totally agree with this
Wade put Steph on Mt Rushmore. Ja Morant put him top 5. Iggy said Steph greatest PG. Remember, Wade was already a champion who then played with prime Lebron (on Mt Rushmore) and won more rings with him. He is putting Steph on Mt Rushmore with Lebron because he recognizes Steph is on that level. Magic is commonly considered on Mt Rushmore and people are starting to realize Steph is better than Magic.
Steph is pretty much the GOAT offensively. Thinking Basketball did a vid on this. And he's a solid defender, despite the media narrative against this.
Steph will eventually be in the GOAT conversation with most ppl, especially as advanced analytics continue to develop and are able to properly measure Steph's impact on his whole team's winning. I believe JimmyHighRoller did a vid showing that Steph has the highest % of added wins to his team than anyone in history. Lebron is #2, and MJ is #3. People will realize over time.
*"people are starting to realize Steph is better than Magic"* Um, what "people" are you referring to? Yourself????
FYI, this is why everybody can't stand Warriors fans. FYI, I love Steph too, but "people" don't think he's better than Magic (other than you). Magic has 5 rings. If Steph wins another one, we can have this conversation. If Steph wins 2 more, then it will be clear that he's better. You really need to get a grip man.
Players are the worst people to ask who is the Goat. There are Guys saying Dirk is top 5 and Kobe is the Goat.
The way hoop reports makes me delusional for the warriors!! I LOVE IT!
I agree 💯%
As much as I love Curry, I just don't know how many more championships this core has in them. Wiggens and Poole will both demand new contracts after next season, so beyond 2023 we'll need to see massive growth from their young players to off load some of the responsibility. Draymond is already showing signs of wear and tear. One more is definitely possible, but by no means easy. Two or three depend heavily on other factors.
Wow a curry fan with 🧠 brains! You know your basketball! Teach the others!
@@bernardjohnson6322 draymond will take a pay cut
yeah but with that first pick prospect anything is possible
Really good video I agree with just about everything here. My only thing I can’t see even if he wins let’s say 3 more, is getting past 4th all time. I think Jordan, Lebron, Kareem are untouchable for now. I’m a huge Steph fan and he has gotten better on defense but that would hold him back for me even if he were to win like 7
If Curry won 7 rings, 3 of them after the age of 35 and got fmvps each time, he would easily be in the same category as MJ and Lebron. As much as I’d love to see that, no way in hell is that happening. I’ll cry tears of joy if he can win 1 more chip. And I think that’s enough to cement him at top 5 or even 4 depending on his personal performance. Even Kareem isn’t untouchable. Curry did have an unprecedented personal impact on the game of basketball after all.
1. MJ 6+6 finals mvps
2. Kareem has 6 rings and 5 season mvp
3. Kobe 5, mvp, 81pts, scoring title, def.
4. Steph
5. Magic
6. Shaq
7. Duncan
8. Bird
9. LBJ
10. KD
The disrespect for Wilt and Larry Bird
Just imagine Curry with 7 rings😳😳
Can you make a video addressing the GP2 and Otto trades? Like how the warriors are still title contenders without them?
This is the only valid top 10 nba players of all time list I have seen anywhere.
I agree with you bro.
7rings...big possibility for Steph...go for it Steph...you and whole GSW team can do it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not a chance lmao
On the scale of sheer hard work and determination to overcome physical disadvantage, I put him on top one.
Curry is my second favorite player after Kobe. And Kobe would Top 1 if we talk about hard work and determination. If we actually rate players based on that killer mentality, Kobe would be top 1 for sure.
The Chef single handedly changed the game, he deserves a spot here even higher by the time he's done
Curry CLEARS Magic. I will die on this hill
If Steph finishes with 7 rings, he’s in the discussion. He has changed the game, more so, he may have changed the game for last time. This is more than likely how every generation will hoop from now on.
The culture he is responsible for is unmatched, he makes the team with his unselfish nature, add it all up and it’s hard to dispute in my eyes - 7 rings = greatest to ever do it.
If Steph wins 7 rings and has 3 Finals MVPs along with everything else the argument can be made he's surpassed LeBron in the Top 10 during his own supposed era.
If Steph wins 7 rings he's top3 nvm "discussion" for top 10
There’s no way he wins 7 rings.
@@carrastealth it’s crazy how it’s gonna take 7 rings for him to even surpass lebron lol
1 more ring + FMVP = officially top 7
2 more rings + 2 FMVP’s = top 5
3 more rings +3 FMVP’s = top 3
- He’ll have more than 4,000+ threes when it’s all said and done
- He should be in the 30K club in 5-6 years
- He’ll be officially the greatest PG ever
- Greatest shooter ever
- 2nd most impactful player to ever live (behind Jordan)
- He’ll have 1 more MVP as well
I think this case going as perfect as it could would only get him to top 2-3-4 but never 1. Only because of his few Losses. That goes 4 everyone
6-1 in the finals (with 6 FMVPs, not that he will get THAT) is better than 6-0…
@@Saltyahole he is 4-2 tho
Facts! Jordan will never ever be replace as the best in history! Im a solid curry fan but mj being undefeated is just absurd
I feel like you can’t compare a point guard to a center however I feel that with the 3pt line not being a thing back in the day definitely feel like top ten plays are definitely decided by each position. 10 pg 10sg 10sf 10pf 10c
Fax 💯💯💯💯
Wow, im early
Michael Jordan and Steph Curry both changes the game in their own eras. Both are great in their own way amd literally inspires and motivates people to be like them. With Steph Curry's career are all set and done, I do believe he'll be on the top 5 list along with MJ, LeBron, Kareem and Kobe.
Stephen Curry has joined the lobby
Steph: yo whose spot am i talking?
Top one🎉❤
Well : there are a few names you could have thrown in there. Hakeem Olajuwon possibly over Duncan , Moses Malone (3xmvp) , Elvin Hayes , might be a few others that are arguable. But that list is pretty close or close to good enough in terms of who are the top 10 , if you cut the modern era just based on they aren't done their career yet.
Elvin Hayes is top 20
He included hakeem.. and hakeem although a better player, but he doesn't have the team accolades and many other aspects to meet duncan(top 6) or even bird(top 10).. he's placed right, at top 12 alltime.. great enough
Other names u mentioned, they don't belong in the top 10 comparison and u know it..
can you do a video on otto porter and gp2 leaving along with jta, cuz i dont think the warriors can repeat next yr now, those were solid key bench players (not jta)
Damn I was really not expecting go2 to go at all
Not porter yea he played a part in the chip but they still would’ve won but gp2 on the other hand he was a big part of it with he’s defense
Kuminga and moody will get better and play more minutes, and wiseman will be back, and warriors just picked up Donte DiVinceno who is a good shooter and good defense like gp2 and can create his own shot
dont worry warriors will sign solid bench players and the youger players will also improve
@SkyRocket donte is good, but who is pat?
Steph Curry is amazing and should definitely be on this list. He has changed Basketball and has a skill that is remarkable which noone else has been able to replicate. He deserves to be on this list. And on top of all is amazing abilities he is an even better person.
Curry right now is 6th or 7th all time, in my opinion. I have him and Duncan almost tied, because they totally changed the history of a franchise themselves, like Jordan who is still no.1 because of his 6/6 and 6 Finals MVP in the '90s which were filled with talent.
Great video. Just want to say you gotta put Hakeem over Wilt. Wilts playoff and finals numbers drop down so much. Him and Jerry had their chances but didn’t get it done enough and way under performed. Jerry West deserves top 15 consideration if you look at it all too so and lost a few close game 7s. Both won 2 and Hakeem the greatest defender of them all. That puts Hakeem over Wilt. Splitting hairs on hallowed ground here but no way Wilt over Hakeem. That said the final current top 10 you show is solid.
The All-Time starting 5 has to have Steph on it. Otherwise, they won't be the best starting 5 ever. You can replace Jordan w/ Kobe, Shaq with Wilt, Bird with Lebron, and Russell with Duncan.... but there is no comparable player to Steph and as we've learned, shooting is king.
Larry Bird was playing golf ?
This is the most wrong, hot take ever. Not to mention the oddest starting 5 you could have.
My ranking:
10.Stephen Curry
9.Bill Russell
8.Tim Duncan
7. Wilt Chamberlain
6. Magic Johnson
5. Larry Bird
4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
1. Micheal Jordan
Kareem and Magic are both #3 and #4 all time. Kobe is not greater than them.
Those who say Steph is "not special, physically" are just feeding their own dream that if they just practiced hard like Steph, they too could be NBA superstars. I'm sorry to break it to you boys, but Steph is a gifted athlete who has the special quality of the desire to be the best. He has eye-hand coordination that maybe one in a million have. He is a leaper; just because he doesn't appear to jump as high as the 6'6" guys he plays with night in and night out doesn't mean he can't jump. Watch some RUclips clips of the guy dunking the basketball. There aren't a ton of 6'2" guys walking around who can dunk the basketball on fast breaks. Look at his ability to make quick decisions on a basketball court. The mental acuity needed to do that is pretty rare. Watch him play golf, or baseball. You get the picture. He is a truly gifted athlete who has worked harder than anyone any of us mere mortals know to hone his skills to be the best scoring machine the NBA has ever seen. If that doesn't put him in the top ten ever, I don't know what does.
He’s the only one with no teammates included in top 75 players and won this year’s championship.
No Zeke too
I’m a curry fan but curry is only 9/10 RIGHT NOW. I believe that at the end of his career he might be top five. But don’t count your chickens before hatch. However, His career is not done and he has a chance.
im a fan too but like u said dont count your chickens before the eggs hatch.. he still need to get more championships and man that will be awesome.
Who do u put before him ?
@@Browntedy mj, bron, kaj, magic, duncan, kobe, shaq are def ahead right now. wilt was insane but lacks a good pedigree, bird and curry are on the same level for me rn. i feel like he overlooks how dominant shaq was. basically couldnt be stopped. curry has higher scoring potential but shaq would prob be more consistent in his prime.
@@Jordan-wd7vv he didn't overlook Shaq's dominance, but Shaq shortchanged himself and the rest of the league with his terrible work ethic. You do realize that the peak Shaq we all acknowledge is only about 4-5 years long right? Out of 18 years, and for almost a decade he was a journeyman. For as dominant as he was, he didn't give the game his all and it shows. If he had taken the game 100% seriously, he could/would have been the GOAT. But because he thought life was too easy for him, he'd party and eat and show up to work out of shape. It left enough of an opportunity to be overtaken.
Steph is now on year 8-9 of being elite. Same amount of titles with no question as to whether or not he could win more, had a bigger impact on the league, and has never been questioned on his passion for the game. Steph has a similar level of dominance with none of the physical gifts Shaq has.
Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard.
@@Jordan-wd7vv Wilt is overrated and underachieved, Steph is a shorter but better version of Larry bird, gives you all of his shooting and passing but at a quicker pace and better efficiency. And I'd rather iffy ankles that got stronger vs a bad back.
I'd take Wilt out the top 10. For someone who made a name "imposing his will" on the league, it seemed like his Will to win was sorely lacking. There were many times where he prioritized individual success over the team. He was one of, if not, the first true "diva" of the league, only cares about his image and used his stats as leverage. And I'm not saying that trying to slander Wilt, but there's evidence and testament to that. You average 30 for a career but couldn't win more than twice? And those wins weren't even in his peak years that everyone lauds.
Agreeable.
With all the greats of yesteryear not even top 20 and never will be . A legend in his own mind.
