Stephen Curry is the reason why the Golden State Warriors have become a powerhouse in the NBA. Before the skinny kid from Akron, Ohio, burst onto the scene, the GSW did not look like a championship-winning worthy team. Previously, they had won three titles, and the last one was in 1975. But then, who knew that the skinny kid could turn the franchise into a modern-day dynasty? However, he could not have done it alone. After two years of Curry as a rising star of the Dubs, two more names joined the franchise. They were Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. With Klay, Stephen Curry formed the Splash Brother duo and revolutionized the three-point shot.

Later, Steve Kerr became the head coach of the Warriors and along with the superstar trio, the Dubs went on to win four titles in a span of eight years. Moreover, Steph won two MVP titles during that span. On top of that, Curry became the three-point King as he scored the most points from the three-point range. Now, fans widely recognize the talisman of the Warriors as the greatest NBA shooter of all time. However, former NBA player Tracy McGrady got into controversy lately, saying he doesn’t see Curry among the Top 5 of all time.

On Sunday, there was a social media post that stated Steph Curry is one of the Top 5 greatest players of all time. In reply to that post, the former Houston Rockets shooting guard said he does not agree that Steph belongs to that list. Moreover, Tracy McGrady wrote Steph has been tripping on that. Not just top five, McGrady says, Stephen Curry has not even cracked his choice of top ten yet. Moreover, the former shooting guard added that one who’s eligible for the top five must lead the team to the playoffs no matter what. What if one of his teammates didn’t play well or was missing?

McGrady says, “If you can’t lead the team to playoffs, you are not one of my top five or even top ten.” After McGrady’s comment went viral, there have been mixed reactions. There were some fans who agreed with him and some just could not agree with the former shooting guard. Moreover, a fan said neither LeBron James or Stephen Curry should be on the top five list until they win their fifth ring. Some fans defended Stephen Curry, saying that it is not his fault if his team played terribly as a whole.

Can Stephen Curry Win His 5th Ring Next Year?

Steph led the Warriors to four NBA Championships in the period between 2015 and 2022. There were even a couple of NBA Finals that the Dubs lost in that period against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors. But talking about great players, Michael Jordan never lost an NBA Final series.

However, LeBron James and Stephen Curry could not manage to have that record. In the next offseason, the Dubs will have to make a lot of changes in their personnel. What if the Warriors sign James or Kevin Durant to play alongside the greatest shooter of the game? Then, the franchise based in the Bay Area can win more titles.
