Stephen Curry once again made history as he drained the 4,000th three of his career in the Golden State Warriors’ win vs Sacramento Kings on March 13.
The four-time NBA champion picked up from where he left off as he added 28 points in their next game against the New York Knicks to lead his team to a 97-94 win on the night.
At 37, he has been playing some great basketball and now with Jimmy Butler in the lineup, it looks like the Warriors have enough to make another run at the championship.
Having secured all the laurels in his 16-year long career, he has lifted his name in the all-time great conversations, but moreover Curry has also elevated his legacy as an all-time great point-guard.
Many believe the Warriors star is the greatest point-guard of all-time, but not Stephen A. Smith.
Smith thinks Magic Johnson is the best point-guard over Stephen Curry
The NBA Countdown show were discussing the impact of Stephen Curry and how brilliant he has been over the years in the league.
Perkins named Curry as the greatest point-guard of all-time, but Smith took exception to his comment and said: “You want to call him the greatest point-guard to ever live when Magic Johnson is right in this city, a five-time champion, the greatest facilitator the world has ever known on the basketball court and you’re going use somebody over him, you at least need to explain why.
Smith stated Curry’s impact on the court is different, but Johnson was actually the player who had all the qualities required for a point-guard.
“When you listen to them talk about Magic Johnson being a facilitator, getting others involved that quintessential description of a point-guard will belong to Magic Johnson.
“When you talk about impact from the position because you got to keep your head on a swivel because you got to guard this brother the second he steps past half-court because he can shoot from 30, 40,50 [feet].
“His conditioning is just sublime, all of those things would point to Steph Curry validating what you [Perkins] said about him.
“To leave those things out and just throw out there ‘the greatest point-guard ever’ when Magic Johnson is still alive in this city, right down the road is sacrilegious,” Smith added.
Curry could breach the 5000 three mark
Curry became the all-time record three-point holder in 2021 and has since continued asserting his dominance from beyond the arc.
It took him just over three years to get into the 4000 threes club and it is only fair to think if he can breach the 5000 mark.
He is still playing the best basketball of his career and could certainly get to the mark if he stays fit.
His teammate Draymond Green had an interesting take on his achievement and the possibility of Curry reaching 5000 threes.
“If he want to he can get the 5,000, it’s just a matter of he wants to or not like if he wants to put that type of energy and effort.
“And if he want to he’ll get the 5000 before anyone else get the 4,000,” said Green on ‘Draymond Green show with Baron Davis.’
With Butler on the team, Curry has played a lot more freely and if he continues it for a couple of years, there is no doubt he breaches the 5000 threes mark.
