Curry has good taste.
With three championships under his belt, Steph Curry is easily a lock for the Hall Fame once he retires. Curry is widely considered to be one the greatest shooters all-time and once he comes back to the Warriors lineup, he will be on pace to break the record for most three-pointers in a career. One day, he will certainly be on the starting five many future players’ all-time teams.
Recently, Curry was asked about his own starting five while appearing on Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes’ “All The Smoke” podcast. As you can imagine, Curry had some pretty big legends on his list. Curiously, he left out one his peers, LeBron James.
“Magic Johnson], Michael Jordan], Larry Bird], uhhh … oooh … wait … Shaq,” Curry explained. “Let me make sure I got my positions: Magic at] PG, Michael at] shooting guard, Larry at] small forward, and power forward? … Tim Duncan.”
It’s hard to disagree with any the players Curry put on this list. Of course, Magic Johnson is regarded as one the best point guards ever while Shaq is one the best big-men to ever walk on the court. At the end the day, lists like these come down to preference so you can’t be too mad at Curry’s picks.
Who would you have in your all-time starting five?
