JUST NOW: Charles Barkley Would Pick Stephen Curry vs. Two-Time Champion

Stephen Curry, a player with the Golden State Warriors, has solidified his status as one of the best point guards in NBA history. The four-time NBA champion has also won scoring titles twice, been an All-Star ten times, and been the MVP of the NBA Finals once. This is just one of many honors.

 

Curry is possibly the best three-point shooter in league history as well. In addition, he will easily finish his career as the league’s all-time leader in three-pointers made. Charles Barkley, a former MVP and current TNT pundit, would still not pick him over former “Bad Boy” Isiah Thomas despite his excellence.

Barkley declared that he would prefer the Detroit Pistons great to Curry while appearing as a guest on “The Dan Patrick Show.”

“I have nothing but respect for Isiah because, as I mentioned earlier, he was the best little player before Steph Curry arrived. To be honest, though, if I were in a game and had to choose, I would probably choose Isiah over Steph Curry because I know people would post about it online because they don’t have a life. However, I adore Steph and Isiah. However, I would never choose against Isiah if I had to choose between the two guys.

Throughout his 13-year NBA career, Thomas developed a respectable résumé. Thomas won two NBA titles and one NBA Finals championship.

In a March edition of “The Draymond Green Show,” Thomas expressed his opinion that Green, not Curry, was the team’s real point guard.

Thomas addressed Draymond Green, saying, “You are the point guard on the Golden State Warriors.” “Compared to Steph, you have more assists. You raise the ball. The offense is started by you. The defense is yours to set. You are in charge. Steph is one of the best shooters ever; he leaps off the screens, catches, and fires.

Thomas also claimed that Curry attempts to model his style of play after successful shooters such as Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

Thomas declared, “I won in a different way.” “As a point guard, I led my team to back-to-back championships by leading my team in assists and scoring. I may be the only person to do this. When Steph mentions Reggie Miller as someone he has looked up to, it makes me think of him. He discusses Ray Allen.

There’s a reason why Thomas is still regarded as one of the best point guards in league history. His ability to pass generally and to make plays is unparalleled. But Curry is also the more accomplished and, in my opinion, more gifted player. Naturally, contrasting two legends who played in different eras is difficult. It’s obvious that “The Round Mound of Rebound” benefits the player he faced directly, but either way, it’s a daring viewpoint.
