In this week’s NBA Power Rankings edition, we discuss how Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors will be remembered
Interestingly, the Golden State Warriors aren’t that hated team that the Big Three of the Miami Heat were. Instead of watching the Warriors to witness them lose, as many were tuning in during 2010-2014 for the Heat, it seems as if there’s a growing hope for the Warriors to break the Chicago Bulls 72-win record – amongst other things.
Which is weird and almost unprecedented for a team that is dominating the rest of the NBA. And that’s an understatement. Maybe that’s because the Warriors are lead by the squeaky clean Stepehen Curry, an talent that we – despite what Phil Jackson says – haven’t seen in the NBA before.
He’s hit 10 3’s in back-to-back games. That’s never happened in NBA history. He’s going to obliterate every three-point record there is by the time the end of his career approaches. He seems unguardable and can even square up from 30-plus feet to hit game-winners.
You can’t help but wonder how he’s going to be remembered, because he should be as one of the revolutionary players of this generation. He, and the Golden State Warriors, are changing the NBA by one made three-pointer and small-ball lineup at a time.
With that said, there’s a growing thought that Stephen Curry wouldn’t be able to play in past generations. While that’s easy to say, it’s completely wrong. So, take a seat Phil and Stephen Jackson. Get in line. I know there’s a rush to be wrong about Curry, but I guarantee you’ll all get your chance.
The Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry will both got down as all-time greats. Curry is already considered the best shooter in NBA history and he could go down as the best point guard of all-time. Yea, I didn’t stutter.
