Stephen Curry is one of the greatest point guards to ever grace the basketball court. But is he the greatest to ever play the position?

“The Greatest Shooter Who Ever Lived.” Will the title so synonymous with Stephen Curry, eventually become an undersell of this all-time great. Curry’s eyes are targeting a mark higher than just the “Greatest Shooter Ever” (an unattainable achievement for most).

For Curry, replacing Magic Johnson on the NBA’s Mount Rushmore and solidifying himself as the “Greatest Point Guard Ever,” is the endgame.

Stealing the crown from Magic Johnson is not easy. Curry has been the closest player to do so and he’s not done trying it. When he finally decides to hang it up, there will be four main factors on why he’s the greatest: likeness, numbers, impact, and longevity.
