Stephen Curry might have just put his case forward for the greatest point guard of all time. The argument is gaining momentum and it looks like Tim Legler and JJ Redick agree. The two can be considered among the best sports analysts in the media. Redick even criticized Stephen A Smith and now, we’re starting to see why.

Basketball in a very technical sense is never seen as a sport where short people can dominate. By short we mean in basketball standards. 6 foot 3 inches is short. Stephen Curry is 6’3″. And yet, he might just have made a case for why athleticism isn’t all that in the sport.
With a scoring output and efficiency like no other Steph has carried the Golden State Warriors time and again. This time he is leading the line at age 35! And facing a legacy-defining series with LeBron James, he will be looking for a fiery start.
But all of that doesn’t matter. At least, according to JJ Redick. To the former Clippers player, Curry is already in the pantheon of greats, atop the famous Mount Rushmore of basketball.
Stephen Curry is atop Mount Rushmore, at least for JJ Redick!
JJ Redick and Tim Legler took to the podcast, The Old Man and The Three, to talk about the Mount Rushmore of basketball players. A facade that rarely ever changes.
Legler, a curious man, asked Redick about the players he puts on the facade, indicating that Steph might have made it. Given his recent string of performances, it might be true.
In the ever-changing landscape of the NBA, rarely do we encounter players like Stephen Curry. Just take a look at the animated discussion that the two have in this clip:
Stephen A Smith got destroyed by JJ Redick and now we see why!
Stephen A Smith recently came on air and talked about basketball, when he clearly had no idea what he was saying. JJ pounced on him and corrected him for his erroneous remarks.
And now we are starting to see why. JJ is leagues above Stephen when it comes to basketball knowledge. And it permeates through every take he gives.
Just watch how he dismantles Stephen over something silly.
