During the interview, Steph asked MJ a lot of things, including a question every Curry fan has wanted His Airness to answer since 2019.

Stephen Curry discusses his HOF eligibility with Michael Jordan

Back in 2019, Michael Jordan had claimed Stephen Curry wasn’t a Hall-of-Famer yet. He acknowledged Curry’s greatness, but dismissed him as a lock for the HOF.

Fast forward two years, Stephen Curry had a chance to ask the GOAT about his thoughts now. Steph was on the Athletic NBA Show, where they asked him about confronting MJ about his statement. Curry revealed that he talked about the same during the Ryder Cup.

Marcus Thompson: “So, did you ask him if you are a Hall of Famer now?”

“The first question, I just blurted it out, and he said, ‘First-ballot Hall of Fame, no problem.’ That’s verbatim what he said.”

David Aldridge: “But did you ask him if he likes you now more than he likes Russ?”

“No, we didn’t get into that one though.”
