Curry’s legacy is sealed and there is a new challenger for the greatest PG title
The greatest point guard of all time, who would it be? Magic Johnson? The likely answer is yes. Stephen Curry? Before he won his 4th title, there were a lot of question marks.
However, no one can deny that a debate is now brewing. While Steph may not have the passing number, he certainly possesses the guile.
Whether or not you pit him as your greatest, there is no denying he is in the conversation. And tonight, he may just unleash his skill to prove his point.
