"No one has scared me more than Stephen Curry": Celtics analyst Dan Greenberg admits the Warriors MVP keeps him awake over LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Giannis

Stephen Curry is now one series victory away from winning his 4th NBA title. The GSW leader could very possibly add a Finals MVP hardware to his cabinet.

The Western Conference Finals have come to an end. Grabbing a 120-110 Game 5 win, it is the Golden State Warriors who advance to their 6th NBA Finals appearance in 8 seasons after defeating Dallas Mavericks 4-1 in an entertaining series. And now, Stephen Curry is merely 4 wins away from adding a 4th ring to his stacked resume.

In this postseason run, Chef Curry has been doing a phenomenal job in leading this somewhat inexperienced pack. The 2-time MVP has averaged a solid 25.9 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.9 rebounds so far in the 2022 playoffs.

Recording 23.8/6.6/7.4 against Luka Doncic and co., Steph managed to win the Western Conference Finals MVP honor, adding the inaugural Earvin “Magic” Johnson Trophy to his cabinet.

NBA Twitter debates what winning another ring means for the legacy of Stephen Curry

As Steph sits 4 games away from winning yet another title, and possibly winning his first-ever Finals MVP, NBA Twitter debates what the 4th ring on his resume means for The Baby-Faced Assassin’s legacy.

A Twitter user believed that Curry would replace Larry Bird on the top 10 player conversation if the former wins a 4th title.

There were some who agreed with this take and some who didn’t.

It is pretty understandable why fans want to add him to their top 10. The man is an 8-time All-Star, 8-time All-NBA player, 2-time MVP, 3 titles, and has won 2 scoring titles. Throw in a 4th title with a Finals MVP in the mix, Curry’d definitely have a solid case to replace one of the legends on the esteemed list.
