With both the superstars being some of the greatest ever in the respective games, their resumes are as prestigious as they can get. While the NFL quarterback is a 2-time Super Bowl Champion, 2-time Super Bowl MVP, and a 2-time NFL MVP, the NBA’s 3-point king is a 4-time champ, 1-time Finals MVP, and 2-time league MVP.

During a segment on ESPN’s First Take, the panel discussed the careers of Steph and Patrick. Taking turns in stating which of the two makes their sport more exciting, Stephen A Smith picked the 9-time NBA All-Star. SAS said:
Both of them have made their respective sports incredibly exciting… But for me, it’s always going to be Steph Curry from the standpoint that he’s revolutionized the game of basketball. You see the 3-point shoot as the weapon that it is. This man is the greatest shooter I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d say he’s the greatest shooter god ever created. Steph Curry is my answer.
NBA & NFL Twitter react to Stephen A Smith’s pick
As soon as the clip went viral on social media, NBA and NFL Twitter erupted with reactions.
Stephen Curry in the 2022-2023 season
The Golden State Warriors are having a horrific season. Sitting in the bottom half of the Western Conference standings, the defending champs are far from looking like one of the frontrunners to win the 2023 title.
Steph, who has been injured and missed out on 20 games this season, was having a terrific individual campaign despite the team’s struggles.
Playing 34.6 MPG, the 8-time All-NBA team has been putting up 29.4 points, 6.4 assists, and 6.3 rebounds per game.
Dub Nation will hope that the Chef soon makes his return, in order to boost the SF-based franchise’s playoff chances.
