“The difference between the careers of LeBron James and Stephen Curry is enough to make the Hall-Of-Fame”: Despite winning a 4th title the GSW MVP is miles behind The King’s accomplishments

Stephen Curry managed to win his maiden Finals MVP this year and has instantly been boosted up into many enthusiasts’ top 10 list.

Despite being an 8-time All-Star, 8-time All-NBA player, 2-time MVP, a multiple-time NBA champion, the three-point GOAT, and a future Hall-Of-Famer, Stephen Curry was heavily criticized for the majority of his career for not having a Finals MVP trophy in his cabinet.

During this 2021-2022 campaign, Steph managed to win his first-ever All-Star Game MVP, the inaugural Western Conference Finals MVP, and the long-awaited Finals MVP after defeating the Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

There is an entire Hall-Of-Fame career difference between LeBron James and Stephen Curry

To put it into perspective, the difference between the accolades of Steph and Bron are 2 MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, 10 All-Star appearances, 10-All NBA selections, and 6 All-Defensive selections. This alone is definitely enough to be a first-ballot Hall-Of-Famer.

Ever since the Warriors won their 4th title in the last 8 years, many have been regarding Stephen as the best point guard in the history of the game. However, the difference in accolades between Magic Johnson and the GSW star says something else.

Not taking away any credits from Steph for his incredibly successful career. But this goes on to show just how impressive legends like James and Johnson have been.
