“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

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.
