Dirk Nowitzki chimed in. The future Hall of Famer has played in the NBA since 1998, becoming the greatest shooting big man in league history in the process. In less than 7 full seasons, Curry is less than 200 threes away from passing the German.
No way

Two of my personal favorites right here. Damian Lillard, who handed the Warriors their most recent loss, with simple yet valid input. Kristaps Porzingis, super stud for the New York Knicks, having an existential crisis.

Curry’s performance came after Oscar Robertson criticized the modern NBA and discredited what the reigning MVP is doing.
Pretty sure Curry would score like this or more in any era #sorryoldschoolhoopers #thegameisbetternow #respecttheevolution

Arguably the greatest point guard of All-Time, Magic Johnson, tweeted out the boldest statement of the night. And, the crazy thing is, his thought may not be all that off.
.@StephenCurry30 has a chance to be the greatest player we've ever seen, if he plays at this level for the next 4-5yrs!
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 28, 2016
The torch was passed a long time ago. It is Curry’s league. LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all-time, but he’s no longer the top dog in the NBA.
@StephenCurry30 needs to stop it man!! He's ridiculous man! Never before seen someone like him in the history of ball!
— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 28, 2016
Steph Curry is several notches above everyone else and, when he gets to that higher level, fans and players alike just have to sit back and watch.
