What else Curry can do

Stephen Curry might be the best player of all time when it comes to off-ball movement, and this is a reason why the Warriors revolutionized the NBA with their pace and space style. Everyone gets open looks because everyone keeps moving.

But what would they look like if Steph did not run around with his mastery? Steph could probably still be an NBA All-Time great even if he was a ball hog, but his selflessness makes his impact even more special and enjoyable to watch.

The result? All teams now need spacing. Today, everyone needs to shoot threes. Curry revolutionized the game. We are witnessing a different sport because of Steph.

Maybe it is not absurd to consider Curry a Top 3 point guard ever. It is not crazy considering him a Top 10 player All Time as of today.

When it is all said and done, maybe it will become easier to have those conversations. And this conversation will be louder if this season goes along as Warriors fans expect. Maybe another NBA ring? Finally, an infamous Finals MVP to cement his legacy?
