Speaker 1: I want to get into the NBA and the history
Speaker 1: we saw last night in San Francisco. That's where the
Speaker 1: one and only Steph Curry. Happy birthday, to your happy birthday,
Speaker 1: to your happy birthday. No, I'm not a singer, but
Speaker 1: he did turn thirty seven years of age today and
Speaker 1: the night before as in last night he made his
Speaker 1: four thousandth three point shot.
Speaker 2: So let's put the smile tone into this proper perspective. Please.
Speaker 1: You may recall that Steph broke the NBA's all time
Speaker 1: three point shooting record three years ago when he passed
Speaker 1: Ray Allen's mark of nine hundred and seventy three back
Speaker 1: in December of twenty and twenty one. Steph has since
Speaker 1: made more than one thousand threes and he's still going,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: He just turned thirty seven today. As I started.
Speaker 1: Off three seasons ago, he had reached the three thousand
Speaker 1: career mark on three pointers. He's averaging eleven point two
Speaker 1: to three point attempts per game this year, making four
Speaker 1: point four to three pointers per game, right, and those
Speaker 1: attempts are second to LaMelo Ball. And also Steph is
Speaker 1: shooting a here under forty percent from three for the season.
Speaker 1: Some people have said the real question is can occur?
Speaker 1: Can can Steph Curry reach five thousand and three pointers?
Speaker 1: Let's put this in this proper perspective. First, okay, do
Speaker 1: y'all understand that right now Steph Curry is eight hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy three. He has eight hundred and seventy three
Speaker 1: more three pointers than any play in NBA history.
Speaker 2: James Harden the second. You see his resume right there.
Speaker 1: Four time champion, two time MVP, ten time All Star,
Speaker 1: All NBA First Team four times, eleven time NBA All Star,
Speaker 1: two All Star Game MVPs, two time NBA Scoring Champion,
Speaker 1: NBA seventy fifth Anniversary Team Olympic gold medalist in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four.
Speaker 2: The resume is impeccable. It's other world, otherworldly.
Speaker 1: We all know this, okay, But with eight hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy three more three pointers than any player in NBA history.
Speaker 2: Second is James Harden.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that his three point percent is shooting
Speaker 1: forty two point four percent, third all time with the
Speaker 1: minimum of twenty five hundred attempts free throw percent of
Speaker 1: shooting ninety one point one percent. That's the best in
Speaker 1: NBA history, and his true shooting percentage is eighth all
Speaker 1: time at sixty two and a half percent. The brother
Speaker 1: is on another level. He's one of seven players in
Speaker 1: NBA history with at least four championships and two League
Speaker 1: MVP Awards. Bill Russell, kareemambdu Jabal, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson,
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, and Lebron James are the other six. All right,
Speaker 1: that's who we're talking about when we talk about Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: So when I bring all of that up to you
Speaker 1: and I throw out that resume, I have a very
Speaker 1: very very simple question, Ay, does he belonging to go conversation? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's not saying he's the goat. That means when you
Speaker 1: mentioned the goat or you have a conversation about the goat,
Speaker 1: you do need to consider the greatest shooter God has
Speaker 1: ever created, who's a fourth time champion and the two
Speaker 1: top league MVP, NBA Finals MVP, a Gold medalist.
Speaker 2: You kind of need to think about these things.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that was sacrilegious in a
Speaker 1: lot of people's eyes is when I brought up is
Speaker 1: he the greatest.
Speaker 2: Point guard ever?
Speaker 1: Now, my man, Daddie Johnson on NBA Radio and others,
Speaker 1: was like, that's just sacrilegious. Magic Johnson is the greatest
Speaker 1: point guard we've ever seen, John Stockton, Isaiah Thomas, Jason Kidd,
Speaker 1: Gary Payton, and others, Chris Paul, the point.
Speaker 2: God himself, CP three, they're all up there.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about quit the central prototypical point guards.
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm saying, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if you look at Magic Johnson, let's take
Speaker 1: into account Magic Johnson, who's five five championships. Okay, five championships,
Speaker 1: nine NBA Finals appearances.
Speaker 2: We get that part right. Here's what I want y'all
Speaker 2: to think think about.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking quin the central prototypical point guard that's
Speaker 1: setting up others. That's not what I mean with Steph Curry.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about impact on an offense. Magic Johnson six',
Speaker 1: nine with three eyes for crying out, loud one in
Speaker 1: the back of his head to in the, front.
Speaker 2: Okay with a sixth sense about.
Speaker 1: Him just a sublime point, guard affected the game in
Speaker 1: a myriad of ways that led to. Championships, well what
Speaker 1: the hell Has Steph curry? Done Steph curry has had
Speaker 1: people in the hospital receiving oxygen, because AS. Jr smith
Speaker 1: once Told Matthew delavdovo almost died Chasing Steph curry around
Speaker 1: all game. Long every defense has to keep its collective
Speaker 1: head on a swivel trying to find where he is
Speaker 1: at all times because he can pull up from. Anywhere
Speaker 1: his conditioning is top notch compared to. Anybody at age thirty.
Speaker 1: Six he just dropped fifty six a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Ago he's been averaging over thirty Since Jimmy butler. Arrived
Speaker 1: and by the, way with all of that being, said
Speaker 1: he is the only player IN nba history that you
Speaker 1: literally have to man up In god the second.
Speaker 2: He steps past half.
Speaker 1: Court that is how lethal the Great Steph curry is
Speaker 1: and has. Been it is who he. Is he's that,
Speaker 1: Phenomenal he's that. Great so, Again Magic johnson doing what
Speaker 1: he does impact compared To Steph curry doing what he does,
Speaker 1: impact what would you rather?
Speaker 2: Have it's a legitimate.
Speaker 1: Question Lebron james my number two all, TIME mj my
Speaker 1: number one BECAUSE mj at his, BEST i believe is
Speaker 1: the Greatest i've ever seen in my. Life and, oh
Speaker 1: by the, way let's not even Bring Steph curry into
Speaker 1: the category of.
Speaker 2: Him when it comes to, Defense.
Speaker 1: Lebron shows you what he can, do but he doesn't
Speaker 1: do it often enough defensively throughout his, career which is
Speaker 1: another REASON i got a number.
Speaker 2: Two but he's still number.
Speaker 1: Two because we see what The lakers look like Without
Speaker 1: Lebron james at age forty in his twenty second, season
Speaker 1: no doubt about, it and needless to, Say i'm just
Speaker 1: being showing my. Professionalism i'm obviously in no mood to
Speaker 1: show him any kind of, love but we gotta be.
Speaker 1: Honest i'm never gonna. Lie the man is that, phenomenal
Speaker 1: got him number two all, Time But shack is a.
Speaker 1: Right we gotta look At Steph curry a little, differently.
Speaker 1: Y'all it can't just be, well he is a great, shooter.
Speaker 2: And that's all there.
Speaker 1: Is his movement without the, basketball his ball handling, skills
Speaker 1: his ability to create his own shot off the dribble from,
Speaker 1: ten twenty, thirty, forty damn, it sometimes fifty and sixty.
Speaker 2: Feet he's that, Great he's that.
Speaker 1: Spectacular we got to give it to, him and when
Speaker 1: we got to give it to him on that, Level
Speaker 1: we got to ask, ourselves.
Speaker 2: Where do you put?
Speaker 1: Him if we gonna talk About kobe top five and
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about The Tim duncans of the world top,
Speaker 1: five how we he summarily dismiss the notion Of Steph
Speaker 1: curry being in that. Conversation definitely top. Ten and then
Speaker 1: if you're gonna say top, ten who do you take
Speaker 1: out of?
Speaker 2: It who take? Out do you take Out duncan take Out?
Speaker 2: Bird take Out? Kobe who's you take? Out who you
Speaker 2: gonna take? Out we got to ask ourselves these, questions won't?
Speaker 2: You you got to ask usself these.
Speaker 1: Questions All i'm saying is he warrants.
Speaker 2: A legitimate discussion.
Speaker 1: Because it's undeniable that he now belongs in the. Conversation
Speaker 1: if we're able to call him the greatest Shooter god
Speaker 1: has ever. Created as A i, mean if you're going
Speaker 1: to be in the goat, conversation don't you have to
Speaker 1: be the goat in?
Speaker 2: Something he's the goat when it comes to. SHOOTING i
Speaker 2: know about the resume Of.
Speaker 1: KAREEMUJABAR i know about the eleven championships in thirteen years
Speaker 1: From Bill. RUSSELL i know about how rules have to
Speaker 1: be changed because of the greatness of Wil, chamberlain even
Speaker 1: though he only had two.
Speaker 2: TITLES i Know Tim duncan's the greatest power foard that ever.
Speaker 1: Lived yannis at some point is going to belong in
