NBA Fans Disagree After Kendrick Perkins Says Stephen Curry Is Sitting At The Table With Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, And Larry Bird

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and he has recently won his fourth championship and his first Finals MVP. There's no doubt that this championship has improved Stephen Curry's legacy in the game.

Kendrick Perkins has recently claimed that Stephen Curry is now sitting at a table with all-time greats in Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird. Many fans disagreed with that claim, with some roasting Kendrick Perkins for saying Stephen Curry wouldn't win any titles in the next 4 years.

Steph Curry is officially sitting at the table with Jordan, Bron, Kobe, Shaq, Magic and Bird!!! Carry the hell on… #FinalsMVP

While Stephen Curry has accomplished a lot in the game, it seems as though some fans are still hesitant to put him among the best of the best. With that being said, there are definitely some, like Stephen A. Smith that have suggested that Stephen Curry is a top-10 player of all time.

"He’s a 3-time champion, 5 straight trips to the finals, alright, a 2-time league MVP, and oh, by the way, the greatest shooter god has ever created. It ain’t his fault he ain’t 7-1. And when Wilt was playing, he was damn near a foot taller than everybody he was going against. So how do you factor that in?

Steph Curry is 6-3. You got bigger, stronger, faster dudes guarding him all the time and there is nothing they can do about it. The dude is ridiculous.

Steph Curry is a threat the moment he steps past the half-court. Think about that. If you’re a defense, you almost can’t do zone. You almost have to extend yourself and go out and guard him which opens up the floor for everybody else cause this brother can pull up from 40. 40! He does it all the time.

If Stephen Curry does manage to win more championships in the future, it is quite possible that people will be more willing to accept the fact that his name should be mentioned with Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

It remains to be seen how the Golden State Warriors will do next season. With Stephen Curry at the helm though, they will have a chance to win it all once again, and if they do, Stephen Curry could re-shuffle the all-time rankings altogether.

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst. "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
