Steph Curry and Golden State showed up and out last night, snagging their fourth NBA title. In just eight years the team has fought hard. And against all the obstacles and injuries they faced they came together to finish the series in six games against the Boston Celtics. On top of the NBA Championship title, last night Steph Curry won his first Finals MVP award. According to many NBA fans clinching this award makes Steph Curry a GOAT. But is that the truth? Does simply winning that trophy one time make him one of the greats of all time?
Why Are Fans Calling Curry A GOAT?
Immediately after Curry was handed the Bill Russel award fans took to Twitter. Putting Curry on the list of the top ten greatest players of all time. But some disagree. Without a doubt Curry has earned the right to be brought up in these conversations. The man has four championships, a finals MVP award, and is one of the greatest shooters.
Some of the comments that caught attention were, “My guy deserves everything, built this Warriors franchise and made it a Dynasty! TOP 10 ALL TIME GREAT!” “Steph Curry is officially sitting at the table with Jordan, Bron, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, and Bird!!!” On top of these comments, some fans even claim that Curry has now tarnished LeBron’s title as the GOAT and is going to surpass him. But still people are going back saying that Steph Curry may be a GOAT when it comes to shooting. But he can’t control the game like other players, LeBron included, can. Many argue that there is a lot more to the game than shooting. Doubters of Curry’s seat at the GOAT table bring up his inability to rebound as well as his impact and control of the game. Only time will tell where Curry will end up on that list.
Regardless, Golden State and Curry deserve this, Congratulations to the entire franchise!
