Stephen Curry made a former NBA superstar change his opinion after brutal Hall of Famer answer

Stephen Curry‘s immense talent has led many NBA figures to view him as a future Hall of Famer, but there was one superstar who initially refused to include him, believing he didn’t have enough merit. However, Curry’s recent years in basketball have compelled this player to completely change their stance.

Stephen Curry’s path to becoming one of the greatest players in NBA history was well-documented, but there was one outstanding issue that led some to question whether he deserved to be a Hall of Famer.

Winning multiple NBA titles with the Golden State Warriors alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, being named Finals MVP, and breaking every record imaginable in shooting.

However, what Curry had longed for until just a few days ago was to secure a gold medal in the Olympics representing Team USA. This goal was finally achieved alongside stars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

A former NBA and his opinion about Curry

To the surprise of many, there was a former NBA player from the United States who, until recently, believed that Curry did not deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The central figure in this story is none other than one of the greatest players in history, Michael Jordan. In statements to Craig Melvin on Today, His Airness claimed that Curry could not yet be considered at that level.

“He’s still a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet, though. He’s not.”, Michael Jordan stated.

Team LeBron won 178-164.

The final goal for Curry

Before the announcement of the roster for the Olympics, Steph Curry expressed his excitement about representing his country for the first time and achieving the long-sought gold medal.

In a video posted on the Golden State Warriors’ social media, Curry stated: “I gotta go play for Coach Kerr in ’24. I gotta get something y’all got, I ain’t got. I ain’t good yet. I gotta go get an Olympic medal. Save me a spot bruh.”

Foreseeing what could be a perfect ending, Curry not only secured his gold medal but also earned the right to be widely regarded as a future Hall of Famer in the United States.
