On January 6, Beijing time, former NBA star Kevin Garnett talked about Curry in an interview. He called Curry "the Jordan of this era", which shows the status of Curry in his mind. Some fans joked: it turns out that the number one Kumi is here!
Garnett mentioned Curry when talking about Wiggins. "He (Wiggins) is playing with Michael Jordan of this era. He can learn from Cole and the coaching staff... The team that once won the championship inspired Wiggins to play well. ”
Curry is the contemporary Jordan? Garnett clearly recognized Curry's influence. Curry is widely regarded as one of the most influential players in NBA history because his performances outside the three-point line could have changed the sport forever.
The 33-year-old has a career three-point shooting percentage of 43 percent, and he has surpassed Ray Allen as the all-time three-point king, with his three-point shots almost unheard of before he entered the league. He has also become the first player in history to hit at least 3,000 three-pointers. So far in his career, Curry has averaged 24.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, been selected as an All-Star seven times, won the regular season MVP twice, became the leading scorer twice, and won three NBA championships.
This season, the Warriors are seen as one of the favorites to win the championship, and at the moment, the Warriors are 29-7, the record is the number one in the league, and With Thompson coming back, this team will become stronger.
Garnett has previously talked about MVP this season and listed the top five he has in mind on social media: Curry, DeRozan, Lavin, Jokic and Durant. He put Curry at the top of the list.
