Warriors GM Bob Myers on Steph Curry's lukewarm praise as an all-time great: "I don't (get it) either. This guy is a made-man. Forget about this Final, it's already been done, he's already done it. He's already proven it. I don't know what else he has to continue to prove. That stat, I read that, it's tremendous. But why is that eye-opening? Why can't that just be 'oh yeah, he is as good as those guys.' It's almost 'oh my gosh I didn't know Steph averaged those kinds of numbers.' Then what are you watching? What are you looking at? He's been doing it, this is his sixth Finals in eight years. Have we not watched him? Have we not watched him over the regular season? IĀ don't know if it's envy, I don't know what it is about him that causes people to fail to recognize what he's doing out there, or reluctantly praise him."
Rob Parker: āWhen you talk about all-time greatness people are going to nitpick at your resume. All these times in the Finals yet you havenāt won a Finals MVP, and you havenāt had these moments where youāve knocked down a big shot. Itās more than one thing. Sure he has put up numbers but if there was a signature moment in the Finals where Steph knocks down a big three and they win the game or a win a championship on that shot it would be different. We donāt have a signature shot in the Finals, we donāt have a Finals MVP, and we saw in Game 1 where he went 'Casper the Friendly Ghost' in the last six minutes of a team loss, so weāve seen those moments. Thatās why everybody is not in lockstep over Steph Curry. It doesnāt mean they donāt respect his ability or his talent, but he doesnāt have that āmomentā and thatās what people look for. Theyāre looking for the Michael Jordan shrug of the shoulders [1992 NBA Finals], or some big shot where you go āOMG that gave me goosebumps!ā or ādid you see that shot to win the game??ā We havenāt seen it. I donāt get why people act like Steph has done everything, NO HE HASNāT. He hasnāt given us those memories yet and thatās what people want and are trying to get. Heās incomplete because he hasnāt given us those moments yet. I think itās fair to say that Steph is not there yet because we donāt have any of those. I donāt think everyone believes that heās a top 10 player, or that heās better than Magic Johnson.ā (Full Segment Above)
