Additionally, the 3 times Sixth Man of the Year asserted that Curry might end up with the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and others if he keeps on going. But that status is still uncertain for the greatest shooter of all-time as of now.
Twelve names: Bill Russell, Hakeem, Larry, Kareem, Kobe, LeBron, Magic, MJ, Shaq, Steph, Tim Duncan, Wilt…who makes your All-Time Top 10? Steph makes my list, @JCrossover says Steph is in his Top 10-15…but we both agree, you can't say for sure until he's done playing: pic.twitter.com/2uVIzpolMy

Crawford said, “His book is still being written, but I would say he’s somewhere in the top, without thoroughly thinking about it, somewhere in the top 10 or 15 right now.”
He further added, “I seen a lot of old school guys, obviously from the Kareems, the Magics, the Kobes and all those guys. So, he may end up right there with everybody else. But right now, he’s still going. So it’s like, alright keep going, and we’ll talk about it.”
Curry might very well surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and Magic Johnson in the coming years. The 2016 unanimous MVP still has a few years in his tank, which might lead to some more NBA titles. Considering Curry wins one or two more rings, he might very well enter the GOAT conversation along with LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
