Arguments always ensue on who the greatest player of all time is. Names like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant are always thrown into the mix. But the name that pops up the most often on top of the list is arguably Michael Jordan. Players are often compared to the Chicago Bulls legend due to the things he could do on the court.
Jordan’s accomplishment list is long but what draws more attention was the type of things he was able to do. The way he was able to dominate the game of basketball and the league. Jordan truly was a one-in-a-kind type of player. And the league possibly hasn’t come across anyone who could do the things Jordan was able to do on the floor.

Stephen Curry joins the GOAT debate
In recent conversations, Stephen Curry has also joined the list of names in the argument for the greatest of all time. Curry’s ball-handling skills, his court vision, and mostly due to his shooting abilities, it is safe to say that by the time Stephen Curry retires, he will go down as possibly the greatest shooter in NBA history. And the numbers back that up too.
The way Curry can cook defenders and shoot the ball from almost half-court ends up in some jaw-dropping highlight reels. The Golden State Warriors superstar has won four championship rings with the team so far. And it does not look like he plans on slowing down anytime soon.
