Michael Jordan, considered the greatest basketball player of all time, was known for his dominance and competitive nature on the court. Meanwhile, off the court, there is a security and self-confidence about him that always makes a strong impression on others.

There are a lot of times that he has made statements regarding other NBA players. Yet it’s unusual to see a player confront Jordan after one of his statements. That’s what happened in this case. There was a conversation between Stephen Curry and Jordan at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits back in 2021.

The conversation began with Stephen asking Jordan about his quote from 2019. Jordan gave an interview to “Today” with Craig Melvin, in which they talked about his career, other current players, and many other topics.

Jordan then inquired if he wanted to make any changes to the list of players that would be unbeatable in a pickup game back in 2013.

When asked whether he would continue to include Hakeem Olajuwon, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen, and James Worthy on the list, he responded that he would not. In response, “So, Steph Curry shouldn’t be offended when he watches this,” Melvin pointed out.

To which Jordan responded with his point of view, stating: “I hope not. He’s still a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet though,” Jordan added. “He’s not.” As a result, Stephen recalled that this was the very first question that he asked Jordan in their conversation.

Stephan mentioned in his conversation regarding his interview with Jordan that he learned a lot from him and had a lot of fun talking to him. In addition, he mentioned: 

“That was the first question, and they just edited it out,” Curry jokingly said on the “Hoops, Adjacent” podcast with David Aldridge and Marcus Thompson III. “He said ‘first-ballot, Hall of Fame, no problem.’”
