She narrated an inspiring story about Steph that Steve Kerr had told her a year ago. Last season, after a disappointing loss against the Timberwolves, every player was looking forward to getting into bed.

But Steph Curry couldn’t ignore the Warriors fans who had gathered in front of their hotel, “And Steph Curry stops and signs the autographs for those Warriors fans at 3 in the morning.”

Jefferson and Perkins both agreed that Steph’s cheerful spirit is truly incredible. It’s a major reason why he has so many fans all around the world. In fact, his legacy as the greatest shooter of all time is set in stone.

Right now, however, the Steph Curry-led Warriors are on the verge of the 2022 NBA finals. They currently lead the Dallas Mavericks 3-1 in the Western Conference finals. Meanwhile, Curry has kick-started a hot debate in the media after basically sealing his claim at the inaugural Magic Johnson Western Conference finals MVP trophy.

Steph vs Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal

Nobody doubts Stephen Curry‘s place in history as a generational talent who transformed the game forever. Moreover, he is the only unanimous MVP in NBA history.

However, Curry’s legacy is often questioned by critics due to the lack of Finals MVPs in his resume, despite winning three championships. Another point of contention for many experts is the creation of a ‘superteam’ by including Kevin Durant in the Warriors’ last two championship wins.

Therefore, Richard Jefferson vehemently opposed Kendrick Perkins’ opinion on NBA Today that Steph Curry should be put ahead of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in the list of greatest players ever if he leads the Warriors to the championship this year.

Incidentally, both Shaq and Kobe have only one MVP each compared to Steph’s two. Shaq has three Finals MVPs, Kobe two. While Steph has none. If the Warriors win this year, Steph will match Shaq in terms of championship wins. But Kobe will still have one more championship on him.
