Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history. He has proven himself to be an all-time great. But a new hypothetical question has people comparing him to one of the greatest players in NFL history. The 4x champion often indulges himself in other sports like golf, but we have never seen him take on football.
Justin Tucker is the placekicker for the Baltimore Ravens. He is widely considered the greatest placekicker in NFL history. Although the two are great in their own regard, NBA legend Robert Horry is picking Stephen Curry over Tucker if he is ever going to bet a million dollars.

Robert Horry believes more in Stephen Curry
In a recent episode of the Big Shot Bob podcast, Rob Jenners asked Robert Horry a unique question. Horry was asked if he would take Stephen Curry to make a free throw or Justin Tucker to make a 40-yard field goal if he was betting 1 million dollars.

Currently, Justin Tucker is having an unbelievable season in the NFL. Although he is considered the best kicker in NFL history, because of his recent miss against the Chargers, he fell to the 2nd spot in all-time accurate kickers. Yet it is still a harder question than it seems as he even had a game winning field goal just a couple of months ago from 66 yards.
But the 7x champion did not need much time to make his decision. Robert Horry quickly said, “Steph. I’m going free throw with Steph“.
Horry also mentioned that Curry is not currently leading the NBA in free throw percentage this season, but he is still Horry’s choice when betting a million dollars.
Is Curry the right choice over Tucker?
Although it seems like an easy choice, the numbers can really make people question their decision. The Golden State Warriors superstar is the greatest free-throw shooter in NBA history. He currently has an all-time free-throw percentage of 90.9%.
But when it comes to kicking under 40 yards, Tucker stands tall above everyone else. According to the Metro League, as of 2022, Tucker had 98.1% accuracy when kicking inside the 40-yard line.
