Although Curry doesn’t seem to have caught up to Bird just yet, he would appear to be far ahead of Bird if he were to win another championship with the Golden State Warriors.
Even though we are accustomed to seeing Stephen Curry and LeBron James battle it out in the NBA Finals, there is still a lot riding on this playoff matchup—even though it is only a second-round series. Despite the fact that James and Curry have both accomplished a great deal in their careers, it’s reasonable to question which player has more to prove in these postseason games. Not only does former NBA player Brian Scalabrine think that Curry still has more to prove than James, but he also asserted that Curry is higher on his all-time list than Larry Bird, which is sure to upset Boston Celtics supporters.
Indeed, due to lifespan. I’m going to get into problems for it in Boston. It is true that Larry Bird would have been superior if he had continued to play. However, LeBron’s numbers will be off the charts since longevity does important. And I am aware that Steph Curry is recuperating in those isolation tanks, dealing with body work and other issues. They used to think that smoking cigarettes and drinking a six-pack would help them recuperate. I get all that, but when discussing the all-time greats, you can’t just look at their body of work and ignore how long they have been doing it.” – Dan Patrick Show’s Brian Scalabrine
Is Larry Bird a better player of all time than Stephen Curry?
Given that he played for the Celtics for five seasons during his playing career and has grown to be a well-liked analyst for their games all season long, Scalabrine has strong links to the team. But Scalabrine chooses to disregard any possible prejudice in this instance and places Curry ahead of Bird on his all-time list. Considering how well regarded Bird is in Boston, Scalabrine is going to face a lot of heat for this statement.
However, there is some debate as to whether or not his assessment is accurate. While Curry can claim that his three-point shooting revolutionized the modern NBA, he has already won more championships than Bird. However, there are weaknesses in Curry’s argument that Bird does not have.
.Curry had some time to become a household name in the NBA, but Bird was an All-Star player from the moment he stepped onto the court as a rookie. Bird was also a very good and versatile player throughout his career, and Curry has made improvements over the years, but his defense still needs work. Curry appears to still have some work ahead of him to reach Bird, but Scalabrine’s assessment might come to pass if he wins another championship with the Golden State Warriors.
