They actually played each other in the finals in 1964. Boston won because they had Russell, who was the Jordan of his day (or the Shaq).

The warriors also had a really good bench w a lot of young players who needed to prove for themselves. With the help of weathered veterans and a great coach, these players have a bright future even if they leave the warriors. As of Tatum, I think he will be even better in the next couple years.

Bob Cousy: the ball handling magician of his day. You might pair him with Meadowlark Lemon, who influenced a lot of kids in those days with his ball handling shows for the Globetrotters. Magic & Bird. They must go together, of course. Take it from me, the NBA was dull in those days (the excitement of ‘three to make two’). These guys jazzed things up. The ABA.

Steph Curry not only is God's greatest shooter ever made, he also played a great defensive role to round out the Warriors defense prowess that is the best in the league. Steph is a legend along with Klay and Dray...

I think Shaq was equally big of a game changer if not bigger. That was the time when we saw paint dominance. With players like KG, Duncan,Ming other bigs taking the center stage. In terms how the game was changed I think Shaq and Curry are the ones who defined eras for how basketball is going to be played moving forward.

The warriors in my opinion will be chip contenders next season for sure, Stephen Curry is now top 10 of all time no matter who says this or that. The Celtics on the other hand need help. Tatum needs to improve because he is inconsistent. Jaylen Brown to me was always the better Celtic than Tatum. Tatum just hasn't taken a leap of faith and move on to another level. It is like the whole Celtics squad disappeared except for Brown, Horford, and Williams which played great.

@@someshnarayan7368 I believe that mentality can be gained over time. It just takes a lot of practice and experience. Some have it earlier, some may gain it later. It just depends who they surround with and coaches. Kobe was nowhere like that when he started off, did he have the technical abilities? Sure, but he took time to develop to the next level after Shaq left bc he wasn’t in the shadows anymore and found his role. Funny thing is that Kobe lost in the finals against an experienced Celtics team 2-4 in 07/08 (2 years after shaq). This current Celtics team (average age below league’s avg) on paper looks great, I believe they have a good shot at winning the finals the next upcoming seasons as long they can retain everyone and add that extra umph/player to the team. I lived in Europe half my life and it’s different mentality out there then over here in the States. As of now Tautum is a team player, asking him those kind of questions after losing the finals is kind of unfair to judge him.

7:21 recency bias kicking in. Steph Curry's impact on the game and how it's played is significant for this generation of great players, but don't pretend that others on this list didn't impact it in an equally significant way, particularly Shaq. There were A LOT of rule changes and style changes made to the NBA because of Shaq, like introducing the Zone defense to the NBA. He was just as unstoppable though in a different way than Steph and his impact is every bit as significant! Other players who came before Steph who changed the game and how it's played: Bob Cousy Wilt Chamberlain David Thompson Julius Erving Magic Johnson Kareem Abdul-Jabbar A far from complete list, but let's not pretend like the NBA was boring and unwatchable the previous 60 years before Steph came along with his barrage of perimeter scoring. So many players impacted it equally if not more significant ways before he was even born.

I love Curry as much as the next guy but he still hasn't passed any of the guys you named - Kobe in particular. Yes, Steph is an all time great, that has 4 rings, 2 MVP's and a FMVP (finally). He also helped revolutionize the game into what it is today. However, let's not act like Kobe wasn't everything Steph was, and more... 5 rings, 2 FMVP's, and an MVP. Inspired countless with his mindset, and unlike Curry, he was an elite defender. Not decent or good, elite, and defense is half of the game. Again, all the respect to Curry, but let's not be prisoners of the moment. Guy still has a few good years ahead of him, and he has more than a chance at getting more rings and a FMVP or two. I just don't get this disrespect to the other greats... I mean hell, at least let the guy retire first...

My problem with this narrative is why with those same Accolades is everyone cool with Kobe being 9, and Bron being 2. Steph has the same amount of titles with less finals and now has almost as many trophies as Bron and a few that he doesn’t. Including the leagues first unanimous mvp and unanimous Finals MVP. 3000 3 point record and counting. And he’s changed the game of basketball. Bron has had a longer career and is still playing, but he still gets to be ranked #2. I’d rather be a prisoner to the moment than a prisoner to history and not be able to admit when we’re seeing something we’ve never seen before, and he’s done it with the same team. Kobe wasn’t everything Steph is, his percentage isn’t the same. If Kobe hit 50, he put up 100. It’s not the same. And we’re comparing elite defense to a 6’3 point guard. I’d put Kobe and Steph in front of Larry Bird. He didn’t ‘help’ revolutionize the game. HE revolutionized it. Don’t downplay that man’s accomplishments

I'm also not big on the LeBron hype train, he is definitely top 5, maybe top 3, and he will likely finish as top 2 - But again, personally, I'd wait to see if he gets a few more accolades under his belt - Like breaking Kareem's record. I value rings really highly, but I also think that not every ring is the same. For example I would put Hakeem over Shaq in my list, although it would be a close call. It's well known that Kobe wasn't the most effective player. But he also played in the slowest, most defensive dominant, and least effective era - Just look up the stats. I'm not denying that Steph is more efficient than Kobe - Hell, he's one of the most efficient players (shooters namely) in history. But when you look at what each of them did, and how they contributed to their teams, Kobe did more. Again, defense is half of the game. You cannot simply discredit something as major as that. Nobody is expecting him to have a DPOY under his belt, but it's only recently that he's became an average, to slightly above average defender. For a big part of his career he was below average, and a liability. Kobe on the other hand was elite for most of his career, and average for a small part near his retirement - This doesn't only apply to Kobe either; both Duncan and Hakeem were elite defenders as well. And I'm not downplaying his accomplishments either. Just because I have him in the top 12-15 range on my list doesn't mean that I think he's bad - He's still (at least) a top 15 player OF ALL TIME. That's still amazing. I just don't think he deserves to go in front of some of the other guys for simply "revolutionizing" the game - I mean each and every person in that top 10 revolutionized the game in their own way. You can argue that Steph was more impactful than most, but is that really enough to just outright disregard everything else? I mean Duncan has more rings, more FMVP's same amount of MVP's and 15 defensive first teams to Curry's 0. Does that not count for anything?
