Gilbert Arenas has granted an exclusive interview to Vladtv and he explains why he thinks Steph Cury isn’t a top 5 point guard. According to Arenas, he thinks “top 2 guard.”
In this clip, Gilbert Arenas started off explaining why Steph Curry isn’t a top 3 point guard in the NBA, adding that Curry is a “top 2 guard.” He went on to explain why Curry can’t be put in the category of just being a point guard, and Gilbert added that Steph is a top 2 guard, with LeBron being at the top. To hear more, hit the above clip.
There are some who believe Steph is the greatest point guard of all-time. The resume seems to back up should be in the discussion.
Curry is a two-time MVP and won the award back-to-back in 2015 and 2016. The list of players who’ve ever done that is a who’s who of the NBA’s greatest players (+ Steve Nash).
Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Moses, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Duncan, and LeBron are the names that defined the different eras of the league. The only other point guards on that list are Magic Johnson and Steve Nash.
Steph has also won three titles. The only other star point guards to do the same since 1963 is just as short a list. There’s Magic Johnson, Tony Parker, and Dennis Johnson.
We can obviously conclude that Steph has had a greater career than Parker, DJ or Steve Nash, but Magic is of course the gold standard when talking about the all-time greatest point guards of all-time.
Magic has clearly reached the mountaintop of NBA basketball numerous times, both in terms of championships and individual MVP seasons, just like Curry has. But what Steph has under his belt over Magic Johnson is the greatest statistical season by a point guard in NBA history.
