Stephen Curry's Argument For 'Best Player' Ever Draws Wilt Chamberlain Comparison

Does Stephen Curry have a GOAT argument?

Whenever the GOAT discussion is mentioned, it often starts with Michael Jordan, with players like LeBron James following soon after. 

Some would argue, though, that the "GOAT" should be determined by if/how you change the game of basketball, not just how you fit into it. 

That's exactly what Fox Sports' "Breakfast Ball" was debating Wednesday, as analyst Craig Carton wouldn't begrudge certain people for making the greatest of all time argument for Curry. 

"If you wanna argue Steph Curry’s the best player you’ve seen, depending on your age, I won’t argue against you," Carton said. "Only two players changed basketball: Wilt Chamberlain and Steph Curry."

Danny Parkins was quick to jump in and agree with Carton. 

"Steph basically was like 'Hey, remember three is worth more than two and I'm really good at shooting threes, so we should do that more,'" Parkins said. "Now everyone in the league does it more. He's the best shooter of all time. He's changed the game more than anyone since Wilt."

While they go on to agree that Curry's defense and athleticism weren't as good as Jordan's, they do agree that, in any hypothetical starting five argument, Curry has to be on your team. 

The Warriors are currently the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. As it sits, they wouldn't have to play in the NBA Play-In Tournament, which benefits the veterans on that team.
