The Golden State Warriors had a nice break before the start of yet another NBA Finals trip as they faced off against the Boston Celtics. It did not go so well in Game 1 as the team choked away an early lead and lost all momentum thanks to a 17-0 run in the fourth quarter.
Steph Curry started out hot with 21 points in the 1st quarter, but he would largely disappear after that onslaught. Curry’s career has been talked about lately as he may get a chance to tie LeBron James in NBA titles won, but one NBA Insider dropped a bombshell on people comparing Curry to LeBron.
Patrick Beverley was on Get Up! on ESPN discussing how the Warriors could have easily won from 2015 to 2019, and then the debate of Steph Curry being in the same conversation would not even be debated.
Long time insider Brian Windhorst started laughing as he threw in his two cents about the topic.
“If Steph Curry wins the Finals and the MVP, when you talk about a guy with four rings, two MVPs, and a Finals MVP, you’re talking about the uber elite in the history of the game, [Michael] Jordan, LeBron, [Bill] Russell—Steph would be like five guys that have ever done that.
