Former Golden State Warriors Guard Gilbert Arenas has expressed his conviction that Steph Curry does not belong in the goat conversation. His comments come in the midst of growing support from players, former stars and analysts who have argued that Curry is called in addition to legends such as LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
During the latest episode of his podcast “Gil’s Arena”, the triple All-Star offered an in-depth explanation about why he feels Curry’s case because he is the greatest of all time. Arenas emphasized that, despite the fact that he is a four-time NBA champion, Curry lacks the individual awards that is usually associated with goat status.
“He misses a lot (from references). Scoring titles, final MVPs. If we are talking about the best player ever, you can’t lean on team guards,” said Arenas. Everyone wants to lean on such rings, actually helps your business for the best player ever. The best player ever is what you first did as an individual. “

When it comes to the individual distinctions from Steph Curry, the Superstar Point Guard has an impressive CV with two League MVP Awards, One Finals MVP, two score titles and 11 All-Star Selections, in addition to numerous other awards.
Although Curry, however, has secured four NBA championships, he was not mentioned in three of those victories. Lebron James and Michael Jordan, on the other hand, reached the MVP final -every time their teams conquered the championship, a distinction that was often cited in debates around the greatest of all time.
