Trae Young is an All-Star starter for the second time in his career. Finally, it feels like his game has started to receive the credit it deserves. Trae Young took the league by storm ever since he was drafted to the Hawks. His shooting style, accuracy, and volume reminded fans a lot of Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry is undoubtedly one of the greatest basketball players of all time. And in a physical game like basketball, Curry uses his skills and exceptional shooting ability to leave his opponents stunned. As even Draymond Green agreed, Curry has inspired an entire generation of basketball players to focus more on shooting than any other aspect of the game.

Have we found the next Stephen Curry in Trae Young?
Curry completely revolutionized the sport. So much that it was indeed bound to happen that in the coming drafts, the fans start looking for the next Stephen Curry. And for a while, it seemed like the perfect fit that Trae Young was the one who they dubbed as “The Next Stephen Curry”.
However, when asked about who he feels are the top 5 players of all time, Trae snubbed Curry. Some NBA fans felt that it was disrespectful of him to forget the player who he allegedly ’embodies’ the most. In a tweet that has now resurfaced after almost 2 years, Trae Young wrote his top 5 players of all time. He snubbed out Curry and rather put Steve Nash in what would’ve been Steph’s spot.
