Can Curry add to his HOF resume?

It has been 15 years since Stephen Curry got drafted into the NBA. While many expected him to be a decent guard in the league, no one expected him to impact the game of basketball like he has. Steph is a first-ballot Hall of Famer even if he decides to hang his boots today. But the Baby-Faced Assassin is chasing his fifth Championship. He is still playing at an All-Star level, averaging 26.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 4.2 rebounds. However, the Warriors are far from winning the title this season.

Stephen Curry and Co. are 12th in the Western Conference with a 17-20 record. With Draymond Green returning to the line-up soon and the Warriors looking to make an offer for stars like Pascal Siakam and Zach LaVine, there is still a chance that Steph’s team can turn their season around.
