In a recent interview, Stephen Curry was asked to name his all time starting 5. He went on to make some intriguing choices. For the point guard position, he excluded himself to name the Los Angeles Lakers legend, Magic Johnson.

LeBron James is considered by many as the greatest small forward of all time. The all time scoring leader in the NBA has definitely made a resume strong enough to back those claims. However, Stephen Curry seemed unimpressed.

He further added, “Kobe is not a small forward…it’s just a bad list…just don’t make a list if you’re going to make a bad list. There’s only five questions on the test and you fail one of them, that ain’t great,” he strongly claimed.
