?If He Wins 5th, Have to Start the All Time GOAT Convo?: Despite Long Injury, Stephen Curry Eclipsing LeBron James and Luka Doncic Has NBA Fans Enraptured

NBA superstar Stephen Curry is not only the best shooter ever but is also one of the greatest players to ever do it in basketball. Last year when no one gave them a chance, he led the Golden State Warriors to their fourth NBA title in eight years. He also won his first-ever Finals MVP award in the process. This has made many of his fans to claim Curry is one of the top five players of all time. His performance in the Finals is a huge reason behind this as well. Playing in six NBA Finals, Curry has won four titles. Now, a new stat revealed the true extent of Curry’s popularity among fans.

The two-time MVP has been one of the most popular basketball players in recent years. It is safe to say that Chef Curry is a walking highlight reel despite his age. Fans around the world love Curry’s no-look three-pointers, flashy dribble moves, thread-the-needle passes, off-the-ball movement, etc.

Stephen Curry is now topping another stat this season. Despite his long injury layoff, Curry is the most viewed player across all of NBA’s social media platforms, racking up a mindboggling 485 million views.

Interestingly, superstar LeBron James only came in third with 268 million views and Luka Doncic came in fifth with 210 million.
