?Slap in the Face to MJ?: Stephen Curry Fans Go Berserk As 5x NBA Champion Makes Audacious Michael Jordan Claim

The league, since its inception, has seen several players dominate the hardwood over the years. However, it has perhaps never produced another player like the great Michael Jordan. MJ was in a league of his own among all the stalwarts. However, recently, the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry, drew comparisons with the 14x All-Star from a five-time NBA champion. Meanwhile, the words of comparison from the five-time champion grabbed fans’ attention on social media and made them reflect on the audacious claim.

Curry is one of the most elite basketball players ever, who is surely in the league of greats. However, getting compared with MJ is an accomplishment in and of itself. Recently, the Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr showered adulations on the Dubs superstar and made an audacious admission by comparing the Baby-Faced Assassin with His Airness.

In the post-game conference after the game against the Washington Wizards, Kerr compared Curry with Jordan. During the sit-down, one interviewer asked how it felt like to get the home crowd of Washington in favor of the four-time champion and the Warriors. In reply, the 57-year-old boldly said, “[Steph]He’s the modern MJ. I used to see playing with Bulls, half the crowd’s got red 23 jerseys on and now half the crowd’s got blue and yellow 30 jerseys.”

Subsequently, Kerr added, “Steph transcends the game. He elicits an emotion from people because he is so awe-inspiring with his play that no matter where we go, there are people who are cheering for him and can’t wait to see him perform…He is incredibly inspiring and as a result, we get a ton of support.”
