“Why Are They Using Dudes With No Rings”: Tracy McGrady’s Bold Take on Stephen Curry Being Compared to Kobe Bryant Angers NBA Fans

With the Golden State Warriors taking on the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals, there is a lot of pressure on Stephen Curry. In case the Warriors pull off the win, this will be Steph’s 4th NBA title, which will be the same as LeBron James.

Moreover, he is looking to win the only major individual achievement left in his brilliant NBA career, the finals MVP award. Interestingly enough, former NBA star, Tracy McGrady doesn’t feel Curry’s legacy can be compared to other legends.

Talking about Curry, McGrady bashed all the Steph comparisons to greats like Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson. Although McGrady feels Curry ranks pretty high among legends, the Warriors star is nowhere near Kobe or Magic.

Tracy McGrady’s take on Stephen Curry leaves fans on Twitter enraged

There is no denying Curry is one of the most iconic players ever. He has 3 NBA titles to his name with a possibility of winning a 4th this year. Moreover, he has the unique distinction of having the most three-pointers to his name alongside other individual accolades.

These accomplishments certainly make him one of the greats. However, former NBA star, Tracy McGrady feels Steph is nowhere near the likes of Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson.

McGrady said, “When it comes to putting him with MJ and guys that won that level of championships; Kobe and Magic, I don’t know where to rank him. I know he’s pretty high. But I think those guys are in a different class than Steph Curry.”
