There's not a single player in the NBA that isn't good at basketball. However, there are only a few extraordinary players in the NBA. Steve Kerr has had the privilege to see two of the greatest to play the game up close and personal. Those two are Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and his former Chicago Bulls teammate Michael Jordan.

Having a front-row seat to these two NBA scoring machines, he's noticed one thing they both have in common.

“I think the focus on being great. The daily exercise of trying to get better even when you're already the best. That's what separates the great players from the talented, good ones. They never stop working to get better. That was true with Michael, and that's true with Steph,” Kerr told ClutchPoints.

These two legendary players have a couple of things in common but in different lanes. Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the greatest player ever, and Stephen Curry is widely recognized as the best shooter ever.

If the Warriors superstar wins the NBA regular season MVP, he will be joining Jordan as one of the oldest players to win MVP.

To be in the conversation as best anything in the NBA takes an unimaginable amount of work and sacrifice. When people talk about their success, they rarely leave out how hard they work. Their highly talented and skilled, but the most prominent ingredient is the work they put into their gifts.

These two extraordinary athletes' legacies will live on forever. The Warriors guard and Bulls legend are two of the most influential player the NBA has ever seen, and it's all because of their dedication to strive to be better every day.
