Stephen Curry's illustrious career with the Golden State Warriors has featured numerous championships, MVP awards and the revival of a franchise that didn't have much previous high-level success before him. Yet, questions remain about how dominant he truly is.

Former NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal opined that Curry is great in his own right but not truly dominant. Draymond Green isn't buying it. According to Howard Beck of Sports Illustrated, he is sick and tired of hearing that his Warriors teammate isn't dominant. In his view, someone who changed the game as much as he has showcased how dominant he is.

“Have you ever seen what he does to a defense?” he asks about Curry, his voice rising. “That is dominance.”

“The whole NBA is playing a brand of basketball created by the ideology of Steph Curry,” Green says. “And you tell me that’s not dominance? You tell me that’s not sitting along the same lines of the greats? I'm sorry—no disrespect to other guards that have come before him—but the majority of guards don’t have an era that they defined the way that era of basketball was played.”

Green's case is hard to argue. Curry and the Warriors redefined how a team can be dominant. Six appearances in the NBA Finals in eight years is truly a huge feat. How can the face of that team not be considered dominant? The description doesn't need to be held for players who are physically overpowering, as Warriors general manager Bob Myers said to Beck.

With the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics coming up, Curry will get another shot to prove his dominance.
