Stephen Curry's place among the all-time greats has been a major talking point in the past few days. While the takes have been mixed with positive and negative remarks, one things is certain: the Golden State Warriors superstar is a proven winner.
Of course some would argue that he got a ton of All-Star help, but numbers don't lie. According to Tom Haberstroh of Medowlark Media, Curry is a career 21-4 in playoff series. Those numbers are better than Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson's postseason records.
Going deeper, Curry has an 89-39 record in playoff games, which is still better than any other MVP in NBA history. For those arguing he had Kevin Durant for a couple of years, it is worth noting that his playoff win rate is at 48-26 in those games without the now-Brooklyn Nets superstar.
Here's the crazy thing:
If you take out Steph's games with an NBA75 teammate (KD), Steph's Playoff Win% is 48-26 (.649), which is still better than Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant and Larry Bird's career rate — with all their NBA75 teammates. https://t.co/VfgtfAZvY8

Stephen Curry has done it all in his career, and while he will always have his detractors, no one can ever take away from him what he has done and achieved in the league.
The Warriors sharpshooter now has a chance to add more to his legacy with another trip to the NBA Finals. Should he and the Dubs win the Larry O'Brien trophy once again, it'll mark their fourth title in eight years. That's more than amazing if you ask us!
