Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is currently playing out of his mind in the NBA Finals as he has his team tied 2-2 with the Boston Celtics heading into Game 5 on Monday night. A lot of people don't consider him a top-10 player of all-time, but if you're asking Shaquille O'Neal, he believes Steph is undoubtedly in that conversation right now, especially given his current performances on the big stage for the Warriors.
“He's already in my company, me and Stephen had this conversation before. You know with so many great guys before and even after us, some guys have their special category that you can't mess with. For example, when it comes to the most dominant, Wilt, myself, the GOAT, you always got Kobe, LeBron, Michael, and when it comes to the greatest shooter of all-time Steph Curry is in their by himself. So does that make him top-10? In my opinion, it does. I love the way he plays the game, he plays with great energy, and knowing the great player he is, you knew he was going to have a game like that in order for them to win.”

The Warriors sharpshooter showed out for 43 points in Game 4 and has been essentially carrying Golden State throughout the Finals. There is no question he is the best shooter ever but Shaq clearly believes he's in that top-10 convo as well. If he finally wins Finals MVP and captures his fourth ring, it'll be hard to deny Steph of it. Especially when he's dominating at the highest level possible.
