Stephen Curry, man. What else can you say about him? The Golden State Warriors star has been one of the greatest players of his generation. He has led the Warriors to multiple Finals appearances, multiple rings, and a LOT of regular season success.
After the Warriors' Game 5 win to eliminate the Dallas Mavericks, though, Chef Curry's legacy has been elevated to new heights. Stephen Curry became just the eighth player in NBA history to win multiple MVPs and have 6 or more Finals appearances. The company he has on this list ain't too shabby either. (via StatMuse)

Russell, Wilt, Kareem, LeBron, Magic, Tim, and MJ. That's not a bad list to be a part of, at all. The Warriors star has completely taken over the league along with his team. It's completely fair to say that Curry will go down as one of the greatest players of all-time, period. Not just the greatest shooter, but one of the greatest players of all-time.
Curry's rise to superstardom is as unprecedented as it is unexpected. Prior to his breakout season in 2014, the Warriors star didn't really show signs of being a mega-star. However, the Dubs' meteoric rise to the top saw Curry take the leap from great All-Star to superstar in this league. His abnormal shooting took the league by storm, and he hasn't let go of his hold on the NBA since then.
Many critics thought that Stephen Curry would eventually fade back into mid-tier stardom. But year after after, Curry proved that his insane shooting and scoring was legitimate. He has all the accolades in the book to be considered one of the greatest to ever do it. The only thing missing is a Finals MVP trophy, and he will have a shot at that this year.
