MAIN TAKEAWAY

STEPH CURRY IS CEMENTED AS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN WARRIORS HISTORY

COLORS KEY | FULL WARRIORS OUTLOOK

Chef Curry is already solidified as the greatest shooter to ever live, but he has now officially earned himself a new title: Greatest Warriors player ever. Chamberlain is a legendary player and one of the best all-time, but Curry has done more for this franchise than any player ever. He brought home three championships, and the first for the team since 1975, while Chamberlain won none for the franchise and some could argue he’s more known for his stops in Los Angeles or Philadelphia.

The baby-faced assassin has spent his entire career in Golden State and has changed the entire game throughout his time there. He made the three-point shot more popular and revived a fanbase in the San Francisco bay area. He’s been undeniably impactful to this organization, and deserves a lot of credit for the respect they have today as a franchise. Curry has surely established himself as the best to ever put on a Warriors jersey and now has the points to prove it.
