Recently, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony spoke about Curry on his podcast (7PM in Brooklyn).

Anthony: "He's the greatest shooter I've ever seen. He's a hell of a player. He is a great player... He's one of the greatest players to ever grace this game. I don't think we probably will ever see this again. Let's appreciate this window of what we have with Steph."

Curry has an incredible resume, which also includes four NBA Championships, two MVPs and a Finals MVP.

He is still among the best players in the NBA at 36 and is coming off a season where he averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per contest while shooting 45.0% from the field and 40.8% from the three-point range in 74 games.
