Known for making his teammates better, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has helped elevate several players around him during his career. While Curry has played with some already great players, it's hard to argue that his gravity and movement haven't elevated the play of even his best teammates.

Speaking recently with Complex, Curry was asked which player he would have wanted to play with, and he said NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal:

Curry and O'Neal would have undoubtedly been one of the most dominant duos in NBA history, if not the most dominant duo in NBA history. When debating which all-time great duos are the best, the conversation is often Kevin Durant and Steph Curry vs. Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. These two duos accomplished feats that no other pairings have, so it would have certainly been fun to see what Curry's game would have looked like next to the dominance of O'Neal.

O'Neal is a big fan of Curry, and has spoken openly about the Warriors star being his favorite player. There have been many dominant offensive forces in NBA history, but the argument could definitely be made that Curry is the most dominant perimeter threat ever, while O'Neal is the most dominant post threat ever. Paring these two together would have been unstoppable, so it makes sense why Curry would name O'Neal as the one player he would've liked to play with.
