Magic Johnson Praises Stephen Curry, Says He’s The Greatest Shooter Ever

Stephen Curry revolutionized the game of basketball and is easily one of the most influential players of all-time. 

Curry, who is considered to be the greatest shooter in NBA history, reached a career milestone that had nothing to do with shooting last night, when he became the Golden State Warriors’ all time leader in assists.

After delivering his first assist to Stephen Jackson on October 28, 2009, his record-breaking dime went to Kelly Oubre Jr. – his 4,856th, breaking the 55-year long standing record of Guy Rodgers.

After the historic feat was achieved, the Warriors put up a video for Curry, with some very special congratulatory wishes. Among the many players and legends in the video Magic Johnson stood out when giving the highest praise to Steph, while calling him the greatest shooter ever:

Steph, I want to congratulate you on becoming the Warriors’ all-time assist leader. Man, you’re the greatest shooter that the game has ever seen. You’re a three-time NBA champion, and you’re having an MVP-type season. Congratulations, tell your parents I said hello. Keep doing what you’re doing man, you’re blessing the community and I love it.”
