The NBA has witnessed Stephen Curry take the league by storm over the past decade. His rise to superstardom, capturing four NBA championships, a Finals MVP award, and solidifying his place as the best shooter to ever play in the NBA, has been undeniable.
However, even with such accomplishments and the argument for him being the greatest point guard of all time, NBA legend Charles Barkley wouldn’t pick Curry if he had to choose a point guard in a basketball game. Instead, he’d turn to former Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas.
Thomas is no pushover. He’s a two-time champion, an NBA Finals MVP, a 12-time All-Star, and the only player to have bested legends like Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in the playoffs. In a scenario where one has to choose between Curry and Thomas, Barkley chooses the “Bad Boy.”
“If I was in a game, if I had to choose — and I love Steph Curry and I know people gonna go on the internet because they ain’t got no life — if I had to choose between Steph Curry and Isiah, I’d probably go with Isiah in a scenario.”
