Steph Curry name his All-Time Top 5 NBA players

In a video with Dude Perfect, GSW Superstar reveal his “all-time Top 5 NBA players”, which is considered a line-up that so great that no matter what era you put them, they will still come out on top.

Last year, his All-Time Top 5 NBA players are;

  • G – Magic Johnson
  • SG -Kobe Bryant
  • SF – Michael Jordan
  • PF – Tim Duncan
  • C – Shaquille O’Neal

This year, his All-Time Top 5 NBA players are;

  • G – Steph Curry
  • SG – Jordan
  • SF – LeBron James
  • PF – Tim Duncan
  • C – Shaq

Let’s dissect this for a moment;

At Point Guard, this replace Magic Johnson to himself, which understandable, since both Curry and Johnson are the two players contending for the Greatest Guard of All time.

Then on both the Shooting Guard and Small Forward, its interesting that removed Kobe and replace it with Michael Jordan, since Shooting Guard is the natural position of MJ and having Kobe and MJ on the same will more likely hurt the team more than anything else.

On Small Forward position, Curry listed Lebron James which is actually a no brainer, Lebron is considered second to MJ’s G.O.A.T. status, or if you’re a Lebron fan, you will surely consider Lebron number 1 in the G.O.A.T. conversation.

All in all, Curry’s new “All-Time Top 5 NBA players” are a collection of the “greatest” to have ever played the game, which is not a bad lineup no matter the era they play in.

You can watch the entirety of the video below;

Watch the D23 Brazil Trailer of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* will be in Theaters on May 2nd, 2025

“We are the THUNDERBOLTS*!”

The fact that the schedules of Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* are so close together, makes me think that there will be a big connection between the two films.

Either same villain or the aftermath of the events in Captain America: Brave New World will require some cleanup, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is tasked with doing it. That could be the reason for the asterisk (*).

My theory… by the end of Captain America: Brave New World, there will be “TO BE CONTINUED ON THE THUNDERBOLTS*!”

Watch the Official Trailer of Captain America: Brave New World

Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford star in Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World. Watch the brand-new trailer and experience it only in theaters February 14.

That Red Hulk.. also it looks like there’s a different villain that what Marvel lead us to believe!
