Despite all the attention that Golden State Warriors megastar Stephen Curry<\/a> attracts, it\u2019s quite possible that he\u2019s actually underrated from an all-time standpoint. No one will deny that Curry is the greatest shooter ever, but not enough people talk about Curry as the one of the greatest players ever, period. And he certainly is that.<\/p>\n

With Curry, his value is about more than his basketball skill set. He\u2019s also a phenomenal leader and perfect personality to build a championship team around, thanks to his self-awareness, selflessness, and ability to make everyone around him better. It\u2019s not just the gravity that Steph attracts on the court that creates opportunities for his teammates; it\u2019s the fact that Curry is the kind of guy who genuinely wants to see his teammates thrive. Sadly, it\u2019s rare to find a superstar like this, much less an all-time great player.<\/p>\n

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown was spot-on when he recently said<\/a> that Steph is the greatest point guard of all time. Brown mentioned Curry\u2019s leadership and mental attributes as a big reason why Curry is so special.<\/p>\n

Another basketball mind who clearly \u201cgets it\u201d when it comes to Curry is NBA legend Isiah Thomas<\/a>. The Detroit Pistons Hall of Famer \u2014 probably right behind Curry and Magic Johnson on the list of greatest point guards ever \u2014 recently talked about Curry during a TV segment, and it was one of the most poignant bits on Steph that has ever been uttered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not been one night when he\u2019s put on a jersey, and the fans didn\u2019t get their money\u2019s worth,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cHe gives them a pre-game show, in-game show \u2026 after the game, he\u2019s so generous with his time \u2026 as a role model, as a pro, a champion, as a Hall of Famer, as an athlete. He is everything we\u2019ve always wanted our players to represent. Steph Curry, number 30, he\u2019s the one.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of all of these attributes so accurately described by Thomas, Steph also has longevity. At 37 years old (38 in March), Curry continues to play at an All-Star level, despite a tough season for the declining Warriors. Curry is averaging 28.7 points, 4.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game this season and hasn\u2019t shown many signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n
