Tracy McGrady said this about Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry
NBA legend Tracy McGrady recently made a very controversial Steph Curry statement that has Golden State Warriors fans calling him out.
"He hasn't cracked my top-10 yet," McGrady said of Curry. "He just hasn't. I think Steph has had a phenomenal career. Obviously four championships, two league MVPs, he has a Finals MVP. But if you go back in his career and you look at when Draymond is out of the lineup for a season, if you look at Klay Thompson has missed a season...
In 2021, the season McGrady is referencing, Curry led the league in scoring at 32.0 PPG, finishing third in MVP voting. In the 63 games Curry played that season, the Warriors went 37-26 , which would have been good for the 5th seed in the Western Conference. The reason Golden State missed the playoffs that year was because the team went 2-7 in the nine games Curry missed.
As fans have pointed out, LeBron James and other indisputable all-time greats have also missed the playoffs - and while there is context involved in those instances, there certainly is in Curry's case as well. Tracy McGrady says Steph Curry isn’t in his top 10 all time list because he missed the playoffs when Klay Thompson was injured 🤨 If anything, Curry's 2021 campaign should strengthen his case for top-10 all-time, as he carried an abysmal Warriors roster to a 37-26 record.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
