NBA Hall Of Famer Drops Bold Claim About Steph Curry

NBA legend Isiah Thomas declared himself the greatest "small" point guard in league history during an appearance on the "All The Smoke" podcast. While acknowledging Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson belong in different categories, Thomas stated, "When you get to small people my size, I'm one, two, three, four and five," challenging others to name a player of his stature who achieved what he did.

Thomas also showed respect for current players, specifically praising Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. He suggested Curry could potentially become the best point guard ever before his career concludes. Following himself and Curry, Thomas listed John Stockton, Chris Paul, and Jason Kidd as the best floor generals in NBA history.

Highlighting Curry's impact, Thomas noted how Curry has redefined the position and described the psychological advantage Curry creates with his extraordinary shooting range. "It's intimidating when a guy steps across halfcourt and he can just let it go... That's a psychological [advantage]," Thomas said, referencing Curry's ability to consistently make shots from near halfcourt.
