Shaquille O Neal asserts Steph Curry is in a league of his own Shaquille O'Neal's respect for Steph Curry's greatness is no secret. O'Neal showed Curry the ultimate appreciation, comparing him to legendary superstars like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Here's what Shaq said regarding this in a recent interview with Dime Magazine: “Because there’s no one like him,” Shaq said. “People remember Shaq, there was no one like him. He's one of those players — [Michael Jordan], Kobe [Bryant], LeBron [James], nobody like them.” O'Neal added: “He has his own category: Best shooter ever. Not one of the best shooters, not Ray Allen, not Reggie Miller, he is the best shooter ever.” Shaq didn't hesitate to exclude his name to explain why Steph Curry is special. The 'Big Aristotle' emphasized why Curry is in a league of his own as the 'best shooter ever.' He claimed that his category (the most dominant) was one he always shared with NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain.

NBA analyst believes Steph Curry won t be a top-15 player without 2017 2018 championship wins Steph Curry is undoubtedly among the best players in NBA history. He has been a massive influence on how the game is played today with his exploits from beyond the arc. Curry won his fourth ring in July this year, along with his maiden NBA Finals MVP award. Both achievements elevated his legacy as a potential top 10 player of all time. Curry himself admitted that the 2022 NBA championship win was the most meaningful victory of his career. However, NBA analyst Rob Parker has shed light on the importance of Curry's 2017 and 2018 championship wins. Parker stated that the Golden State Warriors superstar wouldn't be in conversation involving the top-ten or top-15 players of all-time without those two rings. Here's what the analyst said on "The Odd Couple" podcast regarding this: "I get why he is saying it, because he won the finals MVP even though you don't put much stock in it. So, that was something for him, and I think that's probably why he says it. But, Steph, if you take those two away, you're not a top 10 or 15 player that everybody is talking about."

Jordan advertised seven-time Super Bowl champion and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's return to the pitch against the Dallas Cowboys. Brady announced his retirement in February but took only two months to track back on his decision. He is now back to play in his 23rd NFL season this year. Michael Jordan delivered an emphatic monolog in his promo for Brady, saying: "I was away from the game for almost two years. He didn't make two months. But you know what that tells me? How much he wants it, how much he needs it." Brady and the Buccaneers will open their 2022 NFL season against the Cowboys on Sunday, September 11.

Irving has endured most of that criticism during his time in Brooklyn. He has played only 103 times for the Brooklyn Nets since joining the team three years ago. Rumblings about his discipline hit fever pitch particularly during the 2021-22 season. His refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19 led to his suspension for two months into the new season. This eventually hampered his chances of securing a potential max contract worth almost $250 million with the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn Nets@BrooklynNets?????Just a reminder of what @KyrieIrving is capable of.#BestOfNBA1056189?????Just a reminder of what @KyrieIrving is capable of.#BestOfNBA https://t.co/4gn4IF1a7H Here's what Irving had to say about the criticism he has endured in a recent video posted by Big Facts Entertainment: “Now, of course, the last few years I couldn’t play every game and be a part of everything. Now I’m dancing with this 'stigma' over my career. Is it a real 'stigma'? That I don’t like to work or I don’t like to be in team activities or I don’t like to do this? Nah, nah, nah. “The basketball aspect will take care of itself and I know that because I’m taking care of everything else that will help it flourish.” Irving opted into his player option with the Nets this offseason. Brooklyn looks likely to run it back with him and Kevin Durant next season despite all of this summer's drama as they look to win the NBA championship.
