Steve Kerr Fires Back On Michael Jordan’s Steph Curry Hall of Fame Diss

Michael Jordan needs a lot more to call someone a Hall of Famer. Steph Curry has impressive game, and he is the best shooter of all time, but Jordan says he isn’t a Hall of Famer.

“He’s still a great player,” Jordan said Monday on NBC’s “Today.” “Not a Hall of Famer yet, though. He’s not.”

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wasn’t happy about these comments, and he jumped in defending his star.

“Apparently, Michael has his own version of the Hall of Fame, I guess,” Kerr said. “That’s all I can think of … Yeah, that was an interesting comment. I just saw it this morning, I didn’t see the context I just read about it, but yeah, my feeling is Michael probably has his own qualifications.

“We all know Steph would go into the Hall of Fame right now if he were eligible. Michael has a different set of standards. I know he had a different set of standards for us as his teammates, and he probably has the same thing for his own personal Hall of Fame.”

Curry wasn’t really unhappy with these comments, and he really tries to play his best game.

“I think I’m good, but then I’m never complacent.” Curry said, “I know I have more to prove to myself. When you hear a guy like that who’s the greatest of all time, it’s kind of funny. Since we’ve been on this stage, we’ve heard a lot of retired guys chiming in on this generation of basketball player and evaluating talent and saying their generation was better and all that. It’s a great conversation for the fans to get in on. I know I’m in good shape for that, but I still have a lot to prove to myself.”

Literally speaking, Jordan is right. Curry will have to be retired for four seasons and he may play for another decade. Given that his numbers are impressive, they better start making his bust now.

The Golden State Warriors will play without some of their key players, and Klay Thompson won’t join the team this season. But, Curry is positive about the season.
