Curry is not in the GOAT discussion? Horry: He's the top scorer but not like Jokojan who can lock up opponents

Curry's place in history has been hotly debated lately, with Perkins believing he is one championship and one Finals MVP away from being in the GOAT (Player of All Time) discussion. On May 13, Beijing time, former NBA player Robert Horry also talked about this topic on the show, and he pointed out that Curry is the all-time top scorer, but the reason why he didn't get into the GOAT discussion was defense.

"We've given him the title of all-time best scorer," Horry said. The reason he didn't get into the GOAT discussion is that Jordan is a defender who can lock up opponents, Kobe Bryant is a defender who can lock opponents, James is a defender who can lock opponents, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a defender who can lock opponents. We didn't say that about Curry, and for me, that's one of the reasons we didn't see him as the greatest player. ”

Horry's reasoning is clear, Curry has not achieved enough on the defensive end, and while many statistics show that Curry's defense is not bad, he has not achieved some relevant defensive honors. So far in his career, Curry has never been named to the Defensive Team of the Year, let alone Defensive Player of the Year.

In this regard, Jordan was voted Defensive Player of the Year once and was named to the All-Defensive Team nine times in his career; Bryant was not named to the All-Defensive Team 12 times, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was named to the All-Defensive Team 11 times, and James was named to the All-Defensive Team 6 times.

So far in his career, Curry has won four championships, twice as the regular season MVP, once as the Finals MVP, 10 times as the All-Star team, 11 times as an All-Star, and twice as the scoring champion.
