Steph Curry takes high road on Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame comment

Steph Curry could have come out guns blazing at the GOAT, but instead, the sharpshooter took the high road.

After Michael Jordan told NBC's "Today" that the Warriors star was not a Hall of Famer "yet," Curry had every right to unload on the absurd opinion. He is, after all, the greatest shooter in NBA history, a three-time NBA champion and a unanimous MVP. Instead, Curry decided to take the road less traveled nowadays -- the high one.

"I think I’m good, but then I’m never complacent," Curry told Full Size Run's Matt Welty, via Complex Sports. "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."

There's no doubt Curry would be a Hall of Famer today if he were eligible. He transformed the way the game is played and was the star on one of the best teams in NBA history, leading the Warriors on an almost unprecedented dynastic run to five straight NBA Finals.

As the Warriors transition to Chase Center, Curry faces the next task in his Hall-of-Fame career (sorry, MJ).

With Kevin Durant moving on and Klay Thompson injured, Curry will be tasked with navigating the Warriors through the treacherous Western Conference and back to the playoffs.
