Hard for me to say that curry is the goat when he wasn’t even the best player on the team when the warriors won in 2017 and 2018. Durant got finals mvp for both of those championships on the warriors.

The NBA changed during 2 big pivot points in my mind. First was MJ, Second is Curry. LeBron and Jokic are like freaks of nature that changed the definition of what a basketball player is. They embodies the position less archetype.
I would say LeBron was also a pivot point. He normalized the big man being skilled in every aspect of offense. But curry was for sure a pivot point as well. He made it so that if you can’t shoot 3s you’re a liability on offense. That’s insane. Centers shooting 3s was unheard of. Dirk was a pioneer in that regard 😂
Forgot about dirk, yup he gave the Jokics of the world some green lights to let it fly.
