As Stephen Curry continues his streak of ridiculousness and sheer dominance in the NBA, the conversation of his all-time status magnifies. One conversation that people love to have is Curry vs. Iverson, and rightfully so, they’re two of the most prolific small guards we’ve ever seen.
Iverson was at a Sixers Youth Foundation event and showed a tremendous amount of love to Curry. Via Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com:

Iverson recently showed high praise for Curry and Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving last year, even citing their ball handling as better than his. The best part of Iverson’s quote was when he acknowledged that Curry blows him away even when thinking about how great he was. That’s special. Iverson knows what he’s seeing has in some ways transcended even his prowess as an unstoppable force of scoring nature.
President Barack Obama, a proud Chicago Bulls fan, just made his own comments about Curry, saying he’s had the most fun watching him play since Michael Jordan. What we’ve been watching from Curry is indeed nothing normal. It’s the first of it’s kind, and because of him we’re all watching history.
