Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to Stephen Curry setting another historic milestone in NBA history, becoming the first player to ever make 4,000 three pointers in his career. By this point, it's been long accepted that Curry is the greatest shooter of the basketball in NBA history, but Rob implores basketball fans to reconsider that assertion.
Rob Parker: "Steph Curry is just not the greatest shooter of all time, because I'd take a lot of other players in a big moment before I'd take Steph Curry... You can make all the threes in the world, but calling someone the greatest shooter, it means that under any circumstance, you'd want him to have the ball... He's had 14 looks where he had the chance to tie or win the game in the postseason, and he didn't make one of them... I think he's disqualified from being considered the greatest shooter. Is he the greatest maker of three pointers? Without question! But there's a difference between that and the greatest shooter."
Kelvin Washington: "Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of the basketball I have ever seen. Now, if you're asking me clutch shot, with like seven or eight seconds left, who do I want taking the shot? Then he's way down the list for me. Because that's not his game. Getting him the ball with a few seconds left and saying 'go get us a shot,' that's not his game... But in terms of pure shooting ability? He's the greatest of all time."
