The endless debate over who deserves the title of the greatest basketball player of all time rages on, with two names long reigning supreme: LeBron James and Michael Jordan. But now, a bold new voice is shaking up the conversation, suggesting Stephen Curry belongs right alongside these titans.
That voice belongs to Sue Bird, who dropped this bombshell on Sunday during the NCAA Women’s National Championship game, where UConn emerged victorious.
