Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is probably one of the best players in the NBA. When he retires, it’s possible he’ll go down as one of the defining players of his generation. He is a three-time NBA champion, a two-time NBA MVP and a six-time NBA All-Star. But that hasn’t won over Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan just yet. Last month Jordan made the claim that Steph Curry wasn't a Hall of Famer or that he hadn't done enough to reach that status yet.
