Steve Nash on Stephen Curry being left out of GOAT debate: 'He was able to be an MVP and a champion in a new way'

Speaking about Curry’s place amongst the game’s greats, Nash pondered: “I think in some ways he’s underappreciated. You know, his impact on the game, the way he was able to be an MVP and a champion in a new way, shooting impossible shots at a high percentage, the way he impacts defenses even when he doesn’t have the ball, like, it’s remarkable.Source: Flashscore.com

Steph Curry rolled his right ankle tonight. Still hopes to play tomorrow at Knicks, but he was limping a little postgame: “I think I’m going to play but if my ankle says I shouldn’t play, I won’t play.” pic.x.com/2f4TtEoiH3 – 10:54 PM

Steph Curry said tonight was the last dunk of his career: “I’m calling it right now.” He pointed at Jerry Stackhouse after it because Stackhouse asked him to dunk at shootaround today. He said his knees have been feeling well enough to try it. pic.x.com/Qr1UqwKIhI – 12:08 AM
Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam
Quentin Grimes could not make a free throw, but he could not miss a field goal. With a career-high 44 points, Grimes outperformed Stephen Curry and led the Sixers to a win, snapping their nine-game losing streak.
Grimes, 24, is very much a keeper:

Warriors lose in Philadelphia. They were +12 in the Steph Curry minutes and -19 when he rested. No Jimmy Butler (back spasms). Quintin Grimes toasted them for 44 points. Five-game win streak snapped. They drop a half-game back of Clippers for sixth spot. – 11:11 PM

Warriors have gone on a bit of a run here since Steph got back into the game, and they’ve closed the deficit to 5 with 7:09 left to play. The Sixers had led by as many as 15 earlier this half.
Curry’s up to 29/10, with the Warriors a +14 in his 29 minutes of play. – 10:41 PM

Quentin Grimes has had a really nice start, with 12 points and three boards in 9:30. Has some real pop right now. Stephen Curry is also good. – 8:59 PM

More on this storyline
Gilbert Arenas: There’s only a few people in the GOAT debate. You’ve got to understand what a debate is. If there’s a number one, whoever number two is, unless he’s an active player, he’s not part of the GOAT debate because he has nothing else to gain. So if he didn’t overtake the person then he’s out actually out of the conversation. So there’s only a few people that’s still in the running for a debate: It’ll be LeBron James, it’ll be Stephen Curry, it’ll be Kevin Durant, it’ll be Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’ll be Nikola Jokic, right? They’re active. So because they’re active they’re still chasing something. Once you retire, if you didn’t do what you were supposed to, you can be part of a debate no more. -via YouTube / March 4, 2025
Steve Nash: “At the same time, you know, he’s not physically imposing like some of the other great players. You know, he’s not 6’9″, like Magic (Johnson) or (Larry) Bird. He’s not a 7’0″ dominant center like some we’ve had. “And he’s not like an elite explosive athlete like Michael Jordan or Kobe. So it’s hard to say where he stacks up, but I will say that his impact is way, way up there with almost anyone who’s ever played the game. I think his maximising of his talent is just incredible.” -via Flashscore.com / March 4, 2025
