Curry is not in the GOAT discussion? Horry: He is the best scorer but unlike Jokozon, who can lock his opponent

Curry's historical status has caused heated discussion recently. Perkins believes that he is still one championship and one finals MVP away from entering the GOAT (Best Player in History) discussion. On May 13, former NBA player Robert Horry also talked about the topic on the show, pointing out that Curry is the best scorer in history, but the reason why he failed to get him into the GOAT discussion was defense.

Horry said: "We have given him a best title in history, that is, the best scorer in history. The reason why he did not enter the GOAT discussion is that Jordan is a defender who can lock the opponent, Kobe is a defender who can lock the opponent, James is a defender who can lock the opponent, and Jabbar is a defender who can lock the opponent. We have never said that Curry, and for me, that is one of the reasons why we don't regard him as the greatest player."

Horry's reason is clear. Curry's achievements on the defensive end are not enough. Although many data show that Curry's defense is not bad, he has not achieved some related defensive honors. So far in his career, Curry has never been selected as the best defensive team of the year, let alone being elected as the best defensive player.

In this regard, Jordan was selected as the best defensive player once and was selected as the best defensive team nine times in his career; although Kobe has not been selected as the best defensive player, he has been selected as the best defensive team 12 times, Jabbar has been selected as the best defensive team 11 times, and James has been selected as the best defensive team 6 times.

So far in his career, Curry has won four championships, twice as a regular season MVP, once as a finals MVP, 10 selected as the best team, 11 selected as an All-Star, and twice as the scoring leader.
