Steph Curry Accepts Michael Jordan as GOAT in His Honorary Post

Steph Curry was just a 10-YO kid by the time Michael Jordan had won six NBA Championships. In fact, his father Dell Curry was playing for the Hornets (now an MJ-owned franchise) during those days of mid-1998. And now, the same kid has grown up big enough to interview the legend himself.

The occasion was the Ryder Cup 2021 at Wisconsin where Curry and MJ were present on Day 1. Rooting for Team USA, both the NBA stars started their day with showering support for different American duos but later sat down together. So what was their meeting about?

When the picture of Air Jordan and the GSW leader sitting face to face came out, the internet went bonkers. People joked about how they’re sharing laughter for owning LeBron James. But the reality was different as the much-respected athletes actually talked about things not even remotely related to Bron.

The Baby Faced Assassin interviewed MJ about his 20+ years history with the Ryder Cup, competing on the biggest stages, and other things. While the interview is still to go live, here is how the Warriors leader shared his amusement.

When GSW leader channeled his inner MJ

MJ might or might not see Steph Curry as a Hall of Famer, but the latter benefits from seeing Jordan as his idol. During the 2020-21 season, Blazers’ Damian Lillard had commented on Curry, suggesting that he is no more the player he was 4-5 years ago. In their very next game, the Assassin dropped a career-high 62 points.

Later in the post-game conference, Curry revealed that he channeled that competitiveness from MJ. As the 3x Champion stated, “The Jordan meme, right. I take all that personally.”

So interviewing MJ was Curry’s opportunity to learn more from the legend. Reportedly, they also discussed how golf is the toughest mental sport, how the team-first motto draws a parallel with the NBA, and which player does MJ sees as his shadow.

Until the answers to those interesting queries come out, stay tuned!
