The four-time NBA champion and ten-time NBA All-Star, Stephen Curry has lately shared his three top players who will successfully carry the top-notch mantle once icons like him, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant leave the illustrious league.
According to SI, he shared, "You see Luka, Ant [Anthony Edwards], Shai, guys that are really coming into their prime. They’re highly decorated already as All-Stars but have a perspective of what that means within the on-court/off-court opportunities with the doors that basketball opens in that respect."
He further continued, "You’ve got a lot of talent to choose from in that respect. I think the more you understand the authenticity around it and like me and Bron and KD and have done it and tried to do that in our way, where it might look different for different guys."
Curry names Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder star guard, Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, and the last one named is Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards.
