Despite falling behind in the West playoff race all season, the Golden State Warriors overcame the best team in the East, the Boston Celtics, in overtime on Tuesday night (TNT).

With 33 points and six assists, Stephen Curry was outstanding in the final seconds of the game and overtime, continuing his stellar play that has been the Warriors’ lone bright light this season. In the final seconds of overtime, Curry scored the game-winning basket by sinking an absurd three-pointer over Derrick White. This put the game away for the Warriors.

Despite the Warriors’ downturn this season—which has included struggles from Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson (though Thompson has improved recently) and an indefinite suspension for Draymond Green—Curry has been outstanding and has maintained his level of greatness far into his 30s. Along with his four rings, Shaq couldn’t help but ask on Inside the NBA why Steph Curry isn’t more often included in the eternal GOAT discussion.

Even though he hasn’t arrived yet, Kenny Smith asks Shaq if Steph is more important to him than himself. Shaq promptly responds in the affirmative. For a long time, Shaq has said that Steph Curry is his favorite NBA player. While Kenny believes that Steph and Magic Johnson are in a tie for first place among point guards, Shaq puts Curry in the same league as Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

I believe it gets lost in the talk of Steph Curry sometimes, but Shaq wants to make sure we give Curry his due as a terrific player and not just a shooter, so that’s a good thing. It’s an intriguing topic to have. His contemporary, LeBron, has had such a stellar resume and such an extended run at the top that it’s hard to include him in the GOAT conversation. However, when discussing Curry’s influence on the game, it is important to note that he has arguably had the most effect on the game’s rules since Michael Jordan.

Shaq may want to revisit this conversation as Curry keeps adding records, accolades, and (if the Warriors can pull it together again) potential titles to his biography. I doubt he will win over many non-Bay Area residents, but Curry isn’t finished writing his story yet.
