Stephen Curry has no doubt changed the way basketball is played.
On Monday, Curry was featured on 3rd Hour, a segment on The Today Show, where he shared his strong opinions about the current state of the NBA.
“You want to leave the league in a better place than you found it,” Curry said Monday.
“From one through five all the way down the roster, I think this is the most skilled era of basketball in history.”
Of course, Curry is still active in the league, but this has been an ongoing debate in the media for years.

Of course, it was just about a decade ago that the name Stephen Curry became known to fans everywhere.
His ridiculous shooting and speedy handles have helped him become the player he is today.
Casually pulling up from 30 feet out has influenced the minds of the younger generation, thus creating a movement that threes are better than twos.
Nowadays, players like Victor Wembanyama, who is 7’3, take almost nine three-pointers a game, which can mostly be credited to Curry.
Not too long ago, each position had a role, and each player executed it. Now, we are in the age of positionless basketball, where everybody is expected to be able to do everything.
So, of course, Curry believes this is the most skilled era of basketball, and that is likely because he is the pioneer of it.
