The Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry may not frequently appear in debates about the GOAT, but his impressive resume is hard to ignore. He’s achieved nearly every accolade possible in the sport, except one—a gold medal. Now, with Team USA, Curry is aiming to add this honor to his career achievements.
Meanwhile, Curry’s former teammate, Quinn Cook, recently stirred the pot by asserting Curry’s superiority over legendary point guard Magic Johnson. During an appearance on Dwight Howard’s “Above the Rim” podcast, Cook engaged in a heated debate where Howard favored the Redeem Team, while Cook stood firmly behind the 2024 Team USA.
“Dwyane Wade don’t want no parts of Steph [Curry],” Cook said.
The conversation took a sharp turn when DeMarcus Cousins defended Wade. He called him the 3rd best shooting guard of all time.
Cook responded by shifting the focus back to Curry, declaring him the number 1 point guard of all time. When Cousins questioned whether Cook truly believed Curry surpassed Magic Johnson, Cook confidently replied, “Yes, sir.”
However, fans did not hesitate to join the debate while a pile of them supported Cook’s remarks. They echoed the same sentiments with Cook, sharing their support for Cook’s bold claim.

Stephen Curry Stirs Controversy by Backing Drake Amid Lamar Feud
While Quinn Cook has been making headlines by debating Stephen Curry’s superiority over Magic Johnson, Curry himself has stirred up controversy by weighing in on a different kind of rivalry. He joined the ongoing feud between Draymond Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
The tension between the two rap giants reached a new level when Curry was directly mentioned in Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Meet the Grahams.” In the song, Lamar issued a warning to both Curry and LeBron James, telling them to steer clear of Drake.
This mention put Curry in a tricky spot, but he didn’t shy away from expressing his loyalties. In an interview with GQ’s Joseph Bien-Kahn, Curry made it clear where he stands.
“I’m a big Drake guy. I’ve been for a long time. I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that, but I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely,” he said.
Curry’s Team USA is now set to face a rematch against Team Serbia in the semifinal on August 6.
