With the recent success of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” debates have waged on regarding Michael Jordan’s era of basketball versus today’s game. The 10-part series followed Jordan’s rise to multiple championship runs with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s.
The Golden State Warriors’ two-time Most Valuable Player was the latest to be spun into the debate.
Alongside an image on Instagram of Stephen Curry laying up a shot over Hakeem Olajuwon, Mars Reel asked, “How good would Steph be if he had played in the ’90s?”
One of Curry’s longtime adversaries chimed in on the post. LeBron James commented that Curry would be “GREAT!!!” in any era of the NBA.

After sharing a bevy of memorable battles in four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, the pair of MVPs have been complimentary of each other on social media. When Curry made his long-awaited return from injury in early March, James praised the Golden State point guard on Twitter saying, “the game missed you.”
After James shared an image of the new Space Jam 2 logo, Curry reacted on the Los Angeles Lakers forward’s Instagram, calling the new emblem “dope.”
With Golden State slated to be one of the eight teams set to miss the league’s restart in Orlando, James and Curry will have to wait till next season to link up on the court again.
