Many NBA players have influenced the league with their plays and changed the course of basketball, the Golden State Warriors’ marquee scorer was one of those players. Collin Cowherd sees Stephen Curry as a game changer from Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Sports analyst Collin Cowherd creates 3 different teams from the top 5 starting player teams of all time. While delving into this topic, he selects several megastars who have embraced the league with their fine performances throughout their careers. With likes from Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar making up the all-time top five list, Collin considers Stephen Curry – a member of his third starting lineup – to be the “changemaker” to the league .

Colin added many stars to his top 15 players, who are arguably the greatest players of their respective generations. However, he singled out Steph as the player who had a huge impact on the game and changed the way the ball game used to be played.

There is no doubt that all players who make the Cowherd Best Starters list are members of the NBA 75th Anniversary team. Multi-championship winners and MVP honorees cut it, with Lakers trio Magic Johnson, Kareem and LBJ earning top spots in their respective positions. GOAT Michael Jordan and Legendary Larry completed the 1st best team.

Isaiah Thomas, Kobe Bryant, Julius Erwin, Tim Duncan and Wilt Chamberlain made the second best team for Colin. He revealed the attributes and possible roles in the team for each player. For Stephen Curry, the starting point guard for the 3rd team, Colin had some special comments and comparisons.

Looking at Stephen Curry’s long range shooting and efficiency, Colin claims Steph changed the sport. Alongside the GOAT discussion players like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, according to Colin Steph’s style of play had a major impact on the game and changed the way the game was played.

Traditionally, shooting at medium range and points in color dominated the scoreboards. Since the arrival of Splash Brother and, more importantly, Stephen Curry, many teams have attempted to make more three-pointers than usual. It sped up scoring and also affected the opponent’s defensive strategies.

Stephen Curry’s impact is unquestionable. Current players such as LeBron and Damian Lillard also acknowledged the game’s “curry effect”. Colin gave examples of some legends from other sports such as Mike Tyson (boxing), Barry Barnes (baseball) and Randy Moss (NFL) to compare and highlight the impact of these players on their respective games.

While at the point guard position behind Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas, Steph will be joined by former teammate Kevin Durant, Laker legend Jerry West and two best friends Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal. Do you agree with the team combinations and Colin’s claim that Curry changes the course of the game?
