Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry recently updated his all-time NBA starting five during an appearance on Dude Perfect’s YouTube show. He made some tough decisions and surprising changes to his lineup.
Known as one of the greatest shooters in basketball history, Curry didn’t shy away from including himself this time. Given how important spacing would be with such an array of talent, it’s an understandable choice.
Last year, Curry’s picks included Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O’Neal. However, his latest lineup saw some shakeups: Curry now places himself alongside Jordan, LeBron James, Duncan, and Shaq, leaving out Lakers legends Magic and Kobe.

Curry’s new lineup reflects his confidence in his place among basketball’s all-time greats.

However, the omissions of Magic and Kobe are bound to spark debate. Magic’s brilliance as a playmaker and Kobe’s scoring legacy often make them staples in such lists. But Curry’s decision underscores his evolution as a player and his belief in his transformative impact on the game.
