let's get to the last, one, please last tweet for the.
Day what is it at FIVE x? Drippy, Right Stephen Nate?

(04:38):
Smith If steph wins ring number five with A i
guess FINALS MVP, FMVP i guess that's what that, means
does that make him better Than Michael. Jordan, no it does.
Not Steph curry is already the greatest shoot a god
has ever. Created you can make a legitimate argument that
even Though Magic johnson is the greatest point guard who ever,

(04:59):
lived because he, was IF i were to the point
guard it is supposed to be in terms of quint
essentially getting people involved in facilitating opportunities for. Others when
you think about impact from the guard, position when you
look At Steph curry and how you got to keep
your head on the swivel because this brother could pull
up from. FIFTY i get that, part but the flip

(05:20):
side to it is that he had just won his
Only FINALS mvp in twenty twenty two when they beat
the Bosson. Celtics Michael jordan has six of. Those, Also
Michael jordan is a thirty point per game scorer during the,
Playoff Steph curry and pull that. Off, Also Michael jordan
was a nine Time ALL Nba Defensive team player as,

(05:40):
well and would just take your heart right out your. Chest,
NO i would not Put Steph curry Above, jordan BUT
i do think if he wins ring number, five it's
time to stop calling this The lebron. Era you gotta
call it To. Steph, ever If steph ends up with
a ring one, more bring in, him but only if that,

(06:02):
happened WHICH i don't think it. WILL i think they'll
both be stuck on four once these playoffs are. Done
