Dime: "So, he’s not an incredible playmaker? Doesn’t make the game easier on his teammates? Stuff like that?"
Barkley: "I wouldn’t say that. But he’s not a great playmaker. He’s just a great shooter."
Dime: "You think the dominance that Shaq exhibited in his prime is just an entirely different thing than Steph’s?"
Barkley: "What Shaq did, you can’t…I never played against Wilt Chamberlain, but we’ve never had a player like Shaq."
Dime: "One that you just couldn’t stop?"
Barkley: "Yeah. He was just unstoppable."
Dime: "Do you think some people feel that way about Steph now, though?"
Barkley: "No, they don’t. ‘Cause he played last week against John Wall and scored 51 and gave up 41. And most people think that John Wall had a better game, because Steph had 10 turnovers and John Wall had 41 and 15 assists."
In the game Barkley is referencing, Curry registered 51 points, two assists, seven rebounds, three steals and seven turnovers. Wall racked up 41 points, 10 assists, three rebounds, two steals and three turnovers.
Curry has made 245 3-pointers this season, while shooting 45.4 percent from beyond the arc. He's 41 triples away from tying his NBA single-season record.
