Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has made a compelling case for being the best basketball player in the world of late, but the reigning NBA MVP is aiming even higher.
In an extensive interview with ESPN the Magazine 's Sam Alipour , Curry spoke of eclipsing Michael Jordan as the best player of all time.
Comparisons between this season's 22-0 Warriors and the Jordan-led 1995-96 Chicago Bulls , who posted the best-ever NBA record of 72-10, have inevitably surfaced.
The Bulls legend ended an epic career with averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals per contest.
Those figures are similar to Curry's current 2015-16 line of 32.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.2 steals.
However, Curry needs to keep it up over the next 60 or so games and for years to come to approach Jordan's realm.
