One of the most surprising teams in the NBA this season has been the Golden State Warriors, who were a team that many wrote off during the summer, with the franchise’s inability to acquire another star player to play alongside stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in the wake of the departure of Klay Thompson.
The Warriors have started the 2024-25 NBA season with an impressive record of 10-2, which has them in second place in the Western Conference behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
For now, the Warriors seem to have another shot at being a legitimate title contender in the West, with Steve Kerr’s squad playing at a high level behind Curry.
While enjoying the success of the Warriors after the first 12 games of the regular season, Curry was recently asked who he’d have in his all-time starting five, with some interesting choices from the future Hall of Famer: Himself, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O’Neal via ClutchPoints.

That’s a pretty solid all-time starting five, even though it will spark some debate, as these lists from current players always tend to do.
Jordan is almost always on these lists, so it wasn’t surprising to see him named by Curry, but all the other positions will have healthy debate, with different players potentially getting excluded, like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, among others.
As for Curry naming himself, he’s definitely earned that right and has a strong case for being on other players’ lists like this, as he’ll go down as one the greatest guards of all time.
