It’s a given that Warriors superstar Steph Curry<\/a> will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame one day, but who will be on stage with him for the big moment?<\/p>\n

During an impromptu interview in Toronto for NBA on NBC, Vince Carter asked Golden State’s prolific point guard which Hall of Fame presenters he wants there for the special occasion. Curry hadn’t thought about it until that moment, he said, but he immediately fired off a short list.<\/p>\n

“I mean, you,” Curry told Carter, “Steve Nash, Reggie Miller and Ray [Allen] are the names that I think off the top of my head. …<\/p>\n

“Those are my guys, though. It’s crazy to even say out loud.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Curry, of course, has a special connection and relationship with each of the players he named. He passed Allen for the most career 3-pointers made in NBA history during the 2021-22 season, and he credits Carter, who was a Toronto Raptors teammate of his father, Dell Curry, for changing the game<\/a> during the Vinsanity Era.<\/p>\n

The Curry-Nash parallels have been prevalent from Day 1, and the Warriors star has credited the former Golden State player development consultant<\/a> for greatly influencing many parts of his game. Curry has described Miller, another 3-point legend, as his favorite player growing up<\/a>, and the pair have shared a mutual respect throughout Curry’s iconic career.<\/p>\n

It would take ages to dive into each of Curry’s friendships with the four NBA greats, but their impact on him is evident as he nears the halfway point of his 17th season in the league. It isn’t lost on Curry that he’s much closer to where they are, the Hall of Fame, than the start of his career.<\/p>\n

“I guess the only thing is being able to embrace the fact that there are less days ahead on the court than there are behind, so I don’t run away from the fact of your mortality in the sense of your basketball mortality,” Curry told Carter. “I know that I don’t have that many years left, but the idea of just honing in on the now, and there’s a sense of urgency at the moment because I still have a lot to prove on the court.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. We’ve got to hold on for as long as we can.”<\/p>\n
