The praise for Stephen Curry won't stop flooding the coverage of him. Fans, pundits, coaches, executives and players are all glowing about the reigning MVP because of the way he's affected the game like we've never seen. The Golden State Warriors' star has been even better early in the first season since he blew up on the scene. Just how unique is his impact on the game of basketball right now?
Minnesota Timberwolves' legend Kevin Garnett drew a comparison to Michael Jordan. While it can be tricky uttering the hallowed name of Jordan, his point is pretty interesting. There wasn't a player like Jordan when he played. He was an entirely different force than what we were used to. Garnett sees a similarity in that what we've seen from Curry is historically unique. He thinks it's great for the game of basketball.
KG on Curry: "Like Michael Jordan was a whole other thing, this guy is his own thing. It's beautiful for basketball."

In terms of KG's career, he's faced them both the exact same amount of times. Garnett played nine games against Jordan and had his team go 5-4 against them. He's played Curry nine times and is also 5-4 against them. Garnett's Wolves will play the Warriors Thursday night, breaking that tie between games played against KG, but he's been around long enough to have a pretty cool perspective on this.
