He ain't Kobe, Magic, Kareem or LeBron, but he's better than Duncan.

Titles in the modern basketball era begin with Kareem's introduction to the NBA in 1971.

Lakers: 12

Celtics: 7

Bulls: 6

Spurs: 5

Warriors: 5

Curry is the worst player ever to be considered a great player. Goober couldn't defend my grandmother.

In May 2001, Kobe Bryant was the youngest player ever to be the best basketball player in the world. While Allen Iverson won the 2000-01 NBA MVP award that month (announced May 15), Kobe's performance during the 2001 playoffs was considered by many, including Shaq himself, to be at a "best in the world" level.

Yes, Phil Jackson stated that Kobe Bryant worked harder and was more obsessive in his training than Michael Jordan.

Magic was a really good defender in the first half of his career. He led the league in steals and was the first player ever who could defend all five positions. 

I'm not a Spurs fan, but I'd bet they'll beat OKC and then win the title.
