The prospect of Stephen Curry winning another NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors could help the superstar guard’s legacy given the circumstances of how he won the other three, Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady said Tuesday.

Curry has been a homegrown talent for the Warriors and helped develop Golden State into the seemingly unstoppable monsters they’ve been since the 2014-15 season. However, McGrady explained to NBC Sports Washington, it doesn’t mean Curry is automatically in the upper echelon of the all-time greats who have come before him.

McGrady suggested Curry failing to win an NBA Finals MVP, beating a LeBron James-led team without his other teammates or with Kevin Durant and being the main focal part of blowing a 3-1 lead in the Finals, was a detriment.

"That's a tough question," McGrady said when he was asked where Curry stands all time. "Because he has his career individually and with what he's accomplished with his team is tough. Because you’ve gotta think, he won a championship, right, against LeBron [James] that didn't have Kyrie [Irving], that didn't have Kevin Love. He didn't win the [Finals] MVP, right? Then he loses a 3-1 lead to LeBron, gets K.D., K.D. comes and wins two championships, so that gives Steph three championships but K.D. wins the two MVPs, right?
