He put Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Joel Embiid in the Top-5. Most notably, Golden State Warriors superstar and current NBA Finals MVP Stephen Curry was left out.

"I have to look at your game and how you do it. Steph how he plays and how he gets his stuff off, he's just kind of one-dimensional at times if that makes sense," the Monaco guard explained.

"He's not the primary ball-handler a lot, and for a point guard that kind of bothers me. But he does score off the dribble, he's a superstar, so at this point when you're picking your Top-5, you're drawing straws, you're just kind of nit-picking," he said.

Curry has been hosting his annual camp these days where young basketball prospects come to learn from one of the greatest players alive.

At one moment Curry was asked what a one-on-one matchup between him and any of the campers would look like. "It's all bad for them, all bad for them, even as one-dimensional as I am," the superstar guard responded and burst out laughing.
