Curry will win his fourth championship if the Golden State Warriors defeat Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. That way he would tie LeBron James for the number of rings won.

NBA analyst for ESPN, Stephen A. Smith believes that the Warriors will win two titles in the next three seasons and Curry will end up with more rings than King James in his career.

"I’m willing to say that the Golden State Warriors are winning two of the next three titles," Smith said on ESPN’s First Take. "I believe Steph Curry will eclipse LeBron James and capture five championships in his career while LeBron is still stuck on four."

Five rings would not only surpass James, but it would also put Curry in the company of NBA greats like Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan as well as his coach Steve Kerr, who won five championships across a 15-year playing career.
