Steph Curry's Plus-Minus Over Past 5 Seasons is Light-Years Ahead of Anyone Else in NBA

When a team as good as the Golden State Warriors emerges, it's hard to quantify the value of any single player. Throughout their dynasty, the Warriors have spent significant time without each of their stars, and yet, they've hardly hit a road bump.

Though, if there's one stat that should show you the value of Steph Curry's time with Golden State, it's this one.

And here is Curry's plus/minus next to peak LeBron, Kobe, Shaq and Dirk's. He's still in his own stratosphere. This really is one of the greatest runs in the history of the game. pic.twitter.com/k3sgS4LBHr

WOW. Some of the best players of all time in their primes are on this list and still don't get close to the Warriors point guard. In fewer games, Steph's plus/minus is higher than that of LeBron, Dirk, Shaq, and Kobe in their primes. Let that sink in.

Now, there are a few reasons to this, one being the big elephant in the room: The Warriors are so good that Steph can have a positive plus/minus even without having a good game. Sure, but let's also not forget the output that Curry gives Golden State night in, night out. He's been one of the most prolific scorers in basketball over the past five seasons, and most of Golden State's blowout wins are at least partly thanks to him.

There aren't many stats that can stand alone and be as powerful as that one. As Steph hunts for his fourth ring and first Finals MVP this week, let's never forget just how influential he's been for Golden State in getting to where they are now.
