Pacers legend Reggie Miller gives Steph Curry a high ranking among the all-time greats

It's a popular debate today: Is Stephen Curry an all-time top-10 NBA player?

Curry made a strong argument to be included among that group Thursday night as he won NBA Finals MVP, and the Golden State Warriors clinched the league championship.

Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller — who was part of the NBA's 75th anniversary all-time team — offered his top 10 on the "Dan Patrick Show." 

"I felt he was knocking on the door," Miller said of Curry's status entering the Finals. "He has certainly kicked down the door."
