Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry continues to shine and his game-long brilliance has obviously taken the league by storm.

He is one reason why the Golden State Warriors are humming, making him look like an immortal who can do almost anything and yet keep his head in check. He isn’t the type who brags and engages in trash-talking; instead, he lets his gameplay do the talking.

Mixing all those together is something that has endeared the sweet-shooting guard to his co-players and fans.

Following his most recent triumph, a buzzer-beating trey from way beyond the arc against the Oklahoma City Thunder via the New York Times, many cannot help but try and look for a player to compare him with -- that is if there is one.

Right now, it is pretty hard to find a suited player that can be compared with the 27-year-old, whose outside shooting finesse has certainly been something next to phenomenal. Any comparisons will likely come from coaches, former NBA players and executives who have been around the league. One of them dared to make a comparison, though it wasn’t exactly something that many may approve.

New York Knicks President Phil Jackson has been known to be a pessimist and someone who has witnessed a lot of great players. Among all the players he had a chance to coach and play against, Jackson came up with a curious selection -- Chris Wayne Jackson and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, per Bleacher Report.

"Never seen anything like SCurry? Remind you of Chris Jackson/ Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who had a short but brilliant run in NBA?" he wrote on Twitter.

For those who are unaware, Abdul-Rauf played nine seasons in the NBA. He was the third overall pick of the 1990 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets and was known as one of the excellent shooters during that time. Could it be because of that 51-point career night he had against the Utah Jazz back in December 1995 per the New York Times?

Whatever his reason was, Jackson is hearing it from folks who are left dumbfounded with the comparison as many ponder on what could be the Zen Master’s basis for such as reported by USA Today?

Abdul-Rauf did have good numbers during his prime but his diversion of focus got the better of him. Right now, there are no signs that Curry would be doing the same.

His best scoring for this season came way back in October when he poured in 53 against the New Orleans Hornets, ESPN. noted. He also scored 51 against the Washington Wizards earlier this month on Feb. 3 via ESPN and then most recently against the Miami Heat on Feb. 25 via NBA.com.

Worth noting is that compared to Abdul-Rauf, Curry has felt how it is to be a champion. Such has molded him to become a mature player without seeing changes on his overall personality compared to some of his teammates.
