The argument over the greatest player in NBA history has never been settled, and Michael Jordan’s name has long sat at the center of it. Stephen Curry has his own believers in that debate, and at 38 he has the Golden State Warriors off to an 8-3 start.

Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg is the latest to weigh in, using one of his live streams to show viewers a Jordan poster that he plans to swap for one of Curry.

Yaxel Lendeborg Plans to Replace Michael Jordan Poster

The clip, in which Lendeborg also gave Curry a new title, came less than five months after he joined the Warriors as a self-described Kyrie Irving fan. It was making the rounds by Monday evening, before the Warriors tipped off at home, and drew quick approval from fans claiming the 24-year-old forward as their own. “That’s my rookie,” one wrote.

Showing the poster to viewers, Lendeborg laid out his plan: “You all see the GOAT over there? I’m going to change it to a Steph Curry poster, guys, don’t worry. My real GOAT. My glorious King. My one and only.”

One fan zeroed in on the new title: “Dude plays ball with him and calling him glorious king I love this kid.”

Another fan signed off on the planned swap: “Out with the MJ poster, up goes Steph. My rookie has his priorities straight.”

The planned move from Jordan to Curry read to one fan as a generational shift: “Greatness is timeless, but every generation has its own definition of the GOAT.”

The stream was a long way from where Lendeborg started with Curry. His loyalties trace back to 2016, when he was 13 and picking sides in the Warriors’ rivalry with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Golden State took him 11th overall on June 23, the highest pick of general manager Mike Dunleavy’s tenure, after he had first met Curry at the Warriors’ play-in game against the LA Clippers in April. That night in Brooklyn, he said which side he had been on: “I’m a big Kyrie [Irving] guy. So I used to hate Steph Curry.”

Curry, a four-time champion, weighed in that month with a comment on Lendeborg’s draft-night post: “Let’s go! Welcome to the Bay! I’m going to work hard to be your new favorite player.”

By August, he was ranking Curry among the very best. Asked on an earlier stream where Curry ranks all-time, Lendeborg answered: “Top 3. After Steph get this ring this year, he finna be number 1. Don’t worry.”

Three months later, he has gone a step further, from a top-three ranking to calling Curry his real GOAT. That turn drew another fan’s approval: “My rook knows ball.”

Lendeborg and Curry started together Monday as the Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans 138-87 at Chase Center for their eighth straight win. Lendeborg assisted on Curry’s first 3-pointer of the night, a 26-foot step-back early in the first quarter, and Golden State led by as many as 51 points.

Curry scored 25 points in 21 minutes, shooting 4-of-7 from the 3-point range and 9-of-9 at the free-throw line, and shared the team lead with Brandin Podziemski. Lendeborg added 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-4 from deep, with seven rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.

The win left Golden State tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets at 8-3, holding fourth in the Western Conference on the tiebreaker after a 0-3 start. The Warriors visit the Rockets on Wednesday at Toyota Center, with tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET, and then play the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Wednesday’s result will break the tie between Golden State and Houston.
