If he maintains his current level of play he'll have a case.
In any case I think AI's just being modest. He had incredible handles.

If you scared, just say you scared!
Seriously though, when you break down the "skills" of basketball, it ultimately comes down to three things.
Dribbling, passing, and shooting. Curry is absolutely elite at all three of those.
I know that post moves are a skill (related to shooting), but no big man will ever hold the title of most skilled just because of dribbling being a problem.
What highlights Curry's skill is that he doesn't have good size. He absolutely cannot over power a player. He is on the short end of NBA guards, and he is definitely on the skinny end. The guy just won the MVP award because of his incredible skill. Some people will throw Pistol Pete's name into the ring, and there are some good arguments, but his level of competition just wasn't even close to Curry's.
