Barkley indicated that Curry's style, which emphasizes shooting and finesse, may not have thrived in the more physically demanding NBA of the 1990s. He argued that the hand-checking and toughness prevalent in that era would pose significant challenges for Curry, even as he acknowledged Curry's shooting prowess. Barkley referenced Michael Jordan's ability to endure physical play as a contrast to Curry's style.
