Michael Jordan, Steph Curry, and the trap of out-of-context quotes

Last night, I was dozing through a YouTube how-to on escaping from a vehicle submerged in water when a flurry of message notifications startled me.

“MICHAEL JORDAN SAYS STEPH CURRY ISN’T A HALL OF FAMER” was the headline of several messages blowing up my phone. Huh??

My social feed was already crammed with reactions, and then reactions to the reactions. Tweets like:

According to Michael Jordan, Steph Curry is still not a Hall of Famer.

Curry is 2-time & back-to-back MVP, 6-time NBA All-Star, 3-time NBA champ, scoring champ, & 3rd all-time in made 3s.
