Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley proclaim Warriors' Steph Curry the NBA's best player

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry keyed another late-season win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, and subsequently drew high praise from TNT's "Inside the NBA" crew.

After dropping 34 points and propelling his team back into the Western Conference's No. 8 seed, Curry was called the "best player in the league" by Shaquille O'Neal, who argued for Curry to win his third career MVP award. O'Neal made this argument over the dissent of one Charles Barkley.

"MVP," O'Neal said repeatedly as soon as Warriors post-game highlights started playing.

"Now you're talking stupid again," Barkley replied.
