LeBron James on Stephen Curry's Unmatched Influence on the NBA 

Very much like Kobe's "Details" - but without mentioning Kobe at all. Kobe did so much for Lebron that people do not know about. I was disappointed he didn't even mention him. Iverson on Kobe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DH_KRAY_xBY.htmlsi=v4SkrEyH5iWtr4na

Steph better than Lebron

LeBron also caused the biggest choke job ever by the warriors. That they had to add KD to a 73-win team.

KD took those rings. He's the one that daggered the Cavs twice. He was the best player against the Rockets both years and was the best player in 2019 until he got injured.

Lol coz curry has 0 finals mvps against bron.......everytime I hear bron talk about curry or Durant he looks so secure coz he knows both are beneath him 😂😂😂😂

@@davidjames6036 the media knew what 2015 meant. They wouldnt allow that fmvp to be Steph's and that's what most of the 11 voters have admitted to

Let’s be real we all know KD is the main reason Curry won those rings

Media made it a rivalry, they rlly best friends lmaoooo but they do go at it every time they play eachother

It's rule changes, if they were allowed to play more physically defensively, and didn't change how they called travels it wouldn't be an explosive offense as we see today.

Curry changed the game for the worst because many players today are out there shooting 3s they can't make.

i will always believe he does it for attention, no way a grown man can’t appreciate greatness! like bron and steph

I dont understand how is your reply related to the original comment

@@gooonher he copy pasting stuff in all the comments

He followed him since Davidson they friends

Steph my favorite player but Lebron my second favorite player and I have respect for both of them. It’s just Bron fans who get mad at the finals losses, when it’s really not that deep.

Yeah, LeBron took the drive-and-kick to a whole other level.

I get that but there’s dudes doing what Lebron was doing before him. No one was doing what Steph and AI did. If anything, Lebron changed free agency and play empowerment forever

Also 4 out

I see where you getting with that one. there seems to be more players these days that are great in every aspect of athleticism and like you said, more positionless players. just wait until someone in nba history is a literal combined skillset and greatness of lebron and curry. it would be ridiculous.

​@@jeffhardy6333 You're wrong. People were doing what Steph did, just on a lesser scale. Ray Allen was peaking at 8 3PA a game. Reggie Miller was killing teams with elite off the ball movement. Even players like Gilbert Arenas were launching deep off the dribble threes. What Curry did was combine incredible volume with devastating efficiency. He put everything together and most importantly WON. Just like LeBron. Pippen was already playing as a point forward in Chicago for instance. And Magic was a big playmaker who could score at a high level after Kareem dropped off. But just like Curry supercharged what the others before him did, LeBron also supercharged what those before him did. Nothing in basketball happens out of thin air. People are constantly improving on the works of their predecessors. It's evolution, not revolution.

Man him at duke pissed me off as a UNC guy. Straight sniper

We know he great on offense like when he pulled a gun on his family

Klay never avg over 22pts as one of the 'best shooters " behind him so how impactful was he really? and Klay is the typical catch and shoot 3pt specialist thats been around forever not good off the dribble somebody has to set his shot up for him and he don't take deep 3s which is the opposite of what the league is rn everybody would be playing like jj redick on high volume if klay really helped change the game or deserved more credit and klay only broke one of Curry records most 3s in a game and Curry forced feed him the ball to do it vs Chicago Curry and gsw wanted him to get it by any means they pass the ball to him like 10x in a row even when he missed 14-24 so it's not impressive

You are right however Curry is the one who carried the warriors a way Klay could never even dream of.

And also could guard all positions.

@@ndjibukabengele973no he can not

I think they've always known, it's just that there weren't a lot of players good enough to hit them at a rate that made it worth it. If I recall I think you need to hit 33% of your 3s to have the same value as hitting 50% of your 2s. Weren't a lot of dudes back then that could reliably hit >33% of their 3s. Now damn near everybody can.

​@@brittanyblassingillI know this is unrelatable to the subject but my god your so beautiful

Yup. GOATs are the greatest to ever play. Influence is an entirely different discussion. People still seem to get them confused though.

@@hypocritetrollbot7729 Couldn't agree more. TD and Kareem are great examples of how you can be good but no one tries to play like you. Bank shots are dead, sky hook never caught on, but they are undeniably some of the greatest. Two very different concepts, greatness and influence. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they dont.

If you watched the full podcast, Bron said since he’s been watching and studying the game, those two guys he mentioned are the most influential. Not to take away from any accomplissements from MJ and magic bc they are great for a reason, but AI and Steph being the size they are and doing what they do does have a major influence on the world and kids.

So youre saying lebron didnt watch MJ play when he was a kid? Haha why do you think he wears 23. What hes trying to do is play down MJ and that era to lift himself up but he will never reach it!

@@digger2373 Jordan was the greatest, but not sure that's the same as most influential. Steph definitely changed how the game was played. Michael's game was head and shoulders above others, but his game at its foundation was similar to many of his predecessors. (I love MJ, just to be clear.) What Steph - and AI to a lesser degree - did was new. The same could be said about Magic also. And perhaps even Dirk, because not too many 7-footers before him were launching 3s. Now many do.

​ How can you say MJ wasn't the most influential? Every player since MJ has been influenced by him, and it's not close. Curry is way lower influence than MJ and Iverson isn't even in the convo.

​@dcolum23 That wasn't just Mike, tho. The dream team did that in'92, with Mike being the star and then the 90s saw the NBA build on the success of the 80s with improvements in television and global communication. Mike getting the shoe game accolade ain't a joke though, he revolutionised that whole industry, Nike basically owes him for the success of their company and the effect he had on the shoe game in the NBA and street culture will never be replicated.
