On December 13, Beijing time, according to NBC Sports, ESPN celebrity Stephen A-Smith, known as "Yang Yi of the United States", said that if Stephen Curry wins the championship this season, then he should surpass LeBron James to become an idol player of this generation.
Curry and James
Jordan passed the torch to Kobe Bryant, and Kobe passed the torch to James. Any discussion of the greatest players in history includes players like Jordan, Bryant, and James, who has long been considered the best and most influential player in the league today. But Smith wants everyone to consider changing that.
If not James, curry is the greatest idol of the generation? What if you compare Curry to Jordan?
Jordan changed the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s, and Curry, the greatest shooter in history, pushed the boundaries of the court with his long-range shooting, leading to an entire generation of high school students, college students, and NBA players shooting from distances unheard of more than 10 years ago. "Know what I'm thinking? I was thinking about Curry and James. "Over the years, we've compared James and Jordan. Can James influence the game more than Jordan? How will his contribution compare to Jordan's? But perhaps the question we should start asking is: Is Curry ahead of James as the basketball icon of this generation? ”
Smith continued: "Don't get me wrong, James is great, he's a legend. But if Curry and the Warriors win this season's championship, he'll have as many championship rings as James. In a warrior team stronger than the Lakers, he also has a chance to win more championships than James and is in a better position in the game for a long time. What if Curry had more championships and all-time three-point records? If Curry has changed the way he plays, and he has, then maybe we shouldn't compare James and Jordan. Maybe we should talk about Curry and Jordan. Here are some things worth thinking about. ”
James, who will turn 37 on Dec. 31 of this year, is in his 19th season in the league and is undoubtedly one of the best athletes in the history of sports. In terms of individual awards and honor lists, Curry can't be compared to James, but as Smith points out, if the Warriors win this season's championship, Curry will also have 4 championship rings like James. If championship rings are an important part of discussing the greatest players of all time, would Curry have won more championships, would that have put him ahead of James?
