On January 7, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. Earlier today, bill Simmons, a well-known NBA commentator, talked about Lakers star James and Warriors star Curry on the show, and he made a comment and comparison of the careers of these two stars.
Bill Simmons said: "James has been the best player in the NBA for the last 15 years, and he has one of the greatest careers in NBA history. But you wouldn't say he changed the way basketball is played, what he does on the court has always been perfecting what used to be there. If we talk about it from the big picture, Curry really changed the way basketball is played, and if he can reach several finals and win two championships in the early stages of his career, maybe his career height will be higher. ”
Bill Simmons continued: "Overall, I always thought James was a better player than Curry, but that comparison was limited to achievement. But if we add something else, like the impact on basketball, Curry is definitely ahead of everyone else in terms of changing the way basketball is played. Curry has really done to change the way basketball is played, to change the way young people play, to change the way they resonate with young people, and that's what James didn't do. ”
So far in his career, James has won a total of 4 NBA championships, 4 regular season MVP, 4 FMVP, 17 all-Star teams, 13 NBA Best Team first team, career total score ranked 3rd in NBA history, he is very promising to impact the NBA's historical scoring champion in the future.
Curry has won 3 NBA championships, 2 regular season MVPs, 7 All-Stars, and 4 NBA All-Team First Team. In the middle of the season, Curry completed the surpassing of Ray Allen and topped the NBA's all-time three-point throne. It is worth mentioning that James and Curry have played each other in the Finals a total of 4 times, and Curry's Warriors have won 3 of them.
