LeBron James’ recent comments on the Mind The Game podcast regarding Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson being the most influential players in basketball have sparked a heated debate in the basketball community. On the latest Run It Back episode by FanDuel, Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons also engaged in a deep discussion on the topic. While Parsons disagreed with James, the three-time Sixth Man of the Year explained why the Lakers superstar wasn’t entirely wrong.
Parsons began the conversation by highlighting how Curry and Iverson had made a significant impact on the sport. Parsons praised Curry’s three-point shooting skills and Iverson’s cultural influence. Despite acknowledging the importance of both players in NBA history, Parsons firmly believed that Michael Jordan was the most influential player due to his on-court success and the Jordan Brand’s global reach.
Lou Williams shared LeBron James’ opinion, emphasizing the impact Curry and Iverson had on kids today. Williams noted how children in the 2000s idolized Curry for his shooting abilities, while players today emulate Iverson’s fashion sense and style. Williams pointed out that while Jordan popularized the NBA in his era, Curry and Iverson have had a profound influence on younger generations.
In agreement with Williams and James, LeBron James highlighted how relatable Curry and Iverson were to kids of today.
James praised Iverson’s crossover skills and fashion sense, as well as Curry’s long-range shooting abilities. While acknowledging Jordan’s greatness, James noted that the smaller stature of Curry and Iverson made them more relatable and inspiring to young fans.
Overall, while Michael Jordan’s impact on the NBA cannot be understated, the influence of Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson on the younger generations cannot be denied. Their unique skills and styles have made them icons in today’s basketball world, resonating with fans in a different way compared to the legends of previous eras.
