When it comes to influential players in the game of basketball, especially in NBAit is impossible not to mention Stephen Curry e Allen Iverson. The former revolutionized the game with his 3-point shot, the latter was an icon on and off the pitch. He knows it very well too LeBron Jameswho in the first episode of his new podcast, “Mind the Game“, with JJ Redickhe crowned Curry e Iverson come the most influential players of the current generation.
LeBron: “Curry and Iverson were and are recognisable”
LeBron is a true fan of the game and recognizes the major influence of Curry e Iverson, both among fans and in the way the game is played. In their new podcast, “Mind the Game“, LeBron e JJ Redick they discussed this topic. Redick he noted that when he entered the league, coaches would replace starters if there was a 19-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but that’s no longer the case. LeBron understands the reason for this change. “I think that since 2008 or 2009, or in any case since he entered the league, everything has changed. He himself changed the ‘no advantage is reassuring’. He’s like Patrick Mahomes now (Quarterback dei Kansas City Chiefs, ndr)“.
“When it comes to influence in basketball, I feel like Steph Curry and Allen Iverson have been the two most influential players as long as I’ve been watching the game and covering it. Iverson was known for his amazing crossover and cornrows, while Curry is famous for his three-point shot. Both were role models for me and changed the way I play, influencing many kids“. LeBron recognizes the size of his long-time rival, Curryas well as a player he only faced in the first years of his career, such as Iverson.
“They are also so recognizable because of their height. Because the people and especially the kids who watch the games can recognize themselves in them. First there were cornrows, crossovers and leg warmers on AI’s arm, now it’s Steph shooting from the Empire State Building.”
