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: th-cam.com/video/DH_KRAY_xBY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v4SkrEyH5iWtr4na

Steph better than Lebron
A lot of legends don’t respect each other it’s great to see LeBron and Curry’s relationship even through their rivalry
Media made it a rivalry, they rlly best friends lmaoooo but they do go at it every time they play eachother
@@ttggccI mean you can still be rivals with your friends.
Respect Steph always
I mean…didn’t MJ play golf with his basketball rivals?
😂😂😂@@JRMason-ri4ii
Steph has contributed his fair share to lebrons finals losses and every chance lebron gets he still manages to give Steph his flowers , gotta respect it .
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

Remember when Steph was mocking lebron at a party and kyrie was laughing

I 1000% agree , steph is soo relatable to alot of kids.....6'3 not super strong....... bron is one in a lifetime type of guy that ALOT of players can not relate to .
@TheReal-trublu357 straight facts. Lebron is my GOAT and I have said it myself Steph has influenced BB bcuz if his and AI size.But youtuber Dreamspro is making out like Lebron shaded MJ.
@leonardomoore1868 ya alot of people confuse the word "influential"
@leonardomoore1868 for me bron iis the goat as well....but what bron said is 100% correct....like I can't relate to bron when it comes to hooping....but I can relate more to curry.
@@leonardomoore1868 Good for you. But MJ is the GOAT objectively
I don't think a lot of people can relate to being 6ft 3 lol. Only about 5% of the adult male population is that height or taller.
Curry’s influence on this game is unprecedented. The game’s high scores, offensive driven league is all thanks to Curry and the Warriors’s success.
No actually that goes to Don Nelson and Mike D'Antoni they brought that style to the nba. Curry just took to another level.

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.
skip bayless has missed out on the greatness of steph and lebron all because of toxic narratives that is wild to think about.
i will always believe he does it for attention, no way a grown man can’t appreciate greatness! like bron and steph

Bron also changed the game with positionless basketball…Iggy said it too
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.
A.I. was influential OFF the court ON the court Jordan and Steph are the 2 most influential ever
Here after curry dropped 36 on Serbia 😤🙏🏽
Bron shows so much love to Steph & vice versa. Meanwhile their fans hate each other & constantly are at war lmaoooo

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.
JJ Reddick always been my favorite shooter of all time. Especially because during his Orlando & LA days. And please don’t get me started on the greatest march madness run EVER 🤧 Shoutout to JJ Reddick for making my childhood amazing
Man him at duke pissed me off as a UNC guy. Straight sniper
JJ Redick was also a part of the 3 point revolution. He is actually the one to inspire me to be a shooter. Watching him pull up for a 3 on a wide open fast break was all I needed to see at Duke
Not really single handed, Klay was breaking his records too. I mean he takes all the credit while Klay was/is one of the best shooters just behind him
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.
Just subbed. Hearing the game broken down like this is refreshing. We’re in the era of athlete media and I LOVE IT 🔥
Bron changed the game too, he was truly positionless
And also could guard all positions.
@@ndjibukabengele973no he can not
@@aquartermilu don’t watch basketball clearly
@@23Rounds nah I do I watched him get cooked by Jason terry, curry, kd, Duncan list goes on the man guards players that’s not even a factor on the court/ main factor and yall go off the few times he took the challenge to guard them even when he did it’s only 2-4 dudes he actually stopped or did good defensively on
@@aquartermil
You haven’t been watching basketball, his IQ, strength and athleticism gave the ability to guard all positions. Check him guarding Thiaggo who was the spurs centre in the NBA finals of 2013-2014.
to me, bron n steph are the two biggest names in the sport - so anytime i see em showin luv to one anotha, it needs to be cherished. two legends can co-exist
MJ still the most famous athlete bru
Agree for this generation
@@JohnBurgundyidk about that anymore that generation has moved on
Would like to see Rondo on here for sure.. seeing and hearing Pop on here would be dope too
We know he great on offense like when he pulled a gun on his family
Really appreciate Lebron giving his flowers to Rondo in 2020 playoffs. Rondo was late in his career and still was making high-level basketball IQ plays. Underrated player for the Lakers success in the bubble.

@@RealMayhem1 Rings matter. Longevity doesn't mean anything. 6 rings beats 3 any day (nobody counts mickey rings).
Love Lebron for respecting Stephen Curry! He is setting a good example for kids and future generations, on respecting the rivals and not hating on them.
Just go to the courts and you'll see his influence on the game. Whether it's the older players or the young ones, you'll see them shooting from beyond the arc. Whether they have a good shot or not, whether they can dribble or not, one thing is for sure - they all have Curry in mind when they attempt those three-pointers.
Not everyone is tall, not everyone is athletic, not everyone has hang time, but anyone with a normal height can shoot from beyond the arc. That's the reason why not everyone can be MJ, Kobe, or LeBron, but everyone can aspire to be like Curry behind the three-point line. That's why many people can relate to Curry, that's why he is the most influential in this era.
Whats crazy is how long it actually took for NBA teams to realize that 3 points is more then 2 points 😂.
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
It's hard to shoot 3s when you're being hand checked... that's why 3 point shooters were always running off screens...plus the 3 pointer didn't exist until 1979... please learn the history before being critical.

Steph definitely changed the entire nba dynamic. No other player besides maybe Jordan and Magic did because every team wanted a tall pg and a dynamic athletic wing like Jordan.
He's exactly right. Mike and LBJ are the GOATs, take your pick. But Steph and AI changed the very structure of the game and transformed the NBA into what we see today.
Yup. GOATs are the greatest to ever play. Influence is an entirely different discussion. People still seem to get them confused though.
@@HypocritesExposd 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.
4-6 takes him out the goat conversation

Steph changed how players play the game. AI changed how players look and gave you personality.

How come not MJ or Magic as most influential? Glad he gave the credit to Steph and AI, but MJ basically is the NBA that made NBA a global sports.
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.
@@DemonKing-oi4jd MJ is the most influential figure in sports history period.

Stop it!!! How many people are wearing Curry's shoes compared to Jordan's...exactly!!!
Who is here after Olympics 24..
Absolutely agree with "no lead is safe". back in the day, I was (as a fan) comfortable with a 10pt lead and a blow out was 20pts. Now, i'd double that. 20pts for a comfortable lead and 30-40 for a blowout.

Also the changed the rules to stop his crossover . All so fashion and just regular stuff now . Like braids tats , let players be able to be themselves… nba was stiff asf before AI
Draymond shoutout. People really think he was useless. He is big for the warriors
Jordan fans who try to say LeBron isn't the GOAT do this. Green in his early career, was great at 3s, and was a DMVP LEVEL. Green was touch AF to fight off in our batt8of Cleveland vs Oakland
To see lebron break down basketball and respect other players is another side of him that people gone hate on but i respect it
I don't understand how people can hate on him showing love to guys like Steph and others. I literally saw a bunch of videos on the main talk shows saying how he's wrong and stuff.

Lebron has Change the whole Game of basketball. Not only one Position. Like steph, jokic, Jordan, Dirk. They Are greats. But only on Their Positions.
LeBron hat changed every position, because he was a regular starter on each.
LeBron is Magic, scottie Pippen, Karl malone and draymond in one Person
So your just gonna make stuff up?
Lmao what 😂
In 2k or what?
JJ and LeBron I really love what you guys are doing and I really appreciate it man keep doing what you're doing love this Channel
How is Steph and AI more influential to the NBA than MJ? There‘s billions of people from all continents of the world that only knew of the NBA back then because of one name and one name only. Pre internet and social media too. The NBA gained popularity among the USA through Larry and Magic, and went international once MJ took over.
MJ is GOAT level. Along with Bron they are on a separate tier. People wanted to play LIKE THEM. Steph changed the very fundamentals and playbook of every single team in the league since the day he stepped in the league. AI brought a relatability and swagger to the game and made players feel they could express themselves fully. Seeing as after AI they removed the post game dress code
So....... it's different
@@_bwebbNah, not once have I heard anyone yell Bron when swishing a 3 into a paper bin. Always has been Jordan or Kobe. Bron ain't got it like that.
@@MrBananajoePL there are different ways of influence
@@GOAT71Sure, but that's beside the point. Bron compared quality not variety by saying most influential.
@@MrBananajoePL Yeah, as a casual just the highlights matter but with an understanding of the game its obvious that what Lebron said on the podcast is true.
Every athlete doesn't hate each other because they were rivals on the court. It's called maturity, character, and integrity. I say Kudos to Bron, Steph, KD, etc or any athlete who can put their egos aside and recognize the good qualities that each one has. KD, Steph, and Lebron are the epitome of showing that they are humans first and athletes second.They can compete with each other on the court and leave it on the court. That's what's wrong with some people today, they feed on negativity and hate. Why would anyone want them to hate each other? That Isaiah and Jordan nonsense is ridiculous. Two grown men holding on to grudges. I'm an elderly woman who has lived life and learned that hate is not the answer. Now, I'm sending hugs to everyone in the comment section.
Look at Curry man.. Chicken or Lamb they both killed it
If we talking about changing the game, I will give it to Steph. Because of his elite shooting from anywhere, defenders started to pick players from outside the paint.
But if we talking of influence, its Mj, Kobe, Vince Carter, AI and I will still say Curry.
Before you argue and display your ignorance, look up the meaning of Influence and Change.
Mj cant even apologize to Isiah thomas
😂😂😂😂
Why would he? You’re on TH-cam. Go look at what the Bad Boy Pistons did to him. That could be labeled assault! 😂
1:49 Lebron said Allen Iverson is 6’3 😂😭😭😂
I still think when it’s all said and done the biggest influence on the game will be MJ and Steph.
We all wanted to fly like Mike wear the shoes, and now everyone wants to shoot 3s.
I think jokic could influence/change the game a little bit too if he wins a few more rings because then it will be searching for bigs that can literally do it all.
This is fun to watch
No way u talkin about changing the game then bringing up Mike’s shoes😂…Bron changed the game more with the positionless basketball
Talking about basketball not marketing
@@LeSteelerhaha good point, but as a 90s kid even to today in my opinion, MJ was and still is the most influential.
When it’s all said and done I think Steph will be right there in terms of influence with MJ bc of the 3 ball and what it did to the game. 🤷🏽♂️
@@LeSteeler before MJ, backcourt players weren’t seen as franchise cornerstones. He single handedly changed that. There were position-less players well before Lebron…
@@jeffhardy6333 there were but it was a rarity. not nearly as many positionless players as there are now.
amazing content but wtf is going on with the camera???
Lebron cooked him😂😂
Our Podcast 👑 Bron JJ 🦾🔥🔥🔥
LeBron James is the GOAT 🐐
Wait how long has this pod been a thing??
Style Influence - Iverson
Shooting Influence - Curry
Free Agency Influence - Lebron
Work Ethic Influence - Kobe
Shoe Endorsement Influence - MJ
International Scouting Influence - Doncic
change "Free Agency Influence" with "positionless basketball influence" and this would be spot on
Shoe Endorsement Influence is what you're giving Mike? 🤡 Dude brought the game global
Donic lol what about manu n dirk
@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. It's the reason he's the richest athlete in the world today.
LeBron influenced position less basketball
Remember my school days when I loved watching Iverson. And Steph is my fav player for last 10 years+
LeBron I've been watching you since the Irish.your the g.o.a.t the king and its been a pleaser.your positive impact on and off the court is what legends are made of!!
Man look at Curry so inspirational
Please bring skip bayless to the show 😂
To toxic
@@teresamcgee-vd2uc it would break the internet
One of the worst things Steph brought was in Jr basketball - 8 yr olds heaving horrible 3s. The worst form ever, 2% efficiency and if one goes in they feel validated and jack up more.
Otherwise, love Steph.
THERE IS NOBODY MORE INFLUENTIAL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE NBA THAN MJ TBH
Whether you like him or not - LeBron definitely is
It’s crazy watching when Steph first started to really go into that superstar status in 2015 and 2016 thinking he was going to fade away to how I eventually just saw the impact he had on the way the style of the game and center around. Now people won’t consider you a threat if you can’t shoot a 3 lol.
To even remotely pretend that Michael Jordan wasn't (and still is) the most influential player in the history of the sport is beyond insane. Everyone, literally everyone, wanted to be like Mike... even people who didn't play basketball. That's real talk.
But they couldn't be like mike....you cant practice the athletics plays that MJ makes...you can sit in your driveway and work on your handle or go to the gym and work on your 3pt shooting
Michael Jordan was a One Trick Pony. Who can Start and dominate only ONE Position at the highest Level. Of course you can copy and try to play Like him. Everybody can be Like Mike. Look at Kobe. The closest thing To Jordan. Or Tracy mcgrady, Anthony Edwards. Rookie LeBron.
@@YesSir35688 A one trick pony? Wild statement of epic delusional levels.
@@GrumpyPenguin1 You can't perfectly emulate him, but you can try and copy him ... like we ALL did.
@@dcolum23MJ influence was more off the court than on the court. Their talkimg about highest level. At the highest level everyone wasnt trying to be like Mike cause they couldn't. MJ changed the way gms maybe would draft, but he didn't change the game on court wise like steph. Steph changed the game completely transcending his position. some say for the better others say for the worse
Mark Jackson change the NBA because he allowed Steph Curry to shoot the three-point shot whenever he wanted to as well as Klay Thompson. No coach in the history of the NBA he ever done that before. So we really have no idea how many great players could’ve shot like that, but we’re never allowed to.
AI glazing is insane 😭😭
You’re too young kid
@@yoitsyoboyjohnny5891yeah ok i’m talking about the tattoo
AI was a trendsetter
There's no glazing going on, don't always have to use that word.
Bro JJs whole career came and went then he started like 2 more and Bron is still playing at a high level! Man I can't even believe there was ever a GOAT conversation!
Steph Changed the game of basketball in a bad way if we being honest
Nah he made it better. But he also exposed those that arent that dude fundamentally.
Yeah I've been saying this for years and no one wants to acknowledge it.
Kids don't even want to learn the fundamentals of basketball they just wanna shoot like Steph.
During USA basketball we were down by 1 in the closing seconds we only attempted 3s. That's the Curry affect.
The level of respect is cool!
Basketball IQ is so underrated
