Steph Curry or Lebron

[fifth column]

Who is the more influential player of the 2010 decade Chef or Bron. Let’s do a quick rundown then y’all tell it.

Steph is responsible for changing the way the game is played with his 3 point shooting. Everybody jacking 3s now from NBA to pickup ball. Steph set the trend for jacking from near half court that Dame and other shooters try to copy. In the 2010s Steph has 2 MVPs 1 unanimous and 3 chips.
Lebron is responsible for player empowerment when it comes to choosing a team. This new super team trend is attributed to Bron fair or unfair. Bron has influenced star athletes speaking out more on social injustice. In 2010s Lebron has 3 MVPs and 3 chips leading 3 different teams.

So who is the more influential? Btw influential doesn’t mean who’s the better overall player

I’m going with Steph in the 2010s just for the new NBA revolution. Lebron is the more important player to the league over the entirety of his career but the 2010s I think Steph got the edge.

Except that Steph isn't responsible for teams jacking 3s. No one thinks they can be Steph and no one tries. (Well, except for maybe Dame.) Steph became the face of it cause he was so good at it but he didn't lead jack shyt in that regard, what other team is playing Golden State's style and what other player mimics Steph's game?

If any team led the 3pt revolution it was Houston, not Golden State. The Rockets consistently shot more threes than the Warriors did and they did it with more regular players. The ball-dominant guards coming in like Trae and Luka play a lot more like Harden than like Steph. But really it was a steady league-wide revolution.


In terms of playing style I don't think LeBron is incredibly influential either, except to the degree that Bron bumping down to 4 and pushing Bosh to 5 helped usher in the small-ball revolution and how he normalized the point-forward role. Both of those things may have come about without him but he was definitely at the forefront and had an impact. The real influence though is that every fukking roster every fukking year was built with beating LeBron in the back of their minds, and every fukking player in the NBA was thinking every single season about whether they had what it takes to beat LeBron or not.

Bron because he got 4 titles doing what he did and KD got two following him. Steph changed the way the game is played but who plays like Steph and has led teams to titles yet besides himself?

 

[GzUp]

Bron, it’s not even close

In a nutshell you voted for Raymone

Steph. And it's not even close. Changed basketball as a whole, not just the nba, parks, playgrounds, gyms around the country. Everybody think they that nikka.


Kd the only nikka who did that Bron shyt.

Steph is more relatable which makes him more influential in this instant.

Some of y'all need to remember who actually led this charge. Golden State got attention because they had Steph and Klay. But did other squads say, "Hey, all we need to do is go out and get our out Steph and Klay and run a bunch of off-ball motion and passing!" Nah, no one thought they could do that. Y'all would struggle to name a single team that plays that way.

While teams did their own thing and followed their own (often analytics-driven) strategy that led them to increase threes, if anyone was the leader that had influence it was Houston, not Golden State. The play style everyone complains about is the Houston model, not the Golden State model.

Right but look at that leap even Houston took after Steph's 2016 season.
And it's not just the aggregate attempts, it was how Steph and Klay to a lesser extent took them...normalizing 3 on 1 breaks spotting up, pulling up in transition, distance etc etc.

That's why stats ain't everything. Literally nobody attributes houston to that shyt.
