NBA players Steph Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant all appeared to be losing it after their early postseason exits.
All of the stars’ accomplishments during their careers have already solidified their basketball legacies. However, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN claims that Curry’s is unique from James’ and Durant’s for one specific reason.
In the never-ending GOAT discussion, James has frequently been compared to and contrasted with Michael Jordan; yet, Smith feels that Curry’s legacy is more similar to Jordan’s.
“No player completes it on their own. We heard you, Scottie Pippen. You’re one of the all-time greats, and we know you assisted Michael Jordan. But Jordan was above the rest,” Smith remarked on “First Take” on Tuesday. “We are positive about Micahel Jordan’s impact on a society because of his will and rebellion that accompanied it. That is not the actions of LeBron James. Kevin Durant did not act in that way.
Since LeBron had to travel to Miami in order to win the championship, it is important to note how excellent they were as players. Then, in order to win in Cleveland, LeBron returned to Cleveland, teamed up with Kyrie Irving, and recruited Kevin Love from Minnesota. And it took LeBron to get [Anthony Davis] prior to his victory in Los Angeles.
“Jordan remained. Steph Curry remained. They constructed their buildings with Jordan and Steph Curry in mind. With LeBron and KD, that was not the situation. Therefore, we must view those circumstances differently. Although we can combine them all in one sentence to answer a question, each of the three had a distinct career path.”
