[@chamandito363]

Bron and Curry they respect and admire one another.

[@jayybiggaveli6632]

That’s what a 5 year war does you can’t help buh to respect your opponents

[@SamuelJ888]

Steph is most dangerous without the ball is all u need to know he shoulda won at least one of those finals mvps during cavs series

[@oldmennewgames]

Jep Even ty Lui himself said, he would double steph rather than kd, cause steph was better and raked havoc on the floor.

[@wmasterss]

​@@oldmennewgames steph most definitely isn't better than KD. i doubt lue said that.

[@18brandon92]

@@wmastersshe’s not “better” than KD. But in the context of the Warriors’ offense, he’s more dangerous so he requires more attention.

[@nastypig5459]

any player the opposing team feels compelled to trap 40 feet from the hoop is the mvp of that game/series

[@Balladsandlovesongs]

@@wmastersslook it up. He said it after the 2018 finals

[@noahdaugherty8235]

Not a huge Bron fan but he always has the upmost respect for Steph and i appreciate that about him

[@jairveldhuis7188]

He respects no one more, on that court.

[@valjohnson7112]

pretty interesting comments from lebron. its exactly like he describes in chess too. when you are playing a really good player they dont usually make spectacular game winning moves. its more like they force you into an uncomfortable position and keep you under pressure making you more and more uncomfortable until something collapses.

[@dantemarcos1410]

If u fighting a guy who can hurt you anytime he wants ya definitely be uncomfortable 😣

[@alrizo1115]

Pat Bev already talked about this. You don't study Steph all day before a game. You rest the entire day because when the game comes, You'll need to be in best shape. You'll get gassed out defending the man.

[@jrsantoyo9028]

The warriors are the patriots of the nfl when Brady was with them. I’m a Bucs fan when he got to Tampa he made them a winning team. Steph is that type of guy. People want to play with him like they did with Brady.

[@noahdaugherty8235]

Yep, it's a definitely a quality of his that I think gets overlooked. Steph being unselfish and humble helped get KD to the warriors ,which helped them win 2 more titles. And their overall unselfish style of ball def gets some old vets interested in joining them for cheap to see if they nab arl ring with Steph. Dude is so humble, and always been loyal to the Warriors. He also had that mega team friendly contract in the beginning of his career that helped jumpstart their dynasty for sure

[@ShavonaHooper]

I disagree because the Patriots cheated to win and everybody act like they was the best by being better and not because they had everybody’s private practices filmed to know what the teams were looking to do against them and knew how to counter it.

[@danielwilliams173]

That was actually a really insightful clip. Most podcast clips, especially sports ones, say nothing in a lot of words. But you picked a good one. Really interesting comments from Bron.

[@MulletMike]

In this clip, what did you learn you didn’t already know?

[@danielwilliams173]

​@@MulletMike I just said that it was insightful, though. I didn't say that it was so original that none of it has been thought of by anyone ever before. A few things in this clip were interesting, especially coming from Bron. First, hearing from Bron -- one of the Mt. Rushmore GOATS, one of the highest game IQs ever and someone who has faced Steph many times in the highest-stakes situations -- that Steph, the undisputed greatest shooter ever, is in fact most dangerous when he does not have the ball -- that is very interesting. Second, hearing Bron, who has seen the game evolve over 20+ seasons at the highest level, say that most of the best players in the league are too formulaic to adapt to creative offenses is a damning indictment of current NBA players. Third, hearing Bron say that the Warriors have maintained their success through ingenuity rather than just great shooting. Fourth, hearing Bron's deep and intricate appreciation of the nuances of the game never gets old and continually impresses me. All of this stuff was interesting to me.

[@MulletMike]

@@danielwilliams173 and you’ve never heard any of this before? Only difference is that it’s coming from him. Most of that you could’ve did the “eye test” to see. I would like to hear his feelings on the media pressure he’s faced, literally, his whole basketball life. Kobe had ‘Detail” now that was insightful.

[@danielwilliams173]

​@@MulletMike Ok. But again, that's not what 'insightful' means. It means deep and nuanced understanding. It does not mean completely unprecedented in the entire history of human thought. Plenty of 'insightful' statements are mundane and unoriginal; in fact, that's true in most cases, especially with something like basketball. At this point, in 2024, after potentially millions of shows, articles, and discussions about basketball all day, every day, every year, if someone actually said something truly original about basketball, it would almost surely be wrong, simply b/c every true thing has already been said about basketball. And yeah, I would like to hear LeBron talk about media scrutiny too. That would be another opportunity for him to say something insightful, but even then, it won't be original, b/c again every true thing has already been said about that topic as well. (And yes, Kobe was great. (This is not a contest. We know he was capable of insight too).

[@danielwilliams173]

@@MulletMike Oh, and by the way, if you think Detail couldn't have been done just as well, and just as easily, by most NBA coaches, NBA scouts, and former NBA players, you're simply wrong. Lots of people can do an Xs and Os show. But it was cool to see an NBA great like Bryant show his understanding of the game (that's why you liked it), and now it's cool to see LeBron do the same, albeit a slightly different format. Only difference is that people form fan groups around some players (MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Kobe) and end up hating any player who might be perceived as equally good or better. (I really hate it when fans do that)

[@user-bp6rz1vx7b]

I’ve been saying that for yrs.. ppl think Steph’s biggest strength is his shooting just bcoz he’s the best shooter of all time, But in reality his biggest strength is his off the ball movement. The amount of gravity he creates on the floor by running around without the ball is insane! Which allows other players to open up for easy bucket. Steph’s stamina and ability to run around and quick release that’s what makes him so deadly and special!!

[@smootht4578]

he's not better the micheal jordan! crazy!.. go watch footage of him!...

[@tonyolise5926]

The strength of Steph is his unpredictability... He is dangerous off the ball and also with the ball... With the ball, he has to be triple teamed to control him and not to stop him... The only player in the league you dont want to see the breathe of air even when he is not with the ball... He dissects defenses and creates winning plays even if he is not scoring...

[@smootht4578]

I been telling ppl this for years. I never seen a player moves as much as Steph, it’s like he have infinite stamina on the court, he never seems tired just constantly moving non stop.

[@ashbody000]

Great acknowledgment from Bron

[@iitsrjbruh]

when he run without the ball you will have to watch out for screens also😂

[@welsonma3911]

Yeah and some of those screens might be moving. Gotta watch out and make sure you don't get punched by accident.

[@vanderdias6617]

Isn’t that the point of moving without the ball?! 😂. And Steph is the only one uses screens🙄, aight 😅

[@AT-vc6ds]

If a guys beaten you three times in the NBA finals then of course he’s a problem!

[@daviddunson5522]

Lebron putting the podcast world on notice. He taking this serious.

[@FixxxerZ7]

Such words of wisdom.... what an insight. They are "not comfortable with being uncomfortable" says the wise man. Who would have thought?!

[@TheUncannyOne]

TWO LEGENDS! THEY NEED TO TEAM UP! 🔥🔥🐐🐐

[@skaylingop9673]

I actually really thought, for them to have a chance at beating South Carolina, that Iowa needed to play like this with Caitlin.

[@danielkavideo1822]

Crazy! I said the same thing on the game day. Iowa could steal Warriors' style of play and beat anybody simply bcz Caitlin is the only player that could easily replicate everything Steph does. Anyway, it's too late now 😬

[@skaylingop9673]

@@danielkavideo1822 not everything. Her ball handling is mid tbh, but nonetheless, I agree with the overall sentiment

[@silloweet]

Her teammates are too goofy and low in basketball IQ to play like this. If she had a better layup package and a floater, she lowkey might’ve been able to just win the game herself

[@saimonet4261]

I'm exhausted just watching Steph play. Imagine trying to mark him on the court.

[@StrongerCoffee1]

See this is the guy we need to hear from LeBron James has been to four finals with the Warriors if anyone has faced the Golden State Warriors at the highest level it's him I hate when I see Stephen A Smith and Kendrick Perkins talking about Stephen Curry and you've never battled this man on the highest stage you don't know until you know and LeBron has lived this it's one if you're watching it and you're talking about it it's quite another if you advancing depends on it

[@richardly1543]

Lebron really had fo clarify that point of view stands for POV

[@DK-yj1ez]

Lebron is having problems guarding Curry (the japanese Keisei). Imagine how much harder to guard the real deal. Keisei is going to revolutionise NBA

[@tonyolise5926]

The only player in the league you dont want to see the breathe of air even when he is not with the ball... He dissects defenses and creates winning plays even if he is not scoring... And seeing all these effect on games and the impact he has made on the sport world over, yet Media and TV analyst will keep rationalising about steph being in the top 10 or top 5 of all time greats? Come on... its not a debate... Steph is the greatest of all time!!! The GOAT!!!

"POV" Bron know that term well

[@kouani1995]

im just here to say hi to Lebrons haters. i know they are here cuz they watch every Brons move 😂 sup!

[@kgar5String]

He can’t score without the ball, the problem is when he does not have the ball he can score in a second once he touch it

[@Relax-il7zn]

I'm not tryna go against Lebron and act like I know more. But imo it's better to say he's JUST AS good without the ball as he is with it. Cuz I get what he's saying, but his off the dribble and half court presence with the ball is just as scary as long as he's not double teamed. To say he's better without the ball sounds too discrediting to his ability to score with it in his hands.

[@mrfr33b0i2]

He didn’t say better though, he said most dangerous. As in, he causing greater reactions from the defense with his movement, and Golden State’s offense is set up to take advantage of that

[@silloweet]

You know Steph is the GOAT when the perceived goat trembles in his boots thinking about him
