Among all the teams making their respective pitches to LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have been publicly doing their part to suggest signing with the Golden State Warriors.

The team was rumored to be at the top of the King’s list at the start of free agency, provided they managed to trade for Washington Wizards center Anthony Davis. Since that is unlikely to happen, the players are doing their bit.

But ever since Curry’s first pitch, and then Green’s get-together with the league’s all-time leading scorer over golf, the organization has been rising on betting sites as possibly being the front-runner to land James.

Going to the Bay Area takes care of a few things for the four-time champion. On one hand, he will enjoy playing alongside his Paris Olympics teammate and one of his closest friends.

On the other hand, they can bond over golf, while also helping James get a leg into Silicon Valley, where investments can add to his billion-dollar net worth. Apart from that, he will also get a chance to win another title or two. But aside from the individual accomplishments, one analyst thinks it will be great for basketball.

If it all comes together, and if he (James) were to go out as champion with Steph Curry at Golden State in Year 25, the Warriors brand would probably be at that point the No. 1 basketball brand in the world.

Max Kellerman said on the Game Over Podcast

The former ESPN analyst was suggesting that if LeBron James and Stephen Curry were to win a championship together on the Warriors, the $11 billion franchise would be so massive that it could become a global brand.

Rich Paul believes NBA could expand globally with LeBron James and Stephen Curry

Max Kellerman was trying to suggest that the Golden State Warriors would become the biggest sporting brand in the world if LeBron James and Stephen Curry teamed up to win a championship. Hearing this, the former’s agent, Rich Paul, said this:

In that case, there would be a game in Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, Mexico City, Seoul… You have to take those guys global… Those two guys.

Rich Paul said

The Klutch Sports CEO believes that if the two most popular superstars in the league were to win it all, the NBA can expand globally without any hindrance.

Currently, the NFL has taken the lead in playing quite a few games in other countries every year. Those countries may not have any interest in the sport, but ticket sales so far say otherwise.

If James and Curry were to spearhead the NBA’s global expansion, it would be a cakewalk compared to what the NFL is trying to do. However, as Kellerman suggested, the two have to be healthy to do that at this stage of their respective careers.

Rich Paul believes Warriors should get 60 nationally televised games with LeBron James and Stephen Curry

The NBA has tried to lean on LeBron James and Stephen Curry a lot over the past few years, as is evident from the ‘forced’ battles to either start the season or on Christmas Day. But that will change if the two join hands.

First of all, you realize the NBA Schedule isn’t out yet, why isn’t it out?… The NBA would have to give the Warriors 60 national televised games.

Rich Paul said

Paul admitted that he was being sarcastic when he said 60 games, but acknowledged that the league might have to give the Warriors at least 40 nationally televised games. That is the draw the two have collectively, and the NBA should capitalize on it if it were to happen.
