On the other hand, Los Angeles Lakers is struggling this season. LeBron might have started to play at an MVP level recently but it doesn’t help much to the team as they are already at 15-13 this season. Comparably the difference between these two teams is quite big where the stats are favoring the Warriors more. And this difference might change the way people look at LeBron and Stephen Curry.

Stephen A. said “As great as LeBron James is — and he’s a legend, don’t get it wrong; he’s on basketball’s Mount Rushmore for crying out loud — but if Steph Curry and the Warriors win the title this season, Steph will have as many rings as LeBron James. He will also be in the position to win more rings than LeBron James on a Warriors team that’s simply better than the Lakers. And better positioned to compete for championship long term.”

In response to this argument later on 14th of December another video was released where JJ. Redick shared his takes on the same.

“Look, I’m not negating Steph Curry’s impact on the three-point era or how youth basketball is played now. You’re also talking about interest in a human being. LeBron James on Instagram has 104 million followers. Steph Curry has 38 million. LeBron has 17 All-NBA. Steph has 7. LeBron has 4 MVPs, Steph has two. Like in any statistical measure, doesn’t have to be advanced, LeBron James is ahead of Steph. You’re just trying to elicit a response.”

Following Redicks response to Stephen A. fans praised his understanding of LeBron’s Legacy and appreciated his effort to punch back to Stephen A.
