LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of the 21st Century.
But is he the most influential?
LeBron doesn’t think so.
During the first episode of his new podcast with JJ Redick, he singled Steph Curry and Allen Iverson out as the two guys who changed the game.
JJ Redick: “People would clear their benches with a 17-point lead and 9 minutes to go.”
LeBron James: “Whenever that little light-skinned f*cker came into the league, that’s in Golden State, he changed that whole narrative.” 😂

“Whenever that little light-skinned f*cker came into the league, that’s in Golden State, he changed that whole narrative,” Lebron said. “When it come to influence, since I’ve been watching the game … Steph and Allen Iverson are the two biggest influential guys in our game since I’ve been watching and covering it … they were just so relatable and kids felt like they could be them … they were small in stature and they defied the odds.”
Agree?
