LeBron James Compares Stephen Curry's Multi-Threat Offense to Shohei Ohtani on 'Mind the Game'

James used Ohtani’s two-way dominance to explain how Curry pressures defenses from many angles.

Overview

  • James called Curry the greatest shooter of all time and described him as one of the most dangerous players and greatest threats in NBA history.
  • He detailed Curry’s attack options — semi-transition, high pick-and-roll, off-ball movement, curling, cutting, relocating, and sprinting to the corner — punctuating the breakdown with pickup-point and coverage reads.
  • He cited Ohtani’s NLCS performance of three home runs and 10 strikeouts as a metaphor for Curry’s ability to overwhelm opponents through multiple avenues in a single game.
  • Coverage added statistical backing, including Curry’s 42.3% career three-point accuracy on unusually high volume and a peak offensive metric cited as the highest on record.
  • Reporters noted the praise comes during an inconsistent Warriors start as Curry continues elite production after a brief illness, and they framed the comments within James and Curry’s long rivalry that includes four NBA Finals meetings.
