Overview
- On the latest episode of Mind the Game with Stephen Curry and cohost Steve Nash, James compared Curry’s varied scoring avenues to Ohtani’s rare two-way dominance.
- James detailed how Curry punishes defenses in semi-transition, high pick-and-roll, and off-ball actions, noting, “If your pickup point is too low—bang… if you cover me well, I’m getting off the ball.”
- He used a hypothetical NLCS scenario of a pitcher striking out double digits and hitting multiple home runs to illustrate Curry’s ability to attack from multiple dimensions.
- James called Curry the greatest shooter of all time and “one of the greatest threats in NBA history,” emphasizing his willingness to relinquish the ball so movement can create the next opening.
- Coverage noted Curry’s sustained efficiency at age 37 with league-leading three-point volume and career metrics that support his gravity, even as Golden State’s form has been inconsistent and he recently returned from an illness absence.
