LeBron James and JJ Redick have launched their own podcast called Mind The Game. In the first episode, James discussed the influential players in recent NBA history, citing Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson. Veteran NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith respectfully disagreed, naming Michael Jordan and LeBron James as more influential figures. Other analysts like Steve Kerr and Gilbert Arenas have supported James’ view on Curry’s impact on the game. The debate continues over who truly are the most influential players in the NBA.
