Steve Kerr Says Stephen Curry Changed the NBA More Than LeBron James

His view carries weight given he has coached both stars, including work with James on the U.S. Olympic team.

Overview

  • Speaking on 95.7 The Game’s Willard & Dibs, Kerr said Curry has altered the sport most through shooting, stating, “I don’t know that LeBron has changed the game as much as Steph.”
  • Kerr emphasized deep respect for James, calling his athleticism unparalleled and saying he took the mantle from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan with next-level versatility.
  • Yahoo Sports reported Kerr’s broader context, including his admiration from coaching James and his long-running role guiding Curry in Golden State.
  • Clips shared by @WillardAndDibs, @957thegame, and Legion Hoops circulated widely, drawing fresh rounds of discussion over the two stars’ legacies.
  • Online reactions highlighted a common counterpoint that Curry’s style is easier to emulate while James’ positionless, all-court impact is rarer, with some critics also faulting the league’s three-point heavy trend.
