“Light Skin F**cker Came Into the League”: LeBron James on Stephen Curry Changing 1 Big NBA Tradition Like Pat Mahomes..

LA star LeBron James  and former NBA sharpshooter JJ Redick are set to change the talk show game with their new podcast, ‘Mind the Game.’ Unlike typical talk shows that focus on subjective debates, this podcast offers diehard basketball fans pure, intricate conversations about players and games. Airing their first episode today, hosts James and Reddick dived directly to a simple question, “What makes a great basketball player?” As they explored the subject of influence in the NBA, they placed the spotlight on Stephen Curry and Allen Iverson as game-changers. Reddick mentioned, “With the three-ball, we’ve seen it so often now, no lead is really safe.”

What caught most viewers’ attention was the 3-point revolution that Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors pioneered in the early 2010s. The 39-year-old remembered the time when he entered the league and said, “… I played no minutes my first two years. But you know, what if we had a 19-point lead going to the fourth, I might get all 12 minutes of garbage time…” LeBron and JJ Redick both agreed that teams would clear their benches 15 years ago if they were leading the game by double-digit points. However, that can’t happen in the modern NBA.

King James provided the reason as to why that can’t happen today. James said, “I believe in 08/09, whenever that little light-skinned f*cker came in the league. He changed that whole narrative. He single-handedly changed the no lead is safe. It’s like Pat Mahomes right now.”  The Chiefs QB at 28 is already inching toward the record set by Tom Brady. Mahomes now has 3 Super Bowls, 2 league MVPs, 3 Super Bowl MVPs, and 6 Pro Bowl honorees in just 7 NFL seasons.
