LeBron James talks about defending Steph Curry and Draymond Green while the Golden State Warriors continue their winning streak. Discover how LeBron surpasses Curry in three-point shooting.
Steph Curry has been one of the best in business in the current basketball regime. The Golden State Warriors point guard, who has four NBA championships to his name, is also considered as a top shooter.
However, Curry’s talent is not unseen by LeBron James as well. James has been seen lauding the Ohio-born Warriors star on many occasions.
One such occasion recently surfaced through Bron’s latest off-the-court adventure, which is his ‘Mind The Game’ podcast.
Acknowledging what would be the not-to-go approach while defending two warriors’ top gun, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, LeBron said,
“You have to put two on the ball against Dray and Steph which is the worst thing to do. And it’s a lob every single time,” James said.
