“Guarding Steph Is Uncomfortable”- LeBron James DISCUSSES Why It’s CHALLENGING to Guard Stephen Curry
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in a fantastic game on Tuesday night, and their success was due to their joint efforts. As is often the case with Golden State’s attack, Stephen Curry finished with 23 points. His seriousness also helped his teammates’ potential.
During the recent episode of the Mind the Game Podcast, Los Angeles Lakers star player LeBron James was asked about how challenging Stephen Curry is on the court. James said that Curry is the real problem and that guarding him is uncomfortable.
“The ball is not the problem with Stephen Curry. He’s he’s he’s the **** problem. Steph is most dangerous when he doesn’t have the ball, which is not, it’s not many guys all the time in our league that are most dangerous without the ball.
I’ve been in more than enough wars with those guys. More than enough. I understand it. So, I get it. I come from a different point of view, POV. But when Steph decides to cut inside the lane, don’t relax. He’s coming back up.” LeBron James said during the interview.
“He’s coming back up, but you have to have reps and reps and reps and reps of actually guarding something uncomfortable. Guarding Steph is uncomfortable.
The problem with our guys in our league is that they’re not comfortable with being uncomfortable. And that’s why Curry and Golden State will always be relevant because they play an uncomfortable style of play.” James added.
Stephen Curry is one of the best shooters in NBA history
According to James, Curry’s shooting skills are one of the reasons why the Golden State Warriors are so difficult to stop. Curry benefits not only from this, but his teammates also do.
Despite Warrior’s inconsistent play this season outside of Curry, they had some standout performances on Tuesday night, including a five-pointer from Draymond Green. The Warriors’ victory was critical because it established a clear path to eighth or higher in the Western Conference rankings.
