Steph Curry, LeBron James Call Out “Old Heads” Who Refuse To Credit New Generation

Steph Curry and LeBron James Criticize Older Players Who Refuse to Acknowledge New Generation

Stephen Curry is making it clear he won’t join the ranks of older NBA players who belittle the current generation. Many former stars, like Isiah Thomas, often claim the game was better in their era. However, in a recent interview with the NBA, Curry, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant expressed that they have nothing but respect for today’s players.

They highlighted young talents such as Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs, emphasizing that they would never adopt a bitter attitude towards younger players.

“We’re not gonna be the bitter old heads coming back hating on the younger generation,” Curry stated. “But definitely have appreciation and admiration for what they’re able to do, too.”

NBA Legend Criticizes Michael Jordan’s ‘Greatest of All Time’ Status

Walt Frazier, a New York Knicks legend, has expressed his doubts about Michael Jordan being universally regarded as the greatest NBA player of all time. In a recent podcast appearance, Frazier suggested that players like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, LeBron James, and Oscar Robertson were more deserving of that title.

Frazier pointed out that while Jordan’s 50-60 point games are frequently highlighted, Chamberlain accomplished similar feats far more often, noting that Chamberlain had recorded such games 100 times compared to Jordan’s 38.

He argued that Robertson was more versatile than Jordan, Chamberlain was more dominant, and Russell was a better winner. Frazier also mentioned James’ career scoring record, further questioning the common perception of Jordan as the GOAT.

“I always say, what’s the criteria?” Frazier said. “If you’re talking about the most dominant, Wilt Chamberlain. The guy has all the records. You’re talking about versatility, Oscar Robertson, a guy who almost averaged a triple-double his whole career. You talk about winning, it’s Bill Russell. The man has 13 championships. Michael Jordan is not the leading scorer in the history of the game. He’s not the winningest player. He’s not the most versatile player. How could you say he’s the greatest?”

While this debate over the greatest player of all time may never be resolved, it continues to spark intriguing discussions with varying opinions.
