I probably had more understanding due to age and you were probably more deeply involved. Kobe's story touched many people for different reasons. Being a Laker fan is not the biggest one among those reasons and neither is ability to play the game. Those reasons are valid and contribute but the human aspect was a lot more important.

What a ridiculous take. All you have to do is look and see how the game is played. Kids idolized Kobe and now Curry. They all want to play like him. Go to any playground and that's what you will see.
You're a disingenuous LeBron stan so it makes sense as to why you would go to such lengths to discredit the impact Curry has had on the game. Literally no one denies that impact.

It should be obvious to everyone why KB and Chef would be as liked and emulated by kids as opposed to Bran. How is a kid going to go on the basketball court and pretend they're 6'8 with GOAT genetics and passing ability? Ain't no one studying Lebron's footwork or his jump shot or any of his scoring moves for that matter. You might do the tomahawk dunk on a nerf hoop but that's about it.

Re: Most influential player of the 21st century
1. Curry - 3 pt shooting
2. Lebron or Kobe - this is very personal/subjective
3. Curry - for ordinary people - meaning you don't have to be an athletic/size freak

I think Jokic’s game is pretty accessible. If you’re one of the taller guys out there(6’1-6’3 does it on most courts) you can take away a lot from Jokic, and people will like playing with you.

you realize the reason the KD era Warriors were so good is because Steph enhances his teammates so much, right? You also can’t talk about the Warrior’s defense without talking about Steph and Bogut. Most teams can’t run Bogut and Draymond at the same time due to spacing issues, the Warriors can because it’s not about how many shooters you have, it’s how much gravity your shooters have. It’s also what allowed the Warriors to run Draymond and Looney in 22, where Draymond has become completely washed as a shooter and isn’t a good enough rebounder to play center. And if Curry’s presence doesn’t impact defense, it doesn’t make sense the warriors were 25th in drating when Curry was out and 5th the following season when Curry came back.

you mean the more you condense your bones and the more growth you stunt upon yourself, you're more influential
how about just give me players with healthy ligaments protecting their bones.
