"Inside the NBA" TNT commentator Kenny Smith came out with a spicy take on the whole Steph Curry vs. LeBron James debate shortly before the Warriors-Lakers play-in match on Wednesday.
“As great as LeBron is,” he recently said, “the best player on the planet today, as of right now, is Stephen Curry.”
From a pure numbers standpoint, he may not be fully wrong if we take him at face value — LeBron James averaged just over 22 points, 7 assists and 5 boards in the three games he played in May, while Steph is putting up 34 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds over seven games in May.
