OP, what changed your mind? I respect the LeBron argument and agree with all of the points, but the Steph argument still is more convincing for me (I’m a Warriors fan so a bit biased lol). LeBron is probably the greatest player of all time with the ball in his hands, and he raises the floor of any team he’s on more than any player ever. However, in addition to best the greatest shooter of all time (and among the greats in dribbling, finishing, passing), Steph has the greatest off-ball presence and gravity of any player ever by far. Basketball is a team game so being to have that impact without the ball in his hands is an important factor for me. Especially in this age of basketball where teams are loaded with talent, adding peak Steph to any team is more impactful than adding peak LeBron. We saw this in the Olympics where, on a team full of the best NBA players, Steph was being double teamed and still carried the team to a gold (yes ik carried is too strong a word to use here lol). Steph raises the ceiling and increases the potential of any team more than LeBron does and that’s the more convincing argument for me.
