Warriors Star Stephen Curry Leads LeBron James in NBA Video Views By a Massive 40%
The relationship status of LeBron James and Stephen Curry is murky. They are two of the most successful, prominent, and well-known basketball players in the previous ten years. Curry transformed the way basketball is played and led a Warriors dynasty to three titles in four years, while James went to eight consecutive finals and established himself as the best ever.
However, the two have always been rivals in the eyes of fans and the media. For the first few years of their careers, LeBron and Steph admired each other’s play from afar, but four years of dueling in the NBA Finals for titles, legacy, and intangible position as the league’s face revealed some underlying tensions.
Most sports enthusiasts jump on the bandwagon to watch a new sport, only to get a taste of success. Whatever genesis tale someone offers you for their fandom, it always boils down to glory hunting in the end. Curry has become the most popular player on NBA social media as a result of this. Basketballnews.com’s Alex Kennedy provided a chart that shows how far ahead of his competitors Warriors star Stephen Curry is.

When it comes to video content engagement, Stephen Curry is clearly ahead of every other NBA player, including Lakers star LeBron James. For the past decade and a half, LeBron James has dominated the realm of NBA player popularity with an iron hand. During his initial stint in Cleveland, the King was the darling of every basketball fan, with everyone pulling for his success.
However, things have changed recently, as his level of success has dropped dramatically. LeBron James has only won one title in the last four years, and that was in his lone Finals appearance.
