LeBron James and Stephen Curry were the two most prominent stars of 2010s basketball. Both players won 3 championships during that decade. They are currently tied in the number of total championships, with LeBron James winning one in 2020 and Stephen Curry winning one in 2022.
Naturally, with the two players being dominant at the same time, there has been some debate about which of them is the better player. While most people would consider LeBron James to have had the better career, some believe that the gap between him and Stephen Curry is getting smaller, especially since Stephen Curry just won his fourth championship.
Twitter page NBA Memes has recently posted a Tweet asking whether there is anything Stephen Curry could do to pass LeBron James on the all-time list. Many people responded to the query, with there being a number of opinions present on the matter.

It is clear that opinions were divided on this matter, with fans of both players presenting their arguments. Of course, opinions on where players rank on all-time lists are subjective. However, there are certain scenarios where Stephen Curry can end up boosting his standings, perhaps even surpassing LeBron James among the public. The scenario in which Curry ends up better than James likely involves him winning another championship and Finals MVP, along with some regular season MVPs.
Stephen Curry and LeBron James both have had a huge impact on the game of basketball, and we’ll see if either player can win more championships before the end of their career. There’s no doubt that both players are still producing at a high level, and the Warriors in particular look like they are in a good position to repeat and win another championship. Hopefully, we see both players contending soon, and it’d be fun to see them face off against one another in a playoff series once again.
