Curry: Looking at the NBA, only three players have global influence and are not among them.

Curry recently talked about a very interesting topic, saying that there are actually three people who are really popular in the NBA: Jordan, Kobe and Iverson. This sentence caused a lot of controversy, but when you think about it carefully, it's really nothing wrong.

Let's talk about Jordan first, this guy is simply the "Thanos" in the basketball world. At that time in the 1990s, many people around the world didn’t even know what the NBA was. But when they saw Jordan playing, he saw that he was playing - good guy, how could this black guy fly in the sky? It directly brought basketball into a global sport. Now you ask the roadside man, he may not know who Curry is, but he has definitely heard of Jordan.

Kobe is even more amazing, and he has gained 6 billion fans by relying on "Los Angeles at 4 a.m.". Whether you say he is paranoid or he is serious, but his ruthlessness is really convincing. How many children have begun to believe that "working hard can really defeat talent", who can't shout "Mamba spirit" nowadays?

Iverson's data may not be as good as the first two, but what he represents is more heart-wrenching. A 1.83-meter-old figure, full of tattoos and a ridge-ditch hairstyle, is a perfect example of a counterattack that emerges from the slums. How many black kids back then could still play in the NBA because he believed that even if they were not as tall as Jordan and O'Neal's body.

Now some fans love to compete, but in fact there is no need. Jordan is like a peerless master in martial arts novels, Kobe is like a martial arts tycoon who practices secrets, and Iverson is the genius who specializes in breaking routines. As for Curry himself? He directly changed basketball from "focusing on muscles" to "compare who can throw it accurately". Isn't this influence great enough?
