Steph Curry or Lebron

No. Steph didn’t do that. GS themselves was one of the teams that went small.

As the league became more and more P&R centric it was only right that bigs would have to become more mobile on defense and floor spacers on offense.

Ok guy

Some of y'all need to remember who actually led this charge. Golden State got attention because they had Steph and Klay. But did other squads say, "Hey, all we need to do is go out and get our out Steph and Klay and run a bunch of off-ball motion and passing!" Nah, no one thought they could do that. Y'all would struggle to name a single team that plays that way.

While teams did their own thing and followed their own (often analytics-driven) strategy that led them to increase threes, if anyone was the leader that had influence it was Houston, not Golden State. The play style everyone complains about is the Houston model, not the Golden State model.

All facts. People still repeat that narrative that GS was "only shooting 3s" when they only led the league in 3 point attempts once all those years (and that's with 3 of the shooters all-time lol). GS game was 3s, mid-ranges and ball movement. Houston didn't really have the latter two elements and we all saw what happened.

What’s the 3pt% though between Houston and GS in those years

Except that Steph isn't responsible for teams jacking 3s. No one thinks they can be Steph and no one tries. (Well, except for maybe Dame.) Steph became the face of it cause he was so good at it but he didn't lead jack shyt in that regard, what other team is playing Golden State's style and what other player mimics Steph's game?

If any team led the 3pt revolution it was Houston, not Golden State. The Rockets consistently shot more threes than the Warriors did and they did it with more regular players. The ball-dominant guards coming in like Trae and Luka play a lot more like Harden than like Steph. But really it was a steady league-wide revolution.


In terms of playing style I don't think LeBron is incredibly influential either, except to the degree that Bron bumping down to 4 and pushing Bosh to 5 helped usher in the small-ball revolution and how he normalized the point-forward role. Both of those things may have come about without him but he was definitely at the forefront and had an impact. The real influence though is that every fukking roster every fukking year was built with beating LeBron in the back of their minds, and every fukking player in the NBA was thinking every single season about whether they had what it takes to beat LeBron or not.
