Yang Yi bluntly stated that Curry s influence has surpassed James and is close to Jordan Kobe

In a live broadcast, Yang Yi, a famous commentator in the basketball world, started a conversation with his agent Ren Ran and put forward a point that sparked heated discussion. Yang Yi said directly that Curry's ability to break the circle in this era is the first. His influence has surpassed James, and he has even slowly approached the two legends in the basketball world, Jordan and Kobe.

Yang Yi made an orderly statement in the live broadcast, and he emphasized that the influence is not exactly the same as the player's own level and achievements. Just like Jeremy Lin in the CBA, his level and achievements may not be as good as Ma Shang, but when it comes to influence, Jeremy Lin is unparalleled in China. According to Yang Yi's opinion, Curry's influence cannot be replaced in this era, and he is simply a landmark figure in this era.

Why do you say so? Yang Yi explained that before Curry appeared, who could have expected someone to play basketball like this? The coaches probably couldn't imagine that if they had put it in the past, they would have been taught a lesson by the coach. But Curry relied on his unique style to set off a three-point shooting craze, completely changing basketball. In the NBA, the entire league followed him and began to shoot three-pointers; in the global basketball world, Curry has also influenced at least a generation. Now you go outside and see who are learning to play basketball, who don’t shoot three-pointers outside and still shout Curry’s name?

In contrast, James is great and Paul is great. They are both representatives of traditional playing methods and are the top figures in the basketball field in people's previous cognition. But Curry is different. He created a new way of playing, unique. Looking back at the great artists, thinkers, writers and musicians in history, those who can become symbols of the times and change the appearance of the times are often different from traditions and even a bit unconventional.

Curry is exactly like this. This characteristic allows him to break the circle and spread his influence to various fields.

Now there are many people who didn't watch basketball before. Curry began to understand the sport of basketball, especially many female fans. In the past, they might not know who James was. They even didn't even know how many people on the basketball court played and what walking meant, but they only knew Curry. From this perspective, Curry's influence in breaking the circle is almost up to Jordan and Kobe. These two have improved their basketball achievements and spirit to the sports level, surpassing basketball itself. James seems to be a little short of that in this regard. As soon as Yang Yi's remarks came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions between fans and the media. Some people agree with his opinion, thinking that Curry has indeed changed the basketball landscape and has a great influence; some people think that James is equally powerful and his influence in business and charity should not be underestimated, and it is difficult to compare the two of them simply.

So, why can Curry's influence be praised by Yang Yi so highly? From the inside, Curry's own style is very ornamental and pioneering.

Three-pointer is magical, with a long shooting range and quick shooting. You can make difficult three-pointers at critical moments, and stage a reversal show to give football fans a visual feast. Such a special way of playing not only makes fans excited, but also makes the younger generation of players imitate, setting off a wave of three-point shooting around the world. So you will see that those centers who cannot shoot three-pointers are slowly losing their presence, and Jokic, Towns, Davis, and Embiid will throw three-pointers one after another.

Of course, the development of modern media and social networks has also helped Curry's influence spread. Curry's wonderful performance quickly spread to all over the world through various media platforms. Whether it is exciting goal videos or interesting things about life off the court, fans can quickly know it. Moreover, Curry's sunny and humble image is also particularly popular with the public. Whether it is a basketball fan or a non-basketball fan, he is likely to have a good impression of him. He has no superstar airs and often interacts with fans, which also makes more people happy to pay attention to him and learn about basketball. In addition, Curry endorses many brands, and his personal image appears in various advertisements and activities, further expanding his popularity in the non-basketball field.
