Stephen Curry or LeBron James, who deserves to be the MVP of the Olympic men's basketball team? The discussion continued, and Stephen A. Smith, known as "Yang Yi of United States", also gave his opinion. He thinks Curry deserves the accolade and thinks James is also doing well and getting loved.
"Stephen Curry stepped up and I can't praise him enough," A. Smith said, "Let me put it this way, James got the MVP, and he was the one who ended up being the MVP of the Olympic men's basketball team. I think Stephen Curry deserves that honor, but no matter what the circumstances, I'm not going to take a bad hold at James for winning this award because he's a great example of consistency in those games. ”
"It's just that when you were doing well against Serbia like Stephen Curry, United States couldn't have won the gold medal if Curry hadn't stepped up, and he saved the game with 36 points. And then in the gold medal game, he scored 24 points, and in the last 2 minutes and 48 seconds, he made 4 three-pointers, what can you say? Seeing (Kevin Durant) pass the ball to Stephen because when his hand is so hot, you know who to give the ball to. Therefore, I think Stephen Curry deserves to be the MVP. ”
However, A-Smith didn't step on one. While he believes Curry deserves to be the MVP, he also continues to praise James' performance. "He (James) still looks better than everybody," A. Smith said, "LeBron James is extraordinary, people love him a lot because he's a leader and he's stepped up throughout the Olympics. I can't say enough about him, and I'm not going to discredit him. ”
In this Olympics, James averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, and Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Previously, another well-known football commentator, Skip, also touched on this topic, but the remarks were more extreme. He said James was a shame to be named the Olympic MVP and that Curry was the player who deserved the award even more. However, as a ball critic who is positioned as "Zhan Hei", it is not surprising that Skip said this.
