Cam thinks LeBron the best player on the Planet and poo. Not Curry, bruhs.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton believes LeBron James is the best basketball player in the world, not noted Panthers fan Stephen Curry.

Newton made the comments on WFNZ’s The Mac Attack show.

Curry’s Warriors entered Thursday leading James’s Cavaliers 2–1 in the NBA Finals, having already defeated LeBron’s Cavs in last year’s championship round. Curry is also the NBA’s reigning MVP, but Newton believes James is still the better player.

“A person asked me, ‘Well, is Steph Curry the best basketball player on the planet?’” Newton said. "I said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Steph Curry is the best basketball player on the best team on the planet.’

“I still think LeBron is [the best player]. He’s 6-7, athletic, can do anything on the court. But LeBron is not on the best team. Going back to what I was saying, the power of team will always be better than the power of skill.”

Newton is also the reigning MVP in his sport. The former Auburn star led the Panthers to a 15–1 record and Super Bowl appearance last season.

Honestly, who cares what Cam thinks about basketball. In a one on one LeBron would crush Steph. And he'll out rebound him and out defend him nearly every game. They play two different positions and couldn't have less similar playing styles. It would be like comparing DeSean Jackson to Gronk. The better question would be which would you rather have on your team. If I could only pick one player I wouldn't pick either of them but if between the two I'd rather have Steph.

Curry is the best shooter. 

I love Curry and GSW but I ain't arguing that. 

this. I would say Curry is the best pure scorer in the NBA as well.

Curry would beat Lebron in a one on one tho.

Bron's the best player in the L with that being said

[WOW!!]

He isn't wrong

And that'd statement would still be false. Curry's the best shooter in the league. But, he doesn't have a better ALL around scoring game than Melo or Durant. All is capitalized because curry's not going to back anyone down and give them 20 from the low block with turn around jumpers,so technically I wouldn't say best pure scorer. Best shooter absolutely.

led the league in scoring this year and I would bet that he is gonna do it again next year. Durant would be my next choice for best scorer. Curry has a very underrated inside game, just because he doesn't back someone down on the post doesn't mean he can't score inside. His FG% within 5 feet was the one of the highest in the NBA last year (if not the highest)
