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.

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

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)

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
