‘Once-in-a-lifetime basketball player’.

This is how LeBron James described Steph Curry, his opponent in many battles who is now one step away from overcoming Ray Allen as the most prolific three-point shooter in NBA history.

I wish I could be there to congratulate him,” James told reporters after Friday’s win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. “I’ll be one of the guys in our league that will congratulate him socially.  … Listen, I know Ray, I know the work that he put into it. And if there’s one guy he has to let pass his record, it being Steph, I know Ray is definitely grateful that it would be such a guy like that. Pretty cool accomplishment.”

James continued: “We’re all witnesses to what Steph Curry has done in his career and the way that he’s changed the game. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime basketball player.”
