ESPN’s Lead NBA Producer Wants LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Chris Paul To Join Network One Day

During an interview with Andrew Marchand, ESPN’s lead NBA producer Tim Corrigan said he wants LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul to join the network one day. 

James (40), Curry (37) and Paul (40) will retire from the NBA soon. 

“We’re hopeful,” Corrigan said. “You talk about those two guys, besides their insane physical gifts and talents and all the work they’ve done, their basketball minds, we would all benefit from more exposure to that. Right?

“And I would say somebody like a Chris Paul, who did a little bit with us last year, coming in and jumping in the studio and doing all that. Just to spend the time, to see how they see the game and feel the game. And recognize, there’s so many stories about LeBron knowing the call the other team’s making and telling his guys on the court, ‘Here’s what they’re going to do’ based on who’s coming on the court.

“We would all benefit from that in live events and things like that. To have the mind of people who think that way and see that way.”

James, Curry and Paul are three of the best players in NBA history.

James is the leading scorer in NBA history, Curry has made the most 3s ever and Paul is second all-time in assists. 

James and Curry are still elite players despite being old. They made the All-NBA Second Team this year. 

James has a player option to return to the Los Angeles Lakers next season, while Curry has two years left on his contract with the Golden State Warriors. 

Paul becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He’s not expected to re-sign with the San Antonio Spurs.
