NBA (DR)

Although they have long been considered rivals, LeBron James and Stephen Curry have always maintained a strong bond of friendship. This has also given rise to rumors of a reunion, on which the leader of the Warriors has a very specific opinion.

Both natives of Akron, their destinies almost always seemed linked.

Despite very distinct paths, Stephen Curry and LeBron James found themselves in the NBA where they offered fans multiple grandiose battles.

Opponents in the Finals on four occasions, they have since taken part in one of the most legendary rivalries in history, without this pushing them to hate each other.

Steph Curry opens up about reunion fantasy with LeBron JamesAs the Cavaliers and Warriors competed season after season for the title, Curry and James always tried to remain very cordial with each other.

Years later, this respect remains intact and can still be observed in the speech delivered by the leader of Golden State.

In his podcast HeatCheck , the latter praised the merits of his counterpart as a leader:

Stephen Curry: Everyone talks about how good LeBron is at being able to raise the level of those he plays with.

I heard that he is the type to create a good atmosphere, to want to have fun all the time and take on the role of a nice coach in the locker room, but that he is also capable of being more demanding and competitive , like MJ, and to drag his locker room in his wake.

An outstanding troop leader, LeBron would therefore be closer in this respect to a certain Michael Jordan.

In any case, this is the opinion defended by Steph, who could not have paid him a nicer compliment.

This also seems to reflect a real admiration on the part of the Chef, but also a certain desire to verify these rumors for himself.

Something he fully intended to achieve when he made these remarks:

Stephen Curry: Obviously, every player wants to play with excellent teammates and be able to see this kind of talent every night alongside them.

That would be interesting. Maybe it will eventually happen before we stop. Not in the NBA, but in a setting like that of Team USA.

First of all, this simple assumption of a meeting in the ranks of Team USA seems to indicate that this podcast was recorded a few months ago.

That being said, the two legends will indeed have the opportunity to play side by side in the selection during the Paris Olympic Games this summer.

Enough to undoubtedly provoke the joy of Curry, who however refuses to fall into tampering by imagining such a scenario materializing in the NBA.

This, even if his franchise did indeed try to attract LBJ to the Bay on the sidelines of the last trade deadline .

While countless fans dream of seeing LeBron James and Stephen Curry team up, the latter shared this desire in his podcast. All while carefully avoiding being fined by the league for tampering.
