Since Stephen Curry and LeBron James joined together this summer to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, many fans have speculated that they would do the same in the NBA.
The truth is, they were unstoppable on the court, so the prospect of them playing together in the NBA is a nightmare for any possible competitor.
‘People’ asked Curry about his relationship with the four-time NBA MVP, and he didn’t hesitate to answer: “The fact that we actually got to be teammates-not just in any game like an All-Star game or whatever, but in high-stakes basketball with a lot on the line-I think there’s a deepened respect and friendship there. Hopefully, there will be more experiences in the future, whether we’re teammates or not.”

With these words, Curry hints at his desire to play alongside LeBron in the future, which is more than enough to get fans excited.
He also praised LeBron for his incredible physical longevity, making his 39 years look like 25:
“It’s everything that most people don’t get to see. It’s the time on the recovery table, the time in the weight room, day in, day out. That little bit of investment in preparing your body and mind to perform. It’s extremely hard work.”
They both look up to each other
Curry also felt inspired by LeBron’s dedication and believes the feeling was mutual: “I think we motivated each other even more, however much longer we have left playing.”
Some people view Curry’s words as a plea for the Warriors to trade for the LA Lakers legend. However, given the Warriors’ strong start this season-winning 8 of their first 10 games in the Western Conference, it doesn’t seem like they need him right now.
