NBA fans have been waiting for a lifetime to see LeBron James & Stephen Curry in the same team. But these two guys have been such fierce rivals over the years. They have been the face of the league for over a decade now. Their arch-rivalry started in 2015 when the Golden State Warriors met the LBJ-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. That was just the beginning of the epic rivalry. From 2015 to 2018, the same two teams met in the NBA Finals. Stephen Curry had the last laugh because, under his leadership, the Warriors were able to beat the Cavs three times in the Finals. However, LeBron James led the Cavs to make a historic come back from a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 NBA Finals.
If the Cavaliers had not managed to do the impossible as it seemed at that time, the Dubs could finish with the title of the greatest team of all time. Nonetheless, it is still the 1996 Chicago Bulls as they won the title after enjoying a 72-10 regular season. In 2016, the Warriors had an epic 73-9 record, but could not win the title. That’s because LeBron James inspired the Cavaliers to end the “Cleveland Curse” that year. Since then, the James-Curry rivalry evolved, and both these guys have a lot of respect for each other. Now, the two NBA superstars are getting ready to team up for the Paris Olympics.
Stephen Curry Gave An Honest Response About Teaming Up With LeBron James
It is going to be the first Olympic appearance for Stephen Curry. That’s why he has been so eager and excited for the Paris Olympics. Moreover, fans will get to see LeBron James and the Three-Point King team up for the first time. Lately, on his new podcast, Heat Check, Steph discussed his feeling about teaming up with the all-time scoring leader. He mentioned that he has heard that the Los Angeles Lakers star is like a “Light-Hearted type of guy.” Moreover, James seems like always want to have fun. Stephen Curry says that he hopes to get that “Not in the NBA, but in a Team USA kind of vibe.” Moreover, the Dubs talisman said that everybody says that James always lifts everyone around him.

Anyway, when Steph’s getting ready for his first Olympics experience, LeBron James is getting ready for his third and quite possibly his last appearance in the Summer games. LBJ has already won a couple of Gold medals in the Olympics. He might win his third Olympic gold medal as Team USA is going to France with a modern-day Dream Team. Fans will be eager to see how the James-Curry rivalry works as teammates. They want to see a good rapport between the modern-day greats and not adversaries. If things go exactly as planned, then the modern-day Dream Team should bring another Olympic Gold.
Elites Of The 2024 Dream Team
After the disaster of the FIBA World Cup, Team USA decided to send a group of elite NBA talents to the Olympics. They can’t afford a disaster in the Summer Games like what happened in the World Cup. That’s why the team with Steve Kerr as head coach has added Stephen Curry to their lineup along with LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
More names like Jayson Tatum who just won the NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics this year will join Curry and James in Team USA for Paris Olympics. Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard will also be going to Paris. With James, Durant and Curry, Team USA expects to have a good locker room atmosphere. It will be essential if they want to reign supreme again in the basketball world.
