NBA (DR)
Many Team USA fans are now dreaming of a partnership between Stephen Curry and LeBron James for the NBA.
We are far from that, even if the King does not hide his happiness to play alongside the leader. Does he have an idea behind his head?
It’s the end of the Olympics for Team USA, or rather the “Avengers” as LeBron James has decided to nickname this team.
Steve Kerr’s men have accomplished their mission by winning gold in Paris, and will be back with their NBA team in a few weeks now to prepare for the next campaign.
Note that some players, like LeBron, might not return before October.
Everything will depend on their physical condition, because the players have given a lot in recent weeks to prepare.
Not easy for a 39-year-old James, while Steph Curry is no longer 20.
Despite everything, this duo shone in these Olympics with a battle for the title of MVP of the tournament. And as is often the case in the end, it was the King who won the bet.
LeBron honest about his basketball with Curry
Enough to give both players ideas for the future? Fans dream of a partnership, for example with the Lakers next season, to the point where even one player got excited .
What is certain is that LeBron enjoyed playing with the Chief in this competition, as he explained to journalists after the victory.
LeBron James on Steph Curry : “You’re just amazed by his talent. Obviously, I’ve seen it before, but on the other side. Having him in your end, you’re just trying to get stops and find him on the other side. Keep getting him the ball.”
Simple tactic on paper but devilishly effective with Curry in your team.
We imagine that it wouldn’t bother the two players, but the timing doesn’t seem to be right.
We doubt very much that the Lakers and the Warriors would agree to negotiate for such a scenario.
LeBron James did not hide his pleasure to play with Steph Curry, for once that the best shooter in history is on his team. A partnership remains possible in the NBA now, although very, very unlikely.
