Last Saturday, LeBron James and Stephen Curry met during a match won by the Warriors against the Lakers (128-121). At the same time, a former manager of the Dubs made a comment which generated strong reactions on the web.
The rivalry between LeBron James and Stephen Curry is one of the most memorable of the modern era of the NBA. Quadruple champions, the two men regularly crossed paths in the Finals and always put on a huge show during these clashes. Their duel last Saturday represented their 50th in the league, and it was the Warriors who defeated the Lakers (128-121).
But before hostilities are (re)launched, ESPN specialists gathered on the floor of the Crypto.com Arena to discuss the careers of the two superstars. Among them, Bob Myers, the former general manager of Golden State considered one of the main architects of the franchise dynasty. The opportunity for him to reveal the incredible scenario that he would have liked to see materialize with LeBron and Steph.
The hypothetical LeBron-Curry duo is back on track
I wish LeBron and Curry were on the same team for even just one season. They complement each other perfectly. Forget the fact that they are megastars and the most popular players in the NBA. LeBron would play the point-forward role and is one of the best passers of all time, and Curry would move without the ball… Unfortunately, we probably won’t get to see that.

Words that are echoed in one of the craziest pieces of information reported on the sidelines of the last trade deadline. The Warriors then tried to set up a trade to attract James without succeeding. However, for some Internet users, they might not have given up on this project and are using Myers to keep this discussion alive and indirectly convince LBJ to change tune:
It’s tampering😭😭😭
I see he’s still working as GM of the Warriors.
By expressing on ESPN his desire to see LeBron James and Stephen Curry teammates, Bob Myers gave rise to a lot of wild theories on this hypothesis. It remains to be seen whether these will be verified next summer and see the Warriors try their luck again.
