Considering where the two players ended up, that clip will likely live on for all of NBA history.
Last month, James and Curry were teammates for the first time in their legendary careers when they helped Team USA win the Gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Via Shams Charania of The Athletic on August 10: “Olympic Last Dance together: LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant lead USA to Gold – completing commitment they made to each other, Team USA and the country exactly one year ago.”
Despite still being two of the best 15 players in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, while the Golden State Warriors did not qualify for the postseason.
