LeBron and Steph teamed up for the first time at the Paris Olympics to win gold for Team USA and it was incredible.
But, things used to be very tense between the two over the who was the best player in the world narrative, The Athletic’s Sam Amick recently revealed.
“It was really surreal for me to watch he [Curry] and LeBron specifically just enjoy each other as much as they did (in the Olympics) because we were at all those Finals where — I don’t care what LeBron says now — it’s not a matter of them having animosity towards one another, but they were rivals,” Amick said on 95.7 The Game. “Their camps didn’t always love the way that the other player was talked about.
“LeBron’s people did not love it when people started callin’ Steph the best player in the world, and there was a tension that was real. And then there were on-court moments, right, where LeBron, with his massive size, is kinda bodying Steph and making sure the world sees him as less than and kinda the small, younger guy. That dynamic was real.
“So, to go from that to these guys genuinely clicking and having such a great time together was the kind of thing I never thought I’d see.”
The pair teaming up at the Olympics is probably never going to be repeated, since the next games aren’t until 2028 in Los Angeles.
However, Curry has dropped some cryptic hints about becoming teammates for real with Bron in the future.
“Hopefully, there will be more experiences in the future, even if we’re teammates or not,” Curry said of his Olympics berth with the Lakers great.
