NBA insider Sam Amick reveals why LeBron James’ camp was upset with Stephen Curry.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
These two players have transformed the way the game of basketball is played and viewed. Even in their relative hoops dotage, the Los Angeles Lakers forward and the Golden State Warriors point guard are still two of the best players in the world. This past summer, they finally joined forces to bring home a gold medal for the USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
These two long-time rivals battled for NBA titles for the last decade. James and Curry did their best to eliminate each other on the court, and there were real debates on who was better than the two.
Many considered James the best, but some believed it was Curry. The Athletic’s Sam Amick appeared on colleague Tim Kawakami’s The TK Show, where Amick indicated that James’ camp was not happy to hear people calling Curry the best player in the world a few years ago.
“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. “Their camps didn’t always love the way that the other player was talked about.
James and Curry met four times in the NBA Finals, with Curry capturing three and James capturing one head-to-head. Overall, they both have four titles, MVPs and All-NBA’s, and are considered some of the best basketball players of all time.
The battles against one another will go down as some of the best in NBA history. They each got the best of each other, and with every few years left in this rivalry, they will be must-see TV.
