LeBron James and Stephen Curry shared the court for the first time in an official competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games The top stars of the current NBA won Olympic gold in Europe, and both were key to the victory. This has had the consequence that their eternal rivalry that has been going on since the 2015 finals is fading further.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry are becoming less and less rivals
It was in the recent All-Star games that we saw, in the best league in the world in recent years, a blossoming of friendship that binds the two most dominant of the decade. And this gold medal in the Olympic tournament is the point of no return to create a friendship and a relationship that will perhaps allow us to see them together on a court again.
The King, LeBron James, referred to Steph after becoming the champion in Paris: “I always admired his talent from the other side of the court, but having him as a teammate was a revelation. His ability to read the game and execute with astonishing precision”.
Stephen Curry didn’t flinch in the face of the Olympic MVP’s praise and responded with renewed praise for James: “We’ve had our battles in the NBA, but joining forces at the Games is something special. We pushed one’ t one to be better and that will show in the result.”
In the tournament, the connection between the two players was seen. Not only did King and Chef lead the United States in points and assists, but they also exemplified leadership and teamwork that inspired their teammates. Even the biggest rivalry recently could come together to give the team a resounding victory. They didn’t lose any match and besides, they beat good candidates to go for the gold based on good basketball and high ranking individual performances.
