For a few weeks this summer, basketball fans witnessed LeBron James and Steph Curry dominate the court during the 2024 Olympic Games Men’s Basketball Tournament. As part of a star-studded Team USA, the duo led their squad to a gold medal victory.
This week, fresh off that Olympic win, Curry added fuel to ongoing rumors about a possible in-season team-up with James. Speaking to *People Magazine*, Curry teased, “Hopefully, there will be more experiences in the future, even if we’re teammates or not.”
Their respective teams, Curry’s Golden State Warriors and James’ former Cleveland Cavaliers, faced off in four consecutive NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018. The Warriors claimed victory in three of those matchups, while the Cavaliers took home one, but in historic fashion.
During those years, the Finals seemed to revolve around Curry and James. Their rivalry, though never bitter, was fiercely competitive, with showdowns either at Oracle Arena in Oakland or Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena (now Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse). Both players, at the peak of their powers, would exchange playful trash talk during these games.
As time passed, the two stars grew to show a deep respect for each other, occasionally hinting at the possibility of playing together one day. This camaraderie, coupled with their rivalry, brought a unique dynamic to their relationship.
Their performance as teammates during the 2024 Olympics in Paris was nothing short of spectacular. Both were instrumental in leading Team USA to gold, showcasing just how formidable they could be together. Seeing two of the NBA’s greatest players collaborate instead of compete was a sight to behold.
Whether Curry and James will ever team up in the NBA remains uncertain, but it’s refreshing to see both players open to the idea. Many competitors maintain their distance until retirement, but these two have transcended that.
Curry is already cemented as arguably the greatest shooter in basketball history, while the debate over LeBron’s place as the greatest of all time (GOAT) continues to rage. What’s clear, though, is that their legacies are firmly in place.
Even if you weren’t in Paris this summer, you could feel the excitement in the basketball world. Their chemistry on the court was undeniable. Regardless of opinions on superteams, it’s hard to argue with the success Curry and James enjoyed together. And if Curry ever considers a move south to Los Angeles, fans shouldn’t be too surprised—there’s always room for one more chapter in their story.
