The two NBA legends will play on the same team for the first time ever this summer.
As the 2024 Summer Olympics approach in Paris, excitement is building as top athletes from around the world prepare to compete for glory. Among the numerous captivating storylines, one stands out: LeBron James and Stephen Curry will share the court as a team mates first time in their illustrious careers. (Excluding NBA All-Star game)
Despite some discussion, this pairing has not garnered the attention it truly deserves. Two of basketball’s most iconic figures, James and Curry, have always been rivals, but this summer they join forces to represent Team USA. Their synergy and individual brilliance promise to create a dynamic and formidable team, sparking anticipation among fans and analysts alike.
On Friday, the two legends met up as the USA team commenced its preparations for the Olympic competition. Now the latest report say that the duo are really close and spending a lot of time bonding together. This unique partnership adds an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to the Olympics, making it a must-watch event.
LeBron James and Steph Curry meet up before 2024 Paris Olympics
In a moment that fans have long awaited, Stephen Curry was seen chatting with former Golden State Warriors teammate Kevin Durant when LeBron James approached to greet him. With a friendly dap, James initiated the conversation with a playful “about time,” to which Curry enthusiastically responded, “let’s have some fun with it.”
It is indeed surprising that these two legends have never shared the court for Team USA, a consequence of mere timing. Curry’s appearances were at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2014 FIBA World Cup, both of which James missed.
LeBron, on the other hand, has been a staple in the Olympic basketball scene, participating in the 2004, 2008, and 2012 games. This summer, these basketball icons will finally join forces, supported by other current stars like Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, and Devin Booker. Together, they form a powerhouse team and are the favorites to bring home the gold, adding yet another thrilling chapter to their storied careers.
