Steph Curry admits 'complicated relationship' with LeBron James
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry recently revealed the secrets related to him and LeBron James. Curry explains that his relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers legend is "complicated" due to their age difference and years of rivalry
When I was in school, LeBron came to watch me play. Later, when I entered the NBA, I also received his advice on how to overcome some of the initial difficulties," explained Steph Curry.
"But then we went on to face each other four times in a row in the Finals. Even last year Golden State faced the Lakers again. It was a great guy, a great friend, a great competitor. It's really complicated to say what we are for each other."
James and Curry are countrymen. They were even born at the same hospital in Akron, Ohio. The duo are less than four years apart, and their career paths have had countless crossovers in the more than three decades since.
As Curry mentioned, their relationship at first was like a senior-junior. As a rookie, Curry even went to James's house and watched Family Guy.
But when Golden State Warriors No. 30 became MVP and one of the biggest stars in the world, their relationship became a little more strained.
Curry and James pitted each other in four consecutive Finals series. The Warriors had 3 wins, but Cleveland left a mark with a comeback from a 1-3 lead. Many sources claim that each rivalry between the two Akron children is real.
But when James moved to the Lakers, their relationship eased. They became friendly with each other, even teammates at the All-Star 2021
In the media, James and Curry tend to praise each other, noting their respect for each other. LeBron even stood up for his fellow countryman when he was criticized by former President Donald Trump on Twitter.
LeBron James and Steph Curry together forged a memorable decade in basketball, and their rivalry led to one of the NBA's most memorable eras. Even so, when it's all over, the duo always have mutual respect and admiration for what the other has achieved.
