LeBron James is one of the greatest to have played the game of basketball. He has won his team many games with stupendous performances over the years. Many young players have a desire to share the court with James, but it was interesting to know who the great wants to play with. James was asked to pick a few names from today's game who he wants to play with, and James was quick to come up with a couple.
The first named that popped out of James' mouth was Stephen Curry's. On the latest episode of his HBO show, “The Shop,” LeBron James didn’t hesitate once when he was asked which current star around the NBA he’d most want to play within a hypothetical team-up. “In today’s game? S---, there’s some motherf---ers in today’s game, but Steph Curry. Steph Curry is the one that I would want to play with for sure in today’s game... Right now it’s Steph," said James.
He also explained the reason behind his choice. “I love everything about that guy. Lethal. When he gets out of his car you’d better guard him right from the moment he pulls up the arena. As soon as he gets out of his car... You might want to guard him when he gets out of bed," added the Lakers star. He also named Luka Doncic on his wish list of players he would like to team up with. "I swear to God... Listen, there are obviously some other motherf---ers too... Luka cold. Luka a bad motherf---er too.”
I am good: Stephen Curry
As James expressed his desire to team up with Steph Curry, the Golden State player said he is good having already played with James at All-Star game. Although Curry said he feels overwhelmed at this and will love to live in that fantasy world. “That is phenomenal,” said Curry after listening to LeBron James.
“He got his wish, as a captain he’s picked me the last two All-Star games. So I don’t know if that suffices, but I’m good right now," he added. “Whenever you get the interest or curiosity of what it would be like to play with an MVP-caliber dude like he is, and one of the greatest of all time, cool, it’s amazing,” he said. “We all can live in that fantasy world though.”
