Stephen Curry opens up about possibly teaming up with LeBron James, which was once a ‘pipe dream’

For four consecutive years, Stephen Curry and LeBron James tried to win an NBA championship against one another — but soon, they might try to win one together.

The two faces of this generation’s NBA faced off against each other in the NBA Finals each year from 2015 to 2018, with Curry winning three and James winning one.

What became a de facto annual series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors grew into one of the greatest on-court rivalries in the history of basketball.

But after they teamed up for an Olympic gold medal in Paris, what was once an irrational thought turned into a reality, and suddenly Curry’s Golden State Warriors found themselves among the favorites to land James after he announced he’d be leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.

“If LeBron says he wants to play for you, you move mountains to get him,” Curry told reporters at his American Century Championship media availability on Thursday.

Curry all but confirmed the Warriors are in the “mix” of suitors for the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, a scenario Curry can hardly believe.

“I mean, up until probably two, three years ago, it was like a pipe dream question or even a thought, but that is a part of the allure,” Curry said when asked by Fox News Digital about the possibility of playing alongside James after once being his public enemy No. 1.

“For him going into his 24th season, me going to my 18th, the battles that we had, that would be such a unique story in NBA history, sports history. But a little premature right now to talk about it other than that.”

After James and the Cavs completed the first-ever 3-1 comeback in NBA Finals history in 2016, the Warriors signed Kevin Durant, and they won the next two titles as James’ surrounding talent diminished.

James then went to the Lakers where he won his fourth title in 2020, but his tenure there is up after nine seasons.

The Warriors appear to be on the outside looking in at the LeBron sweepstakes after being an early favorite, but reports have said James is going to make his decision based simply on his own happiness, money aside.
