When you speak of talent in the NBA, two names that instantly come to mind are those of Steph Curry and LeBron James. The duo have always been rivals playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. However, Curry, in an interview with Heat Check, came forward to state that it was his pre-retirement dream to have James on the same team. “Maybe we’ll get that, not in the NBA, maybe on a team USA type vibe,” was what Curry had remarked about, being asked if the two would ever come together. And now, since Curry and James have made it to the Team USA for the Paris Olympics, James posted a story on the social networking platform Instagram that brought to reality Curry’s statement about James.

The Chosen One posted a story in the Team USA workout jersey and was seen enjoying a song by Tems. “Morning workout VIBEZ courtesy of the GREAT Temsbaby,” James had captioned the story. He was seen in a completely fun mood as he enjoyed his workout. And this brought forth a revelation by Curry as James seemed to prove his Team USA teammate right. Curry, in the interview, had stated that James is “He’s the super light-hearted type guy”, and with this workout, James did show his chill side.

Notably, James and Curry haven’t ever played together. They have been contenders in four NBA Finals and have won 8 of the past 12 championships but unfortunately never on the same team. While James played in the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Olympics, he chose to take a rest from the 2016 and 2021 Olympics. Meanwhile, Curry has never been a part of any Olympic team and will make his debut in the quadrennial event this year.

Previously there was news in the market in February that the Warriors wanted to trade James and include them in their squad. This could have meant that Curry and James showed exceptional skills on the same team. A win-win situation for fans and also for basketball. But unfortunately, that didn’t happen as the Lakers denied the deal. Meanwhile, this team for the Olympics is a stunner for sure.

One of the major challenges to Team USA’s dream of bagging the gold medal is battling it out against France. France has found a perfect defensive star in Victor Wembanyama who is improving his game and is difficult to pierce in defense.

It will be interesting to see how James and Curry star in their first team. Furthermore, watching Wembanyama in the Olympics against the USA is surely going to be a thrilling encounter. Hopefully, for the fans team USA will emerge victorious.
