Steph Curry Releases Statement On LeBron James, Lakers Ahead Of The New Season

The Los Angeles Lakers are considered favorites for the season. They have LeBron Jams, and Anthony Davis is part of the roster, too. Warriors Steph Curry talked about the new-look Lakers and their power for the upcoming season.

“I mean they’re tough,” he said, via Sam Amick of The Athletic. “You start with LeBron and AD. Those are two guys who demand your attention every possession, and I think they showed (on Wednesday night) a little bit how they can work in tandem, putting pressure on that three or four spot, with either JaVale (McGee) or Dwight (Howard) leading up, and LeBron having two lob threats. And they’ve got some shooting around them, perimeter defense. They’re good. It’s going to take a lot to beat them. You can tell when a team truly believes that a team is good, but they still have to go out and prove it. They have that vibe over there, like they know that they’re talented but I think there’s an edge to them.”

When asked about LeBro James and his mentality for the upcoming season, Curry showed confidence that the Lakers can play a really big game in the upcoming season.

“There’s no reason why they shouldn’t be successful, whether it’s winning the championship or whatever it is,” Curry explained. “But in terms of (pauses)… You don’t get to – and I would put myself in that category – but you don’t get to be a guy like LeBron and need any extra type of (motivation at this stage). Like, I’m sure he came in last year with the same optimism, motivation and edge. This year there’s just a little more hoopla around the team because of who they have on the squad. And like I said, the five months of waiting to get back out on the floor when you’re used to playing in June vs. coming out in April and having this amount of time to get ready, I mean there’s probably going to be a different look in your eye, in that respect. But we all love the game and there’s a sense of urgency (later in your career) for sure.”
