LeBron James Sends A Message To Stephen Curry After His Injury

LeBron James and Stephen Curry are rivals, but the NBA is actually a brotherhood. So, the Lakers star wished Curry a message of support following his injury.

“Speedy and healthy recovery brother!” he wrote.

Curry broke his hand in the third quarter of the game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

“It’s been a tough start for us on many levels, so we’re just trying to find our footing,” head coach Steve Kerr admitted Wednesday. “This puts us in a tough spot. … It’s a great opportunity for these young guys to play, but it’s also a little bit too much. You want to bring along rookies as best you can and we’re just putting so much on their plate, but we have no choice.”

Kerr was the first to defend Curry when others criticized him. Michael Jordan said Curry is a good player, but doesn’t consider him to be a good candidate for the Hall of Fame.

“Apparently, Michael has his own version of the Hall of Fame, I guess,” Kerr said. “That’s all I can think of … Yeah, that was an interesting comment. I just saw it this morning, I didn’t see the context I just read about it, but yeah, my feeling is Michael probably has his own qualifications. We all know Steph would go into the Hall of Fame right now if he were eligible. Michael has a different set of standards. I know he had a different set of standards for us as his teammates, and he probably has the same thing for his own personal Hall of Fame.”

“I think I’m good, but then I’m never complacent.” Curry said of Jordan’s comments. “I know I have more to prove to myself. When you hear a guy like that who’s the greatest of all time, it’s kind of funny. Since we’ve been on this stage, we’ve heard a lot of retired guys chiming in on this generation of basketball player and evaluating talent and saying their generation was better and all that. It’s a great conversation for the fans to get in on. I know I’m in good shape for that, but I still have a lot to prove to myself.”
