Warriors Owner Has a Surprising LeBron James Confession About Stephen Curry

There are many great basketball players in the NBA. However, some of them could do a little better. Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob has something to say about this. He compared Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to his own superstar Stephen Curry. The result? Lacob wants Curry to match LeBron’s rings. Simple as that. He is not even hiding it.

LeBron and Curry have challenged one another on so many occasions. Curry’s Warriors had more success in these “meetings,” but fans will always remember LeBron’s great dominance in the 2016 NBA Finals. His Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a big deficit and beat the Warriors. That was impressive. LeBron got his first ring and Curry went back home with a big L.

LeBron James to challenge Stephen Curry again

These two have played together during All-Star weekends as well. Some even said that Curry should join LeBron in LA. Lacob is not a fan of this scenario. He still wants Curry to win four rings or more.

Lacob appeared in an episode of the 95.7 The Game to talk about several things related to the Warriors and their performance in the regular season. Curry and his teammates had an incredible start of the season.

“I really want to see Steph get into that pantheon,” Lacob said of Curry. “At least equal to him. … [James] is incredible, everyone knows who he is, he’s incredible. He’s got four championships and Michael [Jordan] had six and so on. Steph Curry’s one of the greatest players to ever play in this league. I, personally, would love to see him have as many as any of those guys. Whether it’s one more, two more or three more. So that’s our goal.”

This may seem like a motivation, but some of Curry’s fans won’t really like this. The veteran is doing a wonderful job on the court. He is an excellent leader and All-Star. How will LeBron’s Lakers handle the Warriors this season? That will be the game you don’t want to miss. Hopefully, the Lakers will get some of their injured players back by then.
