LeBron James Gives Passionate Take on Stephen Curry

Four-time NBA champion LeBron James has nothing but respect for great players. He has been around for a while and yes, he had a chance to play against some of the best players in the NBA. Stephen Curry is one of them. LeBron and Curry have never played on the same team, but they had a chance to play together in the All-Star game. So, Curry is close to breaking Ray Allen’s NBA record for most three-pointers made. LeBron heart the bit news and he is definitely excited about Curry.

The Warriors legend hit six threes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He needs 10 more threes to break Allen’s record. Curry will undoubtedly break this record and hit a new milestone in his NBA career. How does LeBron feel about this?

“First of all, the fact that the other night, when they played, we were really tracking to see if he could make 16 threes — it just lets you know how freaking amazing he is,” he said. “If there’s one guy in NBA history that can make 16 threes, it’s Steph Curry. I’m literally sitting there doing the calculations in my head. I’m like, ’16. OK, I know he’s made 12 a few times. Well, if there’s someone that can do it, it’ll be him.’ That just lets you know how incredible he is.”

Curry has had a lot of great shots in his career, but LeBron will definitely remember his double-bang slam from 2016.

“Secondly, the one thing that sticks out in my mind…is really that shot he made here (in OKC),” LeBron said. “He pulled up from 38, 39, 40 feet and drained that thing. And obviously, we had so many great battles. He hit so many big-time shots and buckets against us. Obviously, he’s been phenomenal his whole career.”

LeBron praises Curry following each and every great performance

LeBron and Curry played together in the 2021 All-Star game, and the Lakers superstar praised his “teammate.”

“More importantly, just a great dude,” LeBron said. “I wish I could be there to congratulate him. I’ll be one of the guys in our league that will congratulate him socially … Listen, I know Ray, I know the work that he put into it. And if there’s one guy he has to let pass his record, it being Steph, I know Ray is definitely grateful that it would be such a guy like that. Pretty cool accomplishment.”

LeBron didn’t stop here. This one hyped up fans!

“You can’t even jinx it, cause it’s gonna happen. It may not happen tomorrow … But it’s gonna happen. We’re all witnesses to what Steph Curry has done in his career and the way that he’s changed the game. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime basketball player.”

Curry is building great career, and LeBron is here trying to hit his own milestone. He is building great chemistry with his new teammates and hopefully, the Lakers will improve their record in the near future.
