Warriors’ Stephen Curry Discusses Viral Exchange With Lakers’ LeBron James

Stephen Curry and LeBron James had an interesting exchange in the first game of the series between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA fans wanted to know more about this exchange and let’s just say they were pretty surprised after Curry shared a few details.

At one point of the game, Curry was walking to the bench and LeBron followed him. Wonder why? He wanted to make sure Curry gets to the bench without making another shot.

“He was just joking around about having to guard me all the way until I got to the bench,” Curry said.

In 37 minutes of action, Curry delivered 27 points and six rebounds while going 10-of-24 from the field and 6-of-13 from beyond the arc.

Curry had a big exchange with LeBron, didn’t forget to praise AD

Anthony Davis was star of the show. He led the Lakers to a win, scoring 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks. The big man is the first Lakers player to finish a playoff game with these stats since Shaq in 2004. Curry and the Warriors had to find a solution to Davis’ dominance, but it didn’t work.

“For sure. It’s also because of how they’re playing us,” Curry said. “They know they want to take away our threes, even though we got 50 of ’em up. They wanna try to put pressure on the perimeter, funnel everything into the paint and allow him to disrupt a lot and close the space pretty quick. It’s kind of deceiving. You feel like you have a good look to get it over the top and he gets a fingertip on it. So you gotta respect it. Like that’s how he makes an impact on that end of the floor. And you can’t be stubborn thinking you can just keep going in there. You still got to be able to drive and put pressure on the rim, but you can do it in a creative way. So yes, you got to feel it because it’s impactful.”
