Fans all around the world are excited for the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. The highly anticipated event will see two of the most influential athletes in the league, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, team up one more time to take on the Eastern Conference All-Stars. Bron and Steph were also excited to play alongside each other tonight as they had a wholesome exchange in the locker room ahead of the game.

Both superstars hugged each other in the All-Stars locker room after Bron interrupted Steph while he was clicking a picture. James and Curry’s locker room exchange reminded fans of a crazy coincidence that the two legends are bonded by. “Still crazy how they were born in the same hospital and ended up being NBA legends.” One fan wrote on X. Yes, however unbelievable it may sound, LeBron and Steph were born in the same hospital in Ohio over three years apart. Both NBA legends took their first breath in Summa Akron City Hospital.

Akron is LeBron’s hometown. So, it is not shocking that he was born in a hospital in the same city. Bron, and Curry, both were born in the General Medical Center. Like James, Curry claims Charlotte, North Carolina, to be his hometown. Of course, this is where his father played 10 seasons with the Hornets. Before joining the Hornets in 1988, Dell Curry also played the 1987-88 season for the Cavaliers. It was during this time that he and his wife gave birth to the legendary 3-point shooter.

Both superstars have won the NBA Championship 4 times in their careers. They also share several accolades, including Regular season MVPs, Finals MVP, and multiple All-Star selections.
