We can expect the Warriors’ quartet and LeBron James to be contenders for next year’s title as well. Or maybe they can join forces and go for ring number 5 together. That’s what fans have been hoping for since Green’s tweet.
The greatness of Stephen Curry and LeBron
While LeBron James has won 4 championships with 3 different teams, Steph Curry has done so with the team that drafted him. Curry finally won his first Finals MVP which was long overdue. It helped cement his legacy as one of the greatest players of all time. Both of them have achieved everything there is to achieve in the game of basketball.
It was a dream of many NBA fans to watch the two of them together in one team. That dream was finally realized when LeBron James drafted Stephen Curry to his team for the All-Star game in 2021. They teamed up again in the 2022 All-Star game and seeing them play together was delightful.
