In the aftermath of the recent Lakers-Warriors clash, Stephen A. Smith and the rest of his ESPN co-hosts discussed the nail-biting game. Given that both teams currently occupy the final two Play-In spots, there is a high chance that only one or neither of them receive the opportunity to compete in the playoffs this season.

Michael Wilbon stated that he and the rest of the league will have to move on from the thought of seeing the Warriors and Lakers in the playoffs. Former Warriors GM Bob Myers agreed with his co-host and stated that he is ok to move on. However, he also expressed his disappointment in not possibly seeing Stephen Curry and LeBron James face off at the ultimate stage again.

“I just want to see them in the….one more playoff series,” said Myers. “Not a play-in.” Malika Andrews continued the conversation by stating, “You want your first one from the media standpoint to be at least getting able to watch these two.”

The rumor that LeBron James could very well have been a part of the Warriors still runs fresh amongst various NBA enthusiasts. From their recent comments, however, the ESPN hosts make it seem as if they don’t want to see an alliance between the two legends. This was surprising since one of them had given a contrasting opinion to the same barely a few hours ago.

Bob Myers wants to see a LeBron James-Stephen Curry team up

Prior to the commencement of the Lakers-Warriors game, the television hosts had engaged in a completely different conversation, as they were predicting the outcome of the game. During the same, Bob Myers proceeded to state his support for a LeBron James-Stephen Curry team-up. While he would love to see a proper series where they face off against each other, he wouldn’t mind seeing them together.

“You know what I wish? I wish we could have seen them on the same team for one season,” said Myers before the clash at the Crypto.com Arena. “You know why? They’re perfect complements to each other.” The former Warriors president and General Manager claimed that his opinion did not stem from the fact that the veterans are the “most popular players in the NBA”. Rather, it was due to the fact that each player’s playing style would work in the other’s favor.

“LeBron is the point forward, one of the best passers ever, and Curry moving off the ball, we’re probably not going to get to see it,” Myers added in the end.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you have loved to see a Curry-James partnership or let them continue as rivals until one of them officially retires? Let us know in the comments down below.
