A few months ago, LeBron James and Stephen Curry joined hands for a common cause. It was a blockbuster hit when the duo helped Team USA clinch the Gold medal at the Paris Olympics. At that time, fans wondered whether they would ever witness this team up again. Fast forward to now, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has a similar concern ahead of the Christmas Day match-up against the Golden State Warriors.

There are plenty of interesting match-ups in this season. But one of them always unites the entire NBA world. It’s the Steph-Bron battle. Thanks to their mid-2010s rivalry. And, a Christmas Day match-up can’t get away without their presence. They have met a few times on the X-Mas Day match-ups, the notable one being the 2016 outing which the Cavs won by one point.

Amid this exciting history, LeBron James addressed the press ahead of the game and had a candid response. It was a post-game interview straight after he lost against the Pistons. The reporter pointed out the uncertain number of Christmas match-ups the duo will have in the future and asked how much Bron valued facing Stephen Curry. More importantly, the imposing retirement question is also staring at his face. The superstar candidly said, “Always. Anytime you give an opportunity to be on a court and compete against one of the greats that played this game and you know, you don’t take it for granted.”

Moreover, King James also addressed the uncertain future and said, “Like you said, don’t know how many more opportunities you going get to go against each other, so it’s always fun.” We know for a fact that it would be more than just “fun”, considering the legacy that the duo brings into the game. Importantly, both teams are coming off a disappointing loss in their home games. So, it’s also an interesting game to watch from a regular season perspective.

Will Stephen Curry light up against LeBron James?

Stephen Curry had a frustrating outing on Monday, struggling to make buckets. The superstar managed to score only 10 points with a 2-13 FG. We could also say that the superstar’s rusty outing cost the game for the Warriors against the hot Pacers. So, going by the superstar’s theory of comeback, there’s always a rise after a fall. Will Stephen light up the sky against the Lakers tomorrow? We will have to wait.

However, LeBron James seemed to be prepared for it. A reporter asked how does he feel when Curry goes off on the floor. Bron simply said, “That depends on what side I’m on. I love to see it. This past summer with Team USA and it was a great feeling. I’ve seen on the other side, is not so good feeling.”

During the Gold medal game against the French team, Stephen Curry single-handedly took the game away at the end, dropping four three-pointers in a row, silencing the France supporters. It was so epic that even LeBron James pulled out the Night Night celebration. Will we witness something like that on Wednesday? Let us know in the comments.
