Though the Los Angeles Lakers had stunned the hoops world with a statement Game 3 win against the Golden State Warriors, there has been a talk in NBA circles that superstar LeBron James had traveled during that game. Amid the speculations, LeBron led his side with 27 points to clinch a tough-fought win in Game 4. The LA side now leads the series 3-1. Besides, the blame now seems to have shifted from King James. Rather, it is the Warriors superstar Stephen Curry who is facing the music right now.
Despite Stephen Curry scoring a game-high of 31 points, the Warriors fell against the Lakers for the second straight game on the road. Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard now seems to have rubbed salt into Steph’s wounds, prompting NBA fans to go berserk.

Traveling controversies are not a new affair for LeBron James. Saturday’s Game 3 gave way to another LeBron travel allegation. During the second quarter of the game, the 4x NBA champion scored on Draymond Green with a spin move. However, the Warriors bench stood up in protest and pointed out to the official that James had traveled. The Dubs veteran Andre Iguodala, who was present courtside also approached the official, trying to explain it was a travel. Anyhow, this is a story of the past. Now, Stephen Curry is taunted by the same allegation.
Damian Lillard has failed to partake in the heated playoffs. However, he makes sure not to miss the enticing action. While the Lakers and Warriors were going at it, the Trail Blazers star took to Twitter with a travel allegation. “I know they saw that travel lol,” Lillard tweeted subtly hinting Steph Curry traveled and got away with it.
