The NBA All-Star match was a wild ride yet again as the game went down to the wire. It was a great display of basketball as both Team LeBron and Team Durant turned the competition head-on. However, over the past few All-Star games, the friendship between Stephen Curry and LeBron James has grown significantly. Hence, after the King congratulated Steph on his historic night, fans were left ecstatic.
The relationship between Curry and LeBron started way back when Steph was playing for Davidson college. Reportedly, LeBron would often watch his games, as the young guard didn’t disappoint. Things remained the same when Curry made it to the league. However, when both the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers went back and forth during the NBA finals, they became bitter rivals.

And for James, he called the game as he hit the game-winning fadeaway on his return to Cleveland. Team LeBron took yet another win as the King remained unbeaten as a captain.
After the game, Steph shared his appreciation to Cleveland for the experience as he took the Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP home. Likewise, LeBron James also congratulated him and was in awe of his performance. This exchange between them left the fans drooling.
Alright, time for you two to team up.

The duo has been together in All-Star teams a couple of times now. That has become the main reason for their bond to really develop through the years. Over the last couple of years, James made sure to draft the three-point king into his team and the two All-Stars gave fans truckloads of entertainment on the floor. After years of going at one another, it is great to see them back on good terms, as their respect turns into a close friendship.
However, now that the weekend has come to an end, both stars will head back to their quest to win the championship.

With the Warriors in a comfortable spot, Stephen Curry will look to put on the finishing touches and get ready for the playoffs,
