For years, LeBron James ruled the NBA, at least when it came to the regular season.
Then, right at the height of his powers, he met his nemesis: Stephen Curry.
The Golden State Warriors got the best of him and the Cleveland Cavaliers three out of four times in the NBA Finals, with Curry winning four rings.
That’s why, now that they’re both entering the final stretch of their careers, the Warriors tried to pair them and trade for James last season.
Fast forward to today, and they will still get to be teammates, as James and Curry just got together for Team USA’s first practice session ahead of the Summer Olympics.
With that in mind, James talked about how glad he was about finally getting to play for coach Steve Kerr and, more importantly, alongside his point guard (via Warriors on NBC Sports).
“I’m happy to be to be on the same side as him right now, and also happy to be on the same side as his point guard as well.”

James met his match at the worst possible time, and the almighty Warriors stood in his way when it came to potentially tying or even passing both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan in terms of championships won.
Even so, and regardless of how some fans could’ve felt about having them on the same team, it’s nice to see that James didn’t want to team up with his biggest foe and chose to remain as competitors as well.
Now, the rest of the world will have nightmares about those two sharing the court to bring home the gold.
