SUMMARY
- LeBron James had an interesting reaction to Stephen Curry's shooting at the ASG.
- Fans believe it is only a matter of time before the former rivals unite on the same team.
After watching LeBron James‘ behavior at the 2024 NBA All-Star game, fans remain convinced that a move to the Golden State Warriors is not out of the question and shouldn’t be dismissed. As the basketball community should certainly be aware, King James is currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and will be in the final year of his contract next season.
LeBron’s contract includes a player option, which means he can leave at the end of this season and join whichever team he prefers to be a part of. Although the Lakers star has faced off against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors several times in the past, he has always spoken highly of the greatest shooter of all time.
LeBron James had an unexpected reaction to Steph Curry’s shooting at the All-Star Game
Fans who have been watching LeBron in action over the years can agree that he is quite a calm and composed player when compared to other stars in the NBA. However, LeBron could not hold back his excitement and made a series of sounds after Steph Curry knocked down a shot for Team West in the 2024 All-Star Game.
After hearing LeBron at a seeming loss for words when witnessing the shooting abilities of Stephen Curry, “Bang Bang. Ha Ha. Yaap Yaa,.” fans opined that this was a sign that he is seriously considering shifting teams and joining the Golden State Warriors.

While one could argue that this is nothing more than Warriors fans concocting their own theories, it has also urged the NBA world to reconsider the possibility of LeBron James playing alongside Steph Curry.
Fans are conflicted about King James’ future alongside Curry
Although some keen-eyed fans instantly noticed that this theory of LeBron playing alongside Steph had no basis, some wishfully hoped that this theory would come to fruition. After all, James and Curry are approaching the backend of their respective careers and the chances of winning another NBA title alone is quite unlikely. But having a knockdown shooter like Steph on the court with Bron would make things much easier for them.
Bro I get the said he wants to play with Steph but he’s not going to the warriors, that would look so bad on him and he knows that 💯he’s a laker

You realize Lebron lost 2 different finals because his teammates couldn’t make wide open 3’s when Lebron got double teamed.. Steph is not missing a open 3 pointer.. Lebron with Steph would be cheating.. that’s too easy

As it goes with all debates, some fans liked the idea of the two former rivals playing on the same team. Others dismissed the theories and claimed that it would never happen. In any case, the success of the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors this season will shed more light on the likelihood of LeBron leaving his team to play alongside Steph.
