Stephen Curry-“LeBron James called me the King of Basketball”
Stephen Curry and LeBron James are unarguably one of the competitive rivals in the NBA right now but that doesn’t mean there is a feeling of animosity between the superstars. Both Curry and James share a bond of respect and have been continuously seen to praise each other. Whether it is Curry commending LeBron for proving that age is just a number or it is LeBron praising Stephen’s unmatched talent as a Point guard. Either way, the fans are blessed to witness them compete on the court.
It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that both the players have changed the dynamics of the game but in their own way.
In a recent interview, Stephen Curry disclosed how he has still kept the jersey that was signed by LeBron James during his sophomore year in college. The latter would often show up to watch the games and was very impressed with Curry.
Stephen recited the whole incident, “I actually still have the jersey he gave me. He signed a jersey for me. I think that was November of my junior year. On my wall at my parents’ house in Charlotte, it’s still there. And he wrote it to me, called me the king of basketball in North Carolina. So I guess it’s like the corny idols-become-rivals thing.”
The world has its way, that skinny kid from Davidson College went on to become one of the biggest rivals of LeBron James in the NBA, and has bagged three NBA champions and 2 MVPs. Stephen Curry is the epitome of hard work and natural talent that has been nurtured with intense practice.
