LeBron James predicted Stephen Curry’s NBA success after watching him in March Insanity

LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry has been the matchup that has outlined the NBA of the late 2010s. Their battles within the NBA Finals harbor a few of the best moments in NBA historical past, and boast the best comeback in Finals historical past.

The 2 sq. off once more within the 2023 NBA Playoffs as James’ Lakers face Curry’s Warriors, and earlier than Recreation 2 of the collection, NBA Historical past posted a video of James speaking about Curry after watching him play at Davidson.

There are some things that I feel are very attention-grabbing about this video. The primary one is the longevity of LeBron James. It’s nonetheless form of wild to me that we’ve got video of him discussing gamers that not solely are actually on the high of the league, however gamers he’s been in battles towards for such a very long time. Steph Curry is in his 14th season within the NBA, but we’ve got video of James speaking about how Steph goes to be an ideal participant within the NBA whereas he was at Davidson. It might be like if Tom Brady was recorded on video saying Patrick Mahomes could be nice within the NFL, however whereas Mahomes was at Texas Tech.

The following factor is: that is laborious for me to consider that LeBron truly believed this, as a result of as Twitter already is aware of, LeBron is a hilarious liar. This previous yr, he dropped a bit fib about listening to Migos in 2010, however Migos didn’t launch any music till 2011. Everyone knows about James saying that he knew Kobe was going to attain 81 factors, one other presumably hilarious lie.

LeBron is an extremely sensible basketball participant so perhaps his expertise analysis is definitely at such a excessive stage that he would predict Stephen Curry being good, it wouldn’t shock me.

However on the opposite aspect of this, he did solely predict that Curry could be “good”. This isn’t such a significant LeBron assure as a result of it looks as if a number of NBA groups additionally thought so. Curry was the seventh total decide within the NBA Draft, so getting a superb participant from that spot wouldn’t be probably the most insane factor ever.

No matter whether or not LeBron was telling the reality or not, the video of him speaking about Curry whereas he was enjoying at Davidson is extraordinarily cool, contemplating each battle they’ve been in on the NBA stage.
