LeBron James and Stephen Curry, both NBA veterans, have praised each other at times.
James said Curry’s off-ball moves make Golden State tough to defend.
On the “Mind the Game” podcast with J.J. Redick, James said guarding Curry and the Warriors is hard.
"The ball is not the problem with Steph Curry. He's the f*cking problem. Steph is most dangerous when he doesn't have the ball… guarding Steph is uncomfortable."

“The ball is not the problem with Steph Curry. He’s the f–king problem. Steph is most dangerous when he doesn’t have the ball.
It’s not many guys in our league that’s most dangerous without the ball… Guarding Steph is uncomfortable.”
On Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
Point guard Steph Curry scored 23 points, making all six of his three-point attempts.
His presence on the court created opportunities for his teammates.
The Warriors had some strong performances, including from Draymond Green, who made his first five three-pointers.
This win puts the Warriors in a good position in the Western Conference standings.
