LeBron James once unexpectedly targetted Steph Curry in a Lakers-Warriors battle. Find out the drama!
In May 2023, LeBron James did something that caught everyone’s attention.
It happened during a tense playoff game between the Lakers and Warriors in May 2023.
It was Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, a close game with the score tied at 41-41.
Curry, coming off a record-breaking performance, was subbed out.
LeBron, instead of getting back on defense, escorted Curry all the way to the Warriors’ bench.
Throughout the walk, LeBron talked to Curry, who did not engage, shaking his head and chewing on his mouthguard.
James even lingered by the bench after Curry sat down, continuing to chat before rejoining the game.
While it looked like LeBron was being super intense about guarding Curry, it turned out to be a playful tactic.
After the game, Curry explained it was just LeBron joking around, reminding him he had to guard him “all the way to the bench.”
Long-standing Friendly Rivalry Between LeBron James and Stephen Curry
