LeBron James and Steph Curry were constantly in the NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018, where the Golden State Warriors leader celebrated 3 championships, while LeBron's Cleveland Cavaliers won the only one in 2016.

The King who saw the Los Angeles Lakers eliminated from the play-in tournament in one of the biggest failures in NBA history, adored Curry, showing how much he wants to become his teammate at some point.

"Bronny is No. 1 on the list I want to play with. Steph Curry is the other one I definitely want to play with in today's NBA.

"When Steph gets out of his car, you better guard him right from the moment he pulls up to the arena. Soon as he gets out of his car, you better guard his ass. You might want to guard him when he gets out of the bed," LeBron said initially.

For his part, Curry replied ironically:"He chose me in the last two All-Star Games. I do not know if that counts, but I'm fine now."

With three games left in the NBA regular season, the Lakers (31-48) are already eliminated from playoff contention, while the Warriors (50-29) are third in the Western Conference and are potential contenders for the ring.

This season, 37 years-old LeBron James has averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 56 games, while 34 years-old Curry scored 25.8 points, dished 6.4 assists, and grabbed 5.2 boards over 59 duels.
