Steph Curry had LeBron James and fans on social media laughing leading up to Team USA’s final group play matchup against Puerto Rico on August 3.
In a now-viral video captured by a fan, Curry stopped briefly to mimic an awkward basketball shot shortly after walking off the Team USA bus. James, trailing not far behind Curry, shared a good laugh with the Golden State Warriors star.
Naturally, the quirky moment had basketball fans speculating whether Curry was potentially poking fun at a Team USA teammate.
Many names were floated in the comments, but three frequently rose above the rest: Tyrese Haliburton, Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum.
Whose jumper do you think Steph and LeBron are trolling? 😅

“Lmao Hali walking right behind them 😭” one top commenter wrote.
Another chimed in, “Damn Hali can’t catch a break..He already getting 0 minutes”
“Gotta be Embiid lmfaooo😭😭😭 oh to be walking next to LeBron laughing my a** off rn, I’d give anything” another fan wrote.
“Tatum, Embiid or Haliburton. They all fit the mold,” said another X user.
While Curry, 36, is a two-time world champion, Paris represents his first Olympic games in 15 years of professional basketball. DraftKings Sportsbook has Team USA (-500) as the favorite to take home the gold medal, ahead of Canada (-1,100) and France (-1,200).
