The 2024 Summer Olympics are only a few weeks away from getting started in Paris. Stars in all kinds of different sports will be traveling to France to try to win medals for their home countries.
Although it’s been talked about a bit, an underrated storyline throughout the Olympics will be two of the best players in basketball history playing on the same team for the first time in their careers: LeBron James and Stephen Curry. On Friday, the two met up as the USA team starts getting ready for action.
LeBron James and Steph Curry meet up before 2024 Paris Olympics
Thank you for watching
Curry was talking to former Golden State Warriors teammate Kevin Durant when LeBron came up to Curry to dap him up. James opened the conversation up with “about time”, to which Curry responded “let’s have some fun with it”.
It’s surprising that they’ve never been on the same USA squad, but it was simply a matter of bad timing. Curry played at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2014 FIBA World Cup, both of which James missed.
As for LeBron, he was part of the Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 and 2012. The two basketball icons will be joined by other current stars like Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker and more. They are the favorites to take home the gold.
