Steph Curry and LeBron James faced off in four NBA Finals and finally got to team up this summer in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
If not for James’ agent, Rich Paul, it’s possible the two era-defining superstars could have teamed up in the NBA, too., Paul was “adamantly opposed to the idea” of James leaving Los Angeles for the Bay Area when the two teams were engaged in preliminary discussions about James’ availability at the ownership level.
