Steph Curry sat down with Draymond Green, his Golden State Warriors teammate, on the most recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, to discuss his feelings about playing with LeBron James.
On his show The Shop last week, James identified Curry as the NBA player he would most like to play with right now. Curry appeared to quickly wash the thought aside with a simple statement, "I'm good right now," after hearing this, which raised eyebrows. Green urged Curry to explain why he would turn down the opportunity to play with one of basketball's GOATs on his show. Curry elaborated,
Curry admits that to this day, James’ words mean a lot to him. He recalls a fond memory of James visiting him at Davidson which confirms his utmost respect to the “Kid from Akron.” He said, “Not a lot of people know this, but he gave me a jersey when I was in college at Davidson, and I still have it on the wall at my parents’ house back in Charlotte. He [signed] it — to the king of basketball in North Carolina.” Curry understands why this matchup would turn heads, knowing that it sparks a sense of curiosity. He continued, “You take a fantasy draft and you’re building a team out and you take what Bron can do and the way that I can shoot the ball, obviously there’s a curiosity of like, What would that look like?’” Though that’s the case, he appears to double down on his answer, ending the rumors once and for all,
“But also there’s a realism and that’s why I said, ‘I’m good right now,’ is, you can never let your mind go from what you know is your situation and your moment, your time and who I have been rocking with from Day 1.
That’s my best answer because it’s fantasy, it’s wild but there’s a respect and appreciation and a surrealness because of where I came from and how we interacted in college. But if this was 2K that would be pretty lethal.”
