From rivals to teammates.

LeBron James relished the chance of finally being on the same side with Steph Curry as they linked up for Team LeBron in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game after years of being pitted against each other.

James and Curry, both starters, helped lead Team LeBron to a 170-150 blowout win over Team Durant.

“Finally got to share the floor with [Curry]! Well overdue and I loved every single second,” James wrote on his Twitter account.

The two superstars met in the NBA Finals for 4 consecutive years from 2015 to 2018, with Curry and the Golden State Warriors beating James and the Cleveland Cavaliers thrice.

James got one over Curry when Team LeBron escaped Team Stephen in the 2018 All-Star Game, the first edition wherein the league adopted a draft-style format for its two All-Star teams.

They missed a chance to team up in the 2019 All-Star Game as Curry played for the team captained by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Curry then did not see action in the 2020 All-Star Game after suffering a hand injury that sidelined him for months.

But James finally made fans’ dreams come true by drafting Curry this year as his second pick after taking Antetokounmpo with his first selection.

In a series of hashtags, James lauded Curry for being the greatest shooter of all time and for changing how the game is played with his unparalleled three-point shooting.

Curry displayed his vaunted marksmanship as he finished with 28 points for Team LeBron on an 8-of-16 clip from long distance.

He drained a couple of shots from near the half court line and a no-look three-pointer from the corner to James’ delight.

“[Damian Lillard] and [Curry] simply ain’t fair! I literally kept telling them to back up further and further to shoot and what did they do? Exactly [that],” James wrote. – Rappler.com
