This is not LeBron James’ week.
Steph Curry might play wit h James in a “fantasy world,” but the Warriors star guard isn’t interested in teaming up with the King at the moment.
Curry joined 95.7 The Game’s Steiny & Guru Wednesday and was asked about James’ recent comments he made in an upcoming episode of “The Shop.”
“In today’s game, Steph Curry. Steph Curry’s the one that I want to play with,” James said in a preview for the episode, which airs on Friday.
“Oh shoot,” Curry said, laughing. “That is phenomenal. When did he say that, on ‘The Shop’?’ Well he got his wish. He was the [All-Star] captain. He’s picked me the last two All-Star games. I don’t know if that suffices, but I’m good right now.”
When asked how James’ comments make him feel, Curry said, “I mean whenever you get the interest or curiosity of what it would be like to play with arguably, an MVP-caliber dude like he is, one of the greatest of all time, cool. I guess I made it. We can all live in that fantasy world though.”
James and Curry have battled each other on the court for years, but they’ve never played on the same team — with the exception of the All-Star Game. The pair were prolific in this year’s game, combining for 74 points (50 from Curry) in a win over Team Durant.
The 37-year-old James remains undefeated as an All-Star captain over the last three years, having selected Curry twice in his top three picks. After last year’s All-Star game, James praised Curry after the pair shared the ball for the first time in their storied careers.
But Curry is focused right now on winning his fourth championship with the Warriors, alongside longtime teammates Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. The Warriors are currently the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. Last August, Curry signed a four-year, $215 million contract extension with Golden State.
James got an early start to the offseason after the Suns eliminated the Lakers from playoff contention in a 121-110 loss Tuesday. He’s up for a contract extension on Aug. 4.
