“We always look forward to these battles, but we can also appreciate the mutual respect that exists, both knowing what it takes to be at this level for so long. Few people understand how challenging it is. I’m happy to be part of this group,” he added. LeBron, in turn, praised Curry, calling him “one of the greatest in the history” of the NBA, and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete in such intense games against his old rival.
“I will tell the story of these games to my grandchildren. I will be pleased to say that I competed on equal terms with one of the greatest players to ever appear in this sport”, stated the number 23. James highlighted that the healthy rivalry between him and the Warriors star has been beneficial for both. “It’s always a pleasure to play against one of the greatest in the history of the sport. We continue to push ourselves at this stage of our careers, and we should be grateful for that, because you never know how many opportunities we will have to be on the same court with a talent of this caliber” , he highlighted.
