Warriors sharpshooter: LeBron James Implies 3-point shooting isn’t the only thing Stephen Curry has….., what seemed insurmountable at one point in NBA history…

According to Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, the “no lead is safe” narrative in the NBA changed when Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry came along.

Curry, widely regarded as the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history, has shown during his time in the league that some large deficits — which may have seemed insurmountable at one point in NBA history — aren’t anymore.

James gave Curry his flowers and said that he loves the Warriors sharpshooter.

While James and Curry have a lot of history as competitors on the floor (including some epic battles in the NBA Finals), it’s clear that there’s a strong sense of mutual respect between them.

In the eyes of some, James and Curry will be remembered as the two defining figures of this era in the NBA. Both players have resumes that include multiple MVP awards (four for James and two for Curry) as well as numerous NBA championships (four each).

The Lakers and Warriors are having similar 2023-24 seasons, as both teams have the talent to be considered dangerous but are currently stuck in play-in territory in the Western Conference. There’s a chance the two squads will have to go through each other in order to advance to the first round of the playoffs.

A fifth championship for either player would certainly make for some fascinating conversations, but even if that isn’t in the cards, James and Curry have accomplished more than enough to cement their legacies.

Los Angeles and Golden State will play one more time in the 2023-24 regular season on April 9. After that, any additional matchups between the two squads this season will have to come in the play-in tournament or playoffs.

James is 39 while Curry is 36, so the two NBA icons won’t be active forever. But in the meantime, basketball fans get the privilege of watching both players compete in the same conference on teams that have title hopes — even if each team’s championship odds are long this season.

Analyst Questions Warriors’ Desire To Compete

The Golden State Warriors faced another difficult loss on Monday night, falling to the New York Knicks at home, 119-112.

The Knicks were short-handed and the Warriors were not but they still were not able to pull out a victory, which was a hugely disappointing outcome for the team.

Speaking to NBC Sports, Zena Keita talked about the position the team is in and what head coach Steve Kerr should say.

“I’m not sure what else Steve Kerr can say [to the Warriors] at this point,” Keita admitted.

Several Golden State players did good work on Monday, with Steph Curry scoring 27 points, Trayce Jackson-Davis posting 19, and Klay Thompson putting up 18.

Jonathan Kuminga was also a huge help with 16 points.

But that wasn’t enough for the Warriors and New York’s offense repeatedly sailed past them.

The Knicks’ defense was also great and there were multiple possessions where the Warriors couldn’t get close to the basket or grab hold of a rebound.

The Warriors didn’t look competitive for a number of reasons and that’s a very troubling sign, especially considering where things stand right now.

After this loss, the Warriors have slipped back down to the tenth seed in the Western Conference, right behind the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, the Houston Rockets are only a few games behind them, which is quite alarming for Golden State.

What should Kerr say and what kind of direction can he point his team in?

They had all the pieces for a win on Monday but they got outworked by the Knicks.

All season long, fans of the Warriors have been waiting for their team to get it together and have a strong run of wins before the playoffs.

Every time the team comes up short, any chance of reaching the postseason feels less and less likely.
