Following a recent preseason game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, Stephen Curry and LeBron James had a fun moment together on the court. After the Warriors won 125-108, Curry and James gave each other a hearty hug and started joking about as the players congregated at half court.

The effort at friendship by Lakers star Anthony Davis was what made the occasion really funny. James and Curry were still talking when Davis walked over to Curry and held out his hand for a dap-up. But Curry appeared briefly oblivious to Davis’s move, leaving the Lakers forward in suspense for a split second.

Fans were immediately drawn to the humorous exchange between these NBA players, which gave rise to a number of theories and rumors regarding what they discussed. Given that both LeBron James and Stephen Curry have indicated interest in competing for the United States, many fans humorously assumed that they may have been talking about joining forces for Team USA in the 2024 Olympics.

All in all, the incident served as a reminder of the respect and brotherhood that NBA players have for one another, despite playing for different clubs. Moments like these give the cutthroat world of professional basketball a little humor and compassion.
