[@loqeechris]

Absolutely not. This is another reason why the league is soft nowadays. Players are scared of competition. These superstar team ups need to STOP❗️

[@ndnd7614]

They are both old, them teaming up won’t win them sht at this point in their careers

[@BrolyJS]

They done faced everyone in the league playing and beat them before, how are they afraid? 😂

[@sosaraycharles358]

But we turn around and praise the same players for winning on super teams (Lebron in Miami & Steph in 2017/2018) so I mean 💀

[@comkillatv]

Bron 39......no super team with him anymore

[@Sevinxmusic]

@@BrolyJSexactly my thoughts

[@Sevinxmusic]

They literally would have been the avengers

[@WarriorsFanSince-ur3zu]

How? Only Steph and LeBron are stars

[@brucelau2023]

Sorry Stephen A but I definitely could not have envisioned LeBron and Steph playing together , with how their rivalry has been in the NBA Finals for those 4 years Cleveland and Golden State meeting It just wouldn’t be Justice

[@jeromestaton558]

When Warriors were winning Steph said he didn't want to play with LeBron

[@Marwin107]

Neither either the other wants to play together.

[@TT_MIA]

Sounds like Damage control from Lephony's team... when things didn't go his way they tried to reframe the narrative lol

[@4cornersofthelaw]

Where can I get a hoodie Steven A?

[@KristianDowling]

How could you actually support this Steven A? You attack KD but is this any better? LeGM chasing another ring by changing teams after not being able to trade his own teammates as usual - all while being the supposed GOAT who makes his teammates better. Your contradiction of rivals joining each other is beyond comprehension. You owe KD a huge apology for supporting Bron joining his biggest rival! Your take on this is the weakest move in the history of NBA commentary!

[@CulEdz]

This is different. Bron didn’t lose to the Warriors the year before after being up 3-1. Also Warriors wasn’t 73-10 last year also their main core weren’t the young guns that they were in 2016. Also the Warriors wasn’t in the Finals last year that’s the big difference. LeBron going to the Warriors would be bonkers but it’s not like Bron and Steph are in their prime. KD was in his prime alongside the Warriors Big 3. That’s what made that move so fucking weak.

[@KristianDowling]

@@CulEdz no this is worse. He’s the supposed GOAT yet he joins his rival. That’s just as weak as it gets especially considering all he does is trade his own players and change teams all to lose 6 finals, one of which was swept by the Warriors!

[@KristianDowling]

@@Amiirwith2eyes look at you. So offended, petty

[@CulEdz]

@@KristianDowling lol there’s one thing about not wanting Bron to go to Warriors but there’s another thing about comparing this to KD’s move which is still the most pathetic move in history of sports.

[@KristianDowling]

@@CulEdz no, Bron needing 3 teams for 6 finals loses, looking for a 7th after teaming up with his biggest rival during his career. That’s simply pathetic and weak AF

[@gdmav7775]

Stephen A listed damn near every single team in the West and completely left out the team on a 6 game win streak, with two superstars, an amazing young rookie, who had arguably the best or second best trade deadline in the league, have the number one defense over that win streak with a top 5 offense for a long time... Oh and he somehow forgot KD and Devin Booker too

[@georgeblackwell4670]

Why is this even a topic! It didn’t happen so ?? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@VOICEtheVILLAIN]

You know people have to figure out a way to have a LeBron topic

[@georgeblackwell4670]

[@WickedHill]

@@VOICEtheVILLAIN Golden State Warriors initiated it not LeBron

[@juniorstarks7494]

When KD went to the Warriors we didn’t even need to watch basketball.

[@TO8]

To any LeBron fan reading this, LeBron James will never reach the status of GOAT level of Michael Jordan. How many superstars does LeBron need to play with? The game has evolved and changed and that doesn't mean for the better when guys shoot 3's and teams can score 130 points per night. Him playing with Steph would also ruin Curry's legacy to.

[@alexanderbullock8671]

I want to see them together they only have 3 maybe 4 years left in the league

[@WarriorsFanSince-ur3zu]

same but maybe lebron doesn't want it to be in GS

[@ArnelZapataJr]

LeBron in a Warriors jersey looks horrible lmao! Ain't no way the Lakers accepting Klay Thompson and some picks for LeBron.

[@ronilogepiga6480]

Clippers superteam and Phoenix Superteam is ok while Bron and Steph being together not ok? WTF so unfair.

[@KMM5821]

How are the phoenix suns a super team?

[@Max-ys3xg]

Booker, Beal, KD. MVP caliber player plus 2 all stars almost always a superteam. Thats why the 2011 Heat is considered a superteam when they had 0 bench (Lebron/Wade/Bosh). @@KMM5821

[@MakaveliCVW]

No superteam is okay!!!!! There are so many teams in the league and enough solid players enough superstars and enough role players to fill up alot of these teams and actually make basketball interesting again

[@gusto2954]

I would LOVE to have seen that, thats better than what Chris Paul and Kobe would have been.

[@taydcan]

Lakers are 5-1 in their last 6 games (before tonight's Utah W). 11-5 in their last 16... But he don't mention all THAT.

[@WarriorsFanSince-ur3zu]

Both teams aren't winning anything this year. That's why

[@mateosworld8280]

Thankfully this didn’t happen. The NBA has already slowly become more unwatchable over the last 5 years. I didn’t need another reason to not tune in.

[@brob8204]

Stephen A. didn't even mention Phoenix. You have to add them into the mix, especially with how well Devin Booker is playing. The Suns just had to get their top guys healthy, and they have.

[@JoeMurray5]

I’d love Lebron to win another ring

[@ronilogepiga6480]

Hahaha 🤣😂😂 the Warriors made the call to Lakers if Bron was available for a trade, and Brons camp said NO. The Warriors front office will not make that move unless approved by Steph and Draymond. But still fans crucify Bron as if it was Bron who made the call. It was already reported by Ramona Shellburne, Woj Naworski and other legit espn analyst that the Warriors wanted Bron and this has nothing to do with the Lakers. They answered the call from the Warriors front office, nd Jennie said asked Rich Paul if Bron wanted a trade and Bron said NO. So don't flip the news as if it was Brons action, it was Steph and Dray action because they want Bron because they didn't have enough to win another title.

[@InvestBetter.]

The trade deadline proved that teh Warriors and the Lakers are out of the running this season They can each win a game or two in a series They just aren't going on the road, and running through the Western Conference

[@iDanielll]

that could be fast run to championship but its okay warriors can sign lebron kd or pg in summer

[@James-qw7cr]

What so he could ruin another team ?!? Please retire so the nba can move forward

[@SSJRome]

This really does kill that Bron is a team hopper narrative lol

[@WarriorsFanSince-ur3zu]

Everyone should be. The Lakers assets are gone. Leaving actually is smart. This is why 97% of the population are poor. They don't think. They'd rather believe in custom than logic.

[@rohanjacob9165]

why dont the media talk about mavs 6 game winning streak?

I absolutely didnt want to see that garbage.

What would the warriors give if they ever traded for lebron?

[@PressureFlipperZ]

Did you really average 1.5 points in 1 game can you explain how that works before you talk to me about nba

played one, was registered, and didnt play the rest of the season he was supposed to play. Really simple lmfao, muricans.

“Still a great, great player”, you lost me the moment you said it

[@regal394]

listen Klutch Sports, quit pushing this bs narrative. Nobody wants to see LeBron James anywhere near Steph Curry, sounds like the Lakers are shopping Lebron. That's good but he doesn't need to play with Steph

[@ronilogepiga6480]

You're not reading the headline it was the Warriors contacted the Lakers if Bron was available for a trade. Warriors front office will not make that action unless approve by Steph and Draymond and you all talking that it was the Lakers who convince the Warriors to contact Bron. Just watch and read the headline bruh it was everywhere that the Warriors wanted Bron and Bron said no.

[@regal394]

@@ronilogepiga6480 it came from Klutch because Draymond pushed for it. He's a Klutch player

[@ronilogepiga6480]

@@regal394 came from klutch, but the Warriors were the ones contacted the Lakers if Bron was available for trade. Yes Dray was a klutch Sports client and both of them were business partner, but so many reports from different social media sites even mainstream sports site that says the Warriors were active looking for players in the market before the trade deadline and somehow Dray recommend to the Warriors front office to asked the Lakers if Bron was available for trade during which Bron posted the hour glass emoji that led the Warriors management to contact the Lakers. Dray will not make this move unless approved by Steph. And yesterday after their last game against Utah Jazz, Steph was asked by reporters if he was aware with this action of the Warriors to contact the Lakers and says yes he was aware. He even tell the media to play with Bron was a one time opportunity. If the Warriors front office didn't want Bron at all, they should not listened to Dray's recommendation as approved by Steph. But somehow Warriors front office agreed to it. So stopped the narrative as if it was Brons doing unless you have presented a valid physical documented evidence, a legit source of evidence that prove it was Brons action that propel the Warriors to go for a trade. Don't say "sounds like the Lakers are shopping Lebron". They're not shopping Bron, they just respect the players wish if he wants to be traded or not, if he is not happy anymore. And thats Jennie Buss, she always respect players request and wish, that's why Jennie said to the Warriors front office contact Rich Paul and asked him if Bron was available for trade. And Bron already said far before the trade deadline that he didn't want to be traded, that he wants to be a Lakers for life. So stop that nonsense narrative. Your warriors team, your Stephen Curry silently needed the help of Bron but he works through Dray and the Warriors Front office so that it will looked like he was not involved with the discussion but it turned out as he clear it out in his post game interview yesterday that he was aware with the Warriors contacting the Lakers if Bron was available for trade.
