So glad Curry and Lebron never teamed up in their primes, would've been a bigger joke than KD teaming up with Curry

What do teams even do with that lol, you got Lebron ready to just bulldoze down the paint if you don’t help but you have to give up a curry 3 if you do help

Double-teaming Lebron out past the 3pt line, leaving Curry wide open?
The hottest of takes...

It’s wild bc they should be getting easy lobs to Wemby but their guards can’t run a pick and roll

I mean you could keep someone within 8ft of him instead of doubling LeBron at the half court line.

LeBron is moving to his right passing to left to a moving Curry on target over 2 defenders. He makes it look basic. Even his entry passes to Embiid. He sits and the offense looks like a complete mess.

How would Wemby losing Gold affect LeBron's legacy?
