LeBron James has previously stated he's always wanted to be teammates with Steph Curry, but he couldn't overcome one factor to make it happen this summer.
LeBron and Steph are the two modern pillars of the NBA. While LeBron chases the legacy of Michael Jordan, Curry has proven that he belongs at the same table as the all-time greats.
James and Curry could've been teammates this summer if James had joined the Warriors, fulfilling a publicly-stated dream for the 41-year-old. Unfortunately, one factor was too much to ignore.
Draymond Green spoke about James' decision on his podcast, openly stating that he thought the optics of LeBron coming to the Warriors to play with Steph was too much of a gamble with his legacy.
"I ultimately don't think Bron was ever able to get over the history, and I understand it, I get it… He's gonna get crushed if he comes to the Warriors, 'ahhhh man, you went to team up with Steph', and ultimately I think that weighed in on the decision a lot."
