'We're not gonna need him' - Leaked audio of Stephen Curry & LeBron James’ interaction leads to speculation about Anthony Davis at Olympics 2024
Could LeBron James and Stephen Curry be carving up a plan to exclude Anthony Davis from Team USA at the 2024 Olympics? That’s what an X user is claiming, basing his notion on a conversation James and Curry had after their teams played a preseason game on Saturday.
Curry allegedly made a playful remark about how the team was already exceptionally talented and didn't require Davis during a brief conversation, according to Twitter (X) user @legendz_nba.
"We're not gonna need him."
Allegedly, James said:
"You're gonna need a gold medal."
Curry is thought to have responded with:
"Nobody is going to stop us."
Curry then made the remark about how Team USA didn't require the assistance of Anthony Davis.
Some fans appeared to accept the post's claims at face value, while others said that the X user may not have had firsthand information. There were some who noted that the footage being discussed might not have been leaked material but publicly broadcasted content.
LeBron James names Stephen Curry as the player he wants to play with the most
LeBron James and Stephen Curry have engaged in numerous playoff showdowns. However, when it comes to choosing a player to team up with other than his son, Bronny, James has singled out Curry as his top choice.
During an episode of "The Shop" in April 2022, James expressed his desire to play alongside Curry:
"Sh*t, there's some motherf***ers in today's game, but Steph Curry," James said.
"Steph Curry's the one that I wanna play with for sure. ... I love everything about that guy. Lethal. When he get out his car, you better guard him right from the moment he pulls up to the arena. ... You might wanna guard him when he get out of the bed. Swear to god. He's serious."
Although it seems improbable due to their current circumstances, the idea of LeBron James and Stephen Curry joining forces in the future remains a captivating prospect for many.
