Curry responded to James’ comments from “The Shop” on Wednesday. “Well he got his wish. He was the captain and he’s picked me for the last two All-Star Games. So I don’t know if that suffices, but I’m good right now,” Curry said on 95.7 The Game. “Whenever you get the interest or curiosity of what it would be like to play with arguably the MVP kinda caliber dude like he is, one of the greatest of all-time, cool. That’s amazing. We all can live in that fantasy world.”

Final: Another thriller at MSG. Nets rally from 21 down to beat the Knicks 110-98. Kevin Durant finished with 32 points, Kyrie Irving with 24. The chase for the seventh seed lives. Patty Mills and Seth Curry provided much-needed shooting. Cavs come to town Friday. Another big one – 10:07 PM

Another pretty flat defensive effort for the Nets. Undermanned Knicks squad running them up and down the floor to close the 1st. Curry had a nice start in his return — but Nets better ramp up the intensity or else this young Knicks team is going to surprise them. – 8:12 PM

Could Lakers star LeBron James be plotting a move to the Bay Area?
Unlikely.
But in a preview from an upcoming episode of “The Shop,” the four-time league MVP did give tremendous praise to Golden State’s Stephen Curry.

Remember the narrative during the Miami Heat’s Big 3 era about @Dwyane Wade missing too much time with LeBron?
Wade missed 64 games in those 4 seasons, one of which was shortened.
Anthony Davis has missed 87 in 3 seasons, two of which were shortened.

When LeBron passes Kareem in scoring, that may be the last time an all-time record in one of the major statistical categories is beaten.
Zero chance rebounds or assists records are surpassed.
Scoring (after LeBron gets it), steals and blocks are really long shots. – 11:34 AM

Big question for bettors in regards to #Lakers is whether LeBron James is going to try to win the scoring title. He now trails Joel Embiid of the #Sixers by one-tenth of a point. LeBron needs to play 2 more games to qualify. He was 80-1 to lead #NBA in scoring in December. – 6:17 AM
More on this storyline
This line of thinking makes James’ comments in an upcoming episode of “The Shop” fertile ground for speculation and rumormongering. When asked who he would most like to play with in the NBA, James’ first answer was his son, Bronny James, currently a junior in high school. When asked about which current NBA player he’d like to team up with, however, the elder James got the Twitter wheels turning. “In today’s game, sh– there’s some m—–f—— in today’s game, but Steph Curry,” James said. “Steph Curry’s the one that I wanna play with for sure, in today’s game. … 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.” -via CBSSports.com / April 7, 2022
95.7 The Game: Bob Myers on LeBron’s recent comments he wants to play with Steph: “I’m not gonna comment on that. … But who wouldn’t wanna play with Curry.” (via @SteinyGuru957 ) -via Twitter / April 7, 2022
Is Kevin Love getting any hints on that ’16 text chain that LeBron James is interested in a return to Cleveland? “After 2018, did [I] know he was going to the Lakers? I was like, eh, had some sort of an idea that it was a possibility, like a strong possibility I should say, but no, I don’t see any,” says Love. “He obviously loves our makeup. He loves our team, he has a special bond with Akron, the city of Cleveland, Ohio. But no, I don’t really get a feel for that as of right now. But you know, with him, it could change.” -via Sports Illustrated / April 5, 2022
