Stephen Curry offered a new perspective and respect for LeBron James despite the superstar not joining the Warriors.
Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Stephen Curry offered a new perspective on LeBron James' past free agency.
When asked whether he had any conversations with James about joining him in Golden State, Curry admitted there was no clear indication that the discussions gained serious momentum.
"I thought there was a conversation, and if there was ever some momentum, it would be known based on the profile LeBron has. If he picks up the phone and says, 'Hey, what's going on out there?' or vice versa, and I pick up the phone and say, 'Hey, what's on your mind?' that would put you in the conversation for a guy like that who's picking his landing spot," Curry stated.
"But as you know, the way he went about it, taking his time and being patient, and the surprise of Philly, he was going to run his own journey that way."
