Curry, a two-time NBA MVP, began his 16th NBA season with the Warriors. In the first preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the 36-year-old scored 9 points, two assists, and one rebound in 14 minutes of playing time. Toward the end of the game, Warriors fans started chanting, “We Want Curry,” as he played for only 14 minutes.

Former NBA Star Throws Shade on the Dream Duo of Curry and LeBron James

Curry’s partnership with James in the 2024 Paris Olympics has been well-received by fans, players, and analysts. Many fans are hoping that these two basketball legends will team up in the NBA in the future. However, one of LeBron’s former teammates has a different opinion on the matter.

“They better not. I’m making the announcement to them — ya’ll better not. On Team USA, we loved it, laughed it up. Don’t do that. It’s not cool. I want ya’ll to be arch-enemies. That’s just what it is,” Iman Shumpert said to Clutchpoints.

Curry displayed incredible efforts in the last NBA season but fell short of leading his team to the playoffs. As the new NBA season commences, fans are eagerly anticipating a resurgence from the Warriors and are hopeful that Curry will lead the team to great success.
