It’s wild to think outside of NBA All-Star games, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Golden State Warriors Steph Curry have not played together. The two future Hall of Famers have been especially vocal about teaming up for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
ICYMO, last Wednesday (July 10), Team USA, which some consider one of the best Olympic basketball squads ever assembled on paper, played their first exhibition game against Canada.
The American stars game away with a sound victory, even against fellow star NBA players who hail from Canada.
As expected, James and Curry were key in catching the W in what is shaping up to be a tough starting lineup with Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker, Boston Celtics’ Jrue Holiday, and Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid.
Get this: A highlight of the action was an incredible, much-awaited alley-oop between James and Curry—or should we say Curry to James, in case you really weren’t sure, ha.
The icon-to-icon pass for the slam quickly went viral.
James, seizing the moment, shared the play on the Gram. Who stepped into the chat? None other than Bron’s former Heat teammate, Dwyane Wade.
As he was often referred to, the Flash brought back memories of their more than iconic image from their days in South Beach. Wade, made a note in the comments:
With James and Curry leading the charge, and Anthony Edwards making it known he wants to be the man, Team USA is out for nothing less than gold and the world, especially Dwyane Wade, is watching.
