During a Zoom press conference last week, Coach Steve Kerr provided some insights on this strategy to the reporters.
“I’ve talked to both of them about this idea of being together after going against one another with such high stakes over the years. They obviously fit really well together. I think the idea of Steph playing off the ball and LeBron pushing it in transition, that’s pretty intriguing. And obviously Steph will play on the ball as well and LeBron has become such a good shooter, but they’re both so good at so many different areas of the game,” Kerr said.
The NBA world is now buzzing to see the team play of James and Curry. Like the fans, both LeBron and Curry are also excited for their teaming up for the first time on the basketball court.
“I think they’re really excited to compete together for the first time and to find, over the course of practices and the friendlies, to find some of the nuances that they can really exploit and explore, too, just to see where they can have an impact for each other,” Kerr added.
