While some fans have highlighted Curry and James’ 2024 Olympic run when speaking of their relationship on the court, others point toward one of the greatest NBA Finals rivalries in league history.
From 2014 to 2018, Curry and James went head-to-head in the NBA Finals, with the Warriors holding the 3-1 series edge.
At this point in their career, both NBA stars have four championship rings under their belt.
