His recent takes on Stephen Curry and the Warriors have the NBA community wondering if he would ever join forces with Steph. Though we have seen both play together in 2 All-Star games, James seemed quite serious about this one.
LeBron said that he would like to play for the Warriors alongside Green and Steph. Though Keyshawn from KJM had a different take on LeBron’s statement. “He’s talking about playing for the Golden State Warriors. Who’s in the championship, the Golden State Warriors. So you having this conversation, and first thing we gonna do, we gonna start talking about it.”

“What do we do when Aaron Rodgers talks about something? We start talking about Aaron Rodgers because he said something. So LeBron James does have that on par with Aaron Rodgers,” said Keyshawn when asked if LeBron had something in common with Aaron.
He also said that LeBron is nowhere near “as egregious” as Rodgers and that “he is taking our time away from talking about the Golden State Warriors…” While James does have a chance to play for the Warriors after his contract with the Lakers ends. Though the Warriors will probably fail to sign him, given their cap space.
