During the 2024 Summer Olympics, James was ecstatic to pair with Curry on the U.S. National Team, saying it was “about f–king time” they played together, which led many to speculate that they could one day join forces in the NBA. The latest rumblings come as James and the Lakers are in the midst of a rough patch.
