We are in the 4th quarter, meaning Lakers fans are here Stephen Curry cannot stop throwing jab
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors have developed a sneaky rivalry over the years. Between 2015 and 2018, they competed against each other four times in a row in the NBA Finals, as well as once in the play-in competition. While James is coming off a disastrous season in which the Lakers failed to make the play-in tournament, Curry is currently on top of the world after winning the NBA title and Finals MVP award.
On Wednesday night, Curry had a great time using his stage to disrespect rival teams and some of his co-stars. The superstar of the Golden State Warriors was chosen to host the ESPYs, and he certainly did not disappoint. Curry joined the hall of sports greats while wearing a bright green suit and clutching a cup of drink where he started flexing and making jokes. Later on in the evening, the Warriors star took another jab at the Lakers, this time making reference to how their supporters don’t typically pay close attention to their games.
Stephen Curry enjoyed roasting Lebron James and the Lakers.
After defeating the Boston Celtics, Stephen Curry just led the Warriors to their fourth NBA championship in eight seasons. The relationship between the two isn’t particularly tense, and Lebron James recently stated that he would like to play alongside Curry if he could. Curry earned the ESPY for Best Record-Breaking Performance, which he got for surpassing Ray Allen’s record for most 3-pointers made in league history, as well as Best NBA Player of the Year meanwhile Lebron had hosted the ESPYs once in 2007 and won the best player award 7 times.
Despite having one of the best rivalries in basketball, Steph Curry and LeBron James appreciate one another despite having faced off against one another several times. The two players become quite familiar with one another after competing against one other in the NBA Finals every year from 2015 to 2018. The mutual respect between them has persisted despite the fact that their paths have not crossed in the playoffs since 2018, and both frequently express their love for one another off the court. But this time, Curry got the best of Lebron by leading the Warriors to an NBA title whereas the King struggled to take his team past the Play-in.

Speaking at the ESPYs, Stephen Curry took anchoring to another level by slamming everyone and everything past him. He took shots at the Celtics, Lebron, Lakers, Rams, Clippers and even his teammates were on the verge of getting roasted by the GOAT shooter. He mainly pointed out Lebron and the Lakers stating: “We’re in the 4th quarter of the show which means all the LA fans are finally here. Appreciate y’all showing up. It also means all the Miami fans are already gone so thanks for coming.”

Curry also crushed the Boston Celtics earlier in the evening with a little assistance from Kevin Hart. According to Steph, the famous comedian wanted him to begin his introductory skit by referring to himself as the “proud daddy” of the Celtics. All things considered, Stephen Curry’s hosting performance was a resounding hit.
