LeBron James was in the building when Stephen Curry showcased his mettle on the hardwood as a college player 15 years ago. Curry led Davidson College to the Elite-Eight round of the 2008 NCAA men’s Division I tournament. The Los Angeles Laker was in awe of the now-Golden State Warriors centerpiece Curry, who put on an unreal performance. King James recently wrote a few words about the Baby-Faced Assassin on his Instagram by sharing a post of Curry’s Sweet-16 game from 15 years ago.

The Chosen One was full of praise for the now-9x All-Star Stephen Curry. NBA buffs, however, surprisingly called out the Los Angeles Lakers forward for his praise and some even accused him of ‘lying’.

LeBron James showers adulations on Stephen Curry

LeBron James is also a social media icon and often shares posts of himself and his family. Recently, on his Instagram stories, the four-time MVP shared the post featuring Curry, originally shared by Bleacher Report, and added the text “Knew he was special!!” to it. The post contains a photo of the Lakers forward, seated courtside and reacting to the current Warriors guard’s performance. A highlight reel above it shows Curry giving it his all against the Wisconsin Badgers.

The game between Davidson and the Badgers ended with Curry leading his side to a 73-56 victory. The highest scorer of the game, he wrapped up 33 points, three rebounds, four assists and four steals. However, Davidson lost to Kansas in the next round by a narrow margin. Curry was also the highest scorer in the Elite-Eight. What was more surprising about James’ post than Curry’s shooting ability – which is now confirmed by his record three-pointer numbers – was how fans turned his praise for Curry against him.
