With the NBA All-Star weekend over, it’s only a matter of time before we see these guys face off against one another. Moreover, Steph Curry’s Warriors are currently out of playoff contention. They need to figure out a strategy and hopefully make a push for a mid-level seed in the second half of the season.
Also, there is a chance that LBJ and Steph will go head to head in the playoffs this season. If that turns out to be the case, which team are you going to support? Is it LeBron’s Lakers or Steph’s Warriors? Let us know your views in the comments section below.
