LeBron James and Stephen Curry have dominated the NBA for almost an entire decade. The two superstars have 4-4 titles to their name and are widely regarded as two of the greatest players ever. Naturally, this has also led to a healthy rivalry between the two.

Their rivalry extends to their respective teams as well. When LeBron played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, he faced the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry on multiple occasions in the NBA finals.

Their rivalry did not end when LeBron changed teams. Whenever the Lakers take on the Warriors, it is guaranteed to be an exciting affair. Interestingly enough, Phil Handy, the assistant coach of the Lakers, revealed an interesting secret during an interview.

Talking with former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, Handy revealed that he received offers to join the Warriors. Despite being from Oakland, Handy rejected the Warriors’ coaching job.

Handy said, “You know, I’m from Oakland. The Golden State Warriors had potentially offered me a job. I wasn’t really interested. I had a very prosperous business, work when I want, work when I don’t want.”

After failing to make the playoffs last season, the Lakers underwent some changes. Coach Frank Vogel was sacked and in came Darvin Ham as the new head coach. Phil Handy retained his job and was awarded a contract extension very recently.

Unlike Handy, LeBron James wanted to play for the Warriors
