The past seven days have been wild in the NBA, with the Brooklyn Nets creating a superteam with the addition of LaMarcus Aldridge to their already powerful team. The competition between the New Yorkers and the Los Angeles Lakers is fierce and everybody wants to see these two powerhouses clash in the 2021 NBA Finals.
There are plenty of storylines involving these two teams and one of those include Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant going after LeBron James in a hypothetical Finals. Moreover, after reports saw the light suggesting James tried to recruit Stephen Curry during the All-Star break, fans have started to create narratives about these two squads and what could mean a matchup of Durant-Irving against James-Curry.
NBA Memes shared a very interesting scenario with the world, putting James and Curry against Durant and Irving, calling it the biggest ‘battle of the exes’.

NBA fans reacted to that, some giving their prediction on who would win the matchup, others trolling Durant, and the rest just reminding everybody that Curry isn’t swapping teams and even less to play with LeBron.

It's starting to look like the age of competition is over, and the age of the Buddy Cop/Marvel Team up/DC Team up is upon us. I really can't hate if NBA Players generally get along, respect, and enjoy playing ball together.🤷🏿♂️

If Steph joins Lebron, KD will announce his retirement the following night.

Even though this would be a very good matchup, nobody is sold on this idea. Stephen Curry won’t be joining another team, at this stage of his career, and even less with his biggest rival in the NBA.
Kyrie and Durant are ready to lead the Brooklyn Nets to the promised land this campaign and they’re not too worried about the rest of the teams. It would be a lot of fun to watch these duos go at it but that isn’t going to happen.
