LeBron James Congratulates Stephen Curry For Graduating From Davidson College: “Amazing! Congratulations! Major Bro.”

2 Min Read

LeBron James and Stephen Curry have formed 2 ends of one of the greatest rivalries in NBA history. James and Curry are going to be inextricably linked forever due to the run of 4 consecutive Finals in which LBJ’s Cleveland Cavaliers faced off against Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors.

2015 saw Curry’s Warriors win their first championship after LeBron’s co-stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were injured and couldn’t play in the Finals. 2016 saw the greatest comeback in NBA history, as the Cavaliers came back from 3-1 down to win the title. 2017 and 2018 were dominated by the Warriors, who added Kevin Durant to their team and made their championship bid undisputable.

Despite this storied rivalry, James and Curry have had a very friendly relationship. LeBron was an early endorser of Steph, and watched him play at Davidson. Today, Davidson retired Curry’s jersey as he graduated from college, prompting James to send his congratulations to his friend and foe.

Curry using the offseason to complete his graduation is a pretty fantastic thing to do, even if he won’t ever really need to use his degree. In the post-NBA world, Curry will probably be heavily involved in the world of business, which is a field where having a college degree could make a perceptual difference. 

LeBron is a billionaire without ever having gone to college, so these players can create a lot of wealth around their name and brand even if they don’t have degrees. Curry is easily one of the smarter businessmen in the league, as seen through his strategic partnerships and stand-out shoe deal with Under Armour.

LeBron and Curry will cross paths again this season. Even though LeBron said he wanted to play with Curry one day, it doesn’t look like Steph would want to move away from his championship-winning Warriors, especially if it means joining his rival on the non-playoff Lakers.
