Would NBA players LeBron James and Stephen Curry together make a super team? In the most recent Point Forward podcast episode, Andre Iguodala asked co-host Evan Turner about his views on this topic.
While Turner speculated that LeBron James and Stephen Curry might be a superteam, Iguodala gave his reasons why they would not. Iguodala who disagreed, pointed out that LeBron’s senior age was a significant consideration.
“Bron’s 40 years old, so I’m not considering that a superteam,” Iguodala said. He further added, “They got to get everything out of themselves, every ounce to get there. ‘Cause our superteam was like, man, we can play B- we still gonna win. We can play C+we still gonna win.”

Despite Iguodala’s reasoning, Turner expressed how he believes James and Curry were playing at an extremely high level. He said that if they had the right supporting cast, which would include Draymond Green and a skilled shooter, their combined basketball intelligence and skill might potentially win them a championship.
One should note, LeBron did show that he still had a lot left in him during the 2023–24 championship, averaging 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game, in spite of his age being 39.
Meanwhile, Curry is one of the NBA’s most potent offensive players, averaging 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per contest.
It is quite evident that if James and Curry have a good support system, they could be a formidable team that can win it all when combined.
