The LA Clippers and the Golden State Warriors are meeting for the third time. Guess what? James Harden & Co. currently have a clean 3-0 record after defeating the undermanned team from the Bay Area on Friday. Despite the impressive balance sheet The beard appeared to be focused on something else as he revealed his emotional interaction with Stephen Curry. It was about the iconic Christmas encounter between LeBron James and Chef Curry.

After the win over the Dubs, a reporter contacted Harden and asked him his opinion on the superstar duo’s Christmas duel. It was indeed an exciting competition that took place. Until the final buzzer, the game was in everyone’s hands. Without Austin Reaves’ hard layup with one second left, the game would have gone into overtime. Still, Steph and Bron had a lot of fights in the final minutes of the game. Most importantly, the game climaxed when Stephen Curry dropped a three-pointer over the tight defense of LeBron James.

Although we already know it’s an iconic Christmas game, it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion. Interestingly, we have a different perspective than James Harden. The veteran point guard expressed a crucial opinion from a sporting perspective. He said: “Me and Steph talked about that after the game too. We love playing basketball. It’s just like that, Father Time is undefeated… I know LeBron probably feels the same way.”

Harden further added: “We love the game of basketball…Now we just have little, nagging injuries that you probably don’t get when you’re young…It’s weird, but it’s part of life.” The security guard’s statement only served to further inflame pension concerns.

Stephen Curry hints at retirement, saying: “The end is near”

Even if the superstars still dominate the game with their ballplay on the field, they are aging. At some point they have to hang up their boots. LeBron James, who is just days away from his 40th birthday, has been dropping triple-doubles for fun. On the other hand, KD and Steph do what they do best, which is make some shots. However, before the Christmas game, Curry made a concerning statement.

When ESPN’s Malika Andrew asked Steph if he was thinking about retirement and he said: “More than probably before… It’s okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near… But only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it and the more you acknowledge it, the more it increases the sense of urgency in this moment.”

Amid this troubling statement, James Harden has a request for fans. During his emotional statement about the Christmas pageant, he also added: “I hope that fans and people who enjoy and love the game of basketball can embrace and appreciate these moments. Because once players like us are gone, we will never see them again.” So the message is plain and simple. Enjoy it while it lasts. What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments.
