LeBron James and Stephen Curry will be in the national spotlight together when the Los Angeles Lakers play the Golden State Warriors on Christmas.

Before the game, the Lakers superstar played a playful prank on his longtime Warriors rival. James snuck up on Curry while the Golden State guard was warming up and hilariously pretended to block his shot.

After the funny moment, the two four-time NBA champions warmly hugged each other. It was another reminder of the friendship between these players, who are probably the most famous basketball players in the world.

Curry and James played together for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics and won a gold medal.

While it’s unlikely we’ll ever see them play together in the NBA, they clearly enjoyed being on the court together and representing their country.

Both players have spoken about how it’s unclear how much longer we’ll see them in the league before they inevitably retire. So, now more than ever, it’s more important to enjoy these fun moments while they’re both here.

This includes the highlights on the pitch, but also the silly things before the games.
