Brian Windhorst said the thing.
On Tuesday’s episode of Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective, the eponymous ESPN host offered the following comment about Stephen Curry and LeBron James to Marc Spears and Nick Friedell .
“I thought it was hilarious over All-Star weekend, LeBron praising Steph up and down, one side and down the other — how much he loves his game, how much he respects him.”
Curry, who makes $43 million this year and $45.8 million next (before he would become a free agent), is eligible to sign an extension with the Warriors this summer.
“I mean, LeBron has obviously put the full-court press on, not the full-court press, but LeBron has obviously begun (the) recruiting of Steph just in the event that he wouldn’t extend and that somehow he’d become a free agent,” Windhorst added, pausing to chuckle. “And the Lakers would have a swing at him.”
