In an unlikely timeline of this era of the league, both Stephen Curry and Chris Paul are about to share the court as teammates. And no matter how much the shocked Dub Nation tries to imagine what suddenly happened, both future Hall of Famers are truly looking forward to their partnership.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, both Curry and Paul are excited about their play with each other as members of the Golden State Warriors given also the respect they command toward themselves.
“Make no mistake, this move doesn’t happen without Curry’s blessing and Paul’s acquiescence. Both are big enough stars to have killed this move if they wanted to. But team sources say Stephen Curry and Chris Paul are excited about their union, and that’s assuredly because they had a meeting of minds. No doubt, their rivalry has subsided over the years as both dribble towards their 40s. But mutual respect and appreciating the brotherhood doesn’t always mean teaming up.”
Curry and Paul are two of the best point guards of this era, and they frequently battled and shared heated moments on the side of the barbaric Western Conference throughout the years. Amid their competitive demeanor in basketball, they still have that solid brotherhood and regard off the court most especially in the business field and cultivating the game.
The 38-year-old Paul was acquired by Golden State this Thursday from the Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and two future second-round draft picks. Patrick Baldwin Jr. was just recently added as a throw-in to further finalize the deal for both sides.
