Bron and steph hugging twice says it all. the respect, admiration, and friendship. what a rivalry.
They hug to give headlines
@@mcmerry2846 Ok buddy. Whatever helps you sleep at night 😭
@@mcmerry2846 really dude gtfoh that's freaking respect
@@mcmerry2846 ur one of those who always looks at the negative side huh?
@@mcmerry2846 im wondering who asked hmmm 🤔
Two legends we will never get tired of 💛💜💙💛
Stephen Curry is not a Legend 😂 only LBJ is the GOAT
@@LebronJames-cr6mq Uhhh curry definitely is a legend not the goat but a legend
@@LebronJames-cr6mq bro he is a legend top 7
@@Why-jd6kn no
@@LebronJames-cr6mq It's funny because there are idiots like this guy Curry is a legend
That's 8 rings right there. The greatest rivalry of this generation. GOAT's
.
8 rings, 5 Finals MVP's, 6 MVP's...
8 championships of the last 11 belong to those 2. They prevented so many future HOF players from ever getting a ring.
@@jdapaul1351 Kawhi loved to destroy them both
@@freetoplay169They sure have. But it’s actually funny to think Kawhi Leonard is the only one who stole one from each.
And I like how lebron and curry after all these battles they still have respect for each other. Edit: thanks for 1k likes
Most NBA players these days do. This ain't the 80s no more bud
It's the fans that hate each other the players hangout together with their families 😳
When you make 50+ million a year just by salary it’s really ez to respect people lol.
In the 80s the battle is real cuz not everyone gets a good meal
ofc, they aren't the fans lol
I think they legit like each other
LeBron and Steph. 2 of the all-time greats. Always.
Nothing but respect between these 2...2 Legends and future HOF'ers
don't forget Draymond Green
@@krngammaguy True
Appreciate and respect both of these greats. Doesn't matter who you like or dislike.
Agree
I respect Steph for sticking with 1 franchise through the good and bad.
Apparently it does for the fanbases.
fully agree
@@eric1061 “bad” lol
It's not the End of a Dynasty it's the End of a Era😢 Long LIVE King James and Steph Curry✊🏾
It’s the end curry should retire
@@4ktkaram395 Curry is 35 and performing BETTER than 38 year old LeBron. Should LeBron retire also?
@@ZackJonesGT He performed so much better he lost to Lebron in an elimination game where Lebron outplayed him. 38 Lebron dominates Curry unless there's KD.
GSW is TRASH 😂 the only guy they need is Curry and GP2 and Vicenzo TRADE other and get GIANNIS why they keep playing same style every year thats was the most idiot of GSW no improvement at all. BUY SUEPRSTAR CENTER THAT CAN PAIR WITH CURRY Don't need other, why is management is so stupid ?.
@@ZackJonesGT look the stats of lebron score assist rebound steal blocks and more minutes...Lebron is tired and have injury.
It's moments like these when it hits hard and you realize we gotts appreciate greatness while it's still here..
Both Steph and LeBron are all time legends.
Don’t forget Austin Reaves

Don’t hype a player so much just yet.
Happy to have watched these legends compete all these years. Congrats to the Lakers.
Lebron had an amazing closeout game 30 points on 70% shooting with a nearly a triple double amazing historic closeout and player 💯🔥
he finally drove more and drew fouls instead of jacking up a 100 three
And steph dropped 32 with trash teammates
@@dreamhunter5795his shooting is actually hot garbage too
@@dreamhunter5795 I know. Folks don't realize how bad this GS team actually was outside of Steph.
@eub34 that's because he was forced to take bad shots lmao. Klay was literally 3-19 from the field. Who else is supposed to shoot?
That mutual respect between the lakers and the warriors, just amazing to see. U can already see Lebron going to the Warriors bench even before the time ended
Yep. He respects the warriors. Grizzlies not so much 😅
Steph pumping up lonnie walker and giving him confidence as an elder statesman is the classiest and most genuine thing ever. Pure class act steph.
He sure pumped him up with his defense
This series between the Warriors and Lakers was still a great series, the better Team Won, Congratulations to the Lakers, I hope they can make it all the way and Win Finals 👍🏾, Warriors, Dub Nation, prepare to be back next season 👍🏾
It was awful tbh. Sixers and celtics were better.
Speaking as a Lebron fan who witnessed all those battles between these 2 greats, there’s definitely a mutual earned respect between each other. Gg
Watch the Warriors get revenge next year. Haha.
The Nuggets might take it
@@LPjunemark celtics needed 19 points from jayson "NOT CLUTCH" TATUM to push a game 7 LMFAO
This might be the last time we get to see Steph and Bron go against each other.
They are the MJ of this era ❤️❤️❤️
Thank god
@@Nor_CALi wdym? It's always a privilege to see them play against each other. They're the best
@@Truelink41 you do know james career was heavily arranged by the nba right? just like bryants was. the nba saw dollar signs and they sold it to you all and you bought it up like candy.
@@chrisfaub4071 What are you talking about?
@@chrisfaub4071 ur stupid
Akron Boys, born in the same hospital, show respect to each other. I love it, I love this rivalry and I also love the highlights they've contributed to the fans all around the world. Best wishes to both
No matter what I’m proud of both of them
One of the best front offices in the league, the greatest shooter ever, this team will be back next season.
Tuff to tell they never had to answer so many off season questions like they do now.
People are such casuals saying the dynasty is over when they literally won last year lmao. Klay needs to really improve next season, but the core imo will remain forever, we for sure got to bomb this bench tho. Iggy is taking up space he got to just retire, Poole for sure got to go, Lamb, JGreen, Baldwin, all of them dudes got to go besides GP2, Donte, and maybe Kuminga.
@@InfamousAWJ you see u get rid of the bench than what lol what’s ur plan they never had to do that it’s a lot harder than you make it seem. Green wants to get paid big, is he worth it? Klay is older now he isn’t gonna magically get better.
@@wolfiejr.5992 Then what? We are more than capable of getting a new bench, we passed up so many opportunities this year alone. Klay needs to work on his game rehab to even be 70-80 percent of what he was. He still needs time and age isn’t what’s slowing him down. There’s still hope.
@Wolfie Jr. you have to give Klay the benefit of the doubt considering who is. The main 3 gotta stick together, Wiggins is the second most reliable player on the team, Looney is a rebounding mechine, Kaminga plays great when he gets minutes, and Moody, GP2, and Donte are some of the best 3 and D players in the league. What the warriors really need is to stop messing around and finally trade for Myles Turner. We need a center who can gaurd the paint and space the floor.
Mad respect 🙏 to two legendary men of the NBA NBA all time king and 3 pointer king
Now that's showing respect and brotherly love and respect 🙏🏽👏🏾🙌🏾👌🏾
2 legends. 2 HOFs. 2 Goats of this era. 2 iconics!
If this was the last time we ever saw them face off in a playoff series, then hats off. Both have won and lost multiple times against each other over the years, all love to two of the greats who have transformed and pushed the game of basketball forward
Let’s go lakers back in the Western Conference Finals 💜💛 may the best team win Denver🤝
the nba will win like they do almost every year. wherever they think the most dollars will be thats what they will arrange.
Congrats, Lakers. Hope you get the chip. Go Warriors. Go Gold blooded. We'll come back next season.
Hopefully, the Lakers keep Larry in California.
You're a good sport my man.
Nuggets taking it. Seeing how they play no one’s gonna beat them. There very very good. They also got a center that can contest with a.d
All these golden state fans coming outta nowhere lmao. Where were you when the oracle arena seats were empty?
GG Bud 💛
Seeing two of the greats, LeBron and Steph hugging it out made me tear up. Amazing rivalry and friendship at the same time.
When bitter rivalry became family because of familiarity. Both LeBron and Curry showed the meaning and essence of respect.
That's probably the last time we see this two go against each other. What a game.. 💜💛💜💛 now the Nuggets.. let's go💪
Nothing but mutual respect for these two, two of the greatest we will ever see compete.
0:20 “I helped you guys win with my usual non-hall-of-fame 9 points. Pick me up next year because the Warriors will not resign me.” - Lamemond Green
How about we blame the two guys that we pay to score. Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson?
The energy exchainged so genuine put a smile on my face.
Two legends of the game, absolute joy to watch these two battle over the years.
as the great words from steph curry once said. "You don't wanna see us next year." this year was weird af. onto the next lol
As a Warriors fan, i respect those Lakers Players that very played well and respectful moments especially LeBron. I hope the lakers would win and bounce back Warriors in the next future years.
As a Warriors fan, I am surprised the dubs made it this far. Too tough to repeat every year.❤
Honestly beautiful seeing that much love between competitors. You know they really wanna destroy each other on the court but that's exactly why they respect each other so much. Dope.
Nothing lasts forever!
Im still a warriors fan! The joy and excitement that this team has brought us throughout the years...
The ups and downs and the marvelous and wonderful magic that we witnessed. I really do not feel bad
that the warriors lost, actually I am surprised they even got this far this season, considering all
the challenges. The reason I love this team so much is because of the fact that I saw brother working together
without the need for a serious ego check or excessive attitude being displayed and the unselfishness..
Kerr and Steph chiefly are very exemplary in my book. A warriors fan forever, thank you WARRIORS, even
if ''this is it''! You guys are what a real championship team should be to me.
Great show of respect from both teams.
This is what sportsmanship should be both these teams are amazing and to me this was the NBA finals
Tell that to the fanbases.
@@tigertank06 I know it's crazy how far they go sometimes
@@ShaneosaurusGaming fans = fanatics
Yes but if lebron not win he would exit earlier he just win that's why he did not but most of the time he exit earlier
End of an era. Love the Warriors, been a fan my whole life. Never thought I would live to see one championship 10 years ago.
@Kay A what a difference a year can make but let’s look at the declining athletic ability of Draymond and Klay. They aren’t getting any younger. Kerr played the big 3 too many minutes and didn’t give guys like Kuminga any minutes. He’s in love with small ball which doesn’t work against the elite big men of the NBA. Their championship run last year they played none of the elite big men. This year they got exposed. If this same Lakers team went up against us last year, we would have the same result. I give a lot of credit to the Lakers for making huge improvements at the deadline and we gave away a big man with plenty of upside for another guard. WOW
It’s not over. Everyone said the same thing after 2019 finals.
We are too used to making the finals every playoffs that we forgot that it’s normal to lose. If we make the needed changes we can bounce back.
Curry still has a few years left in him. The dynasty will continue as long as steph is a warrior.
@@Orvvv200 Curry does have a few years but Klay and Draymond are definitely out of their prime. I hope you’re right though. Nothing would make me happier than being wrong about the Warriors.
@@silver6214yeah, curry has about 4 maybe 5 years left in the tank and klay and draymond aren’t playing as dominant as they used to but it was great to see the dynasty they built and the runs they went on- lakers fan btw the rivalry between lebron and steph tho will always be remembered
I'm a spurs fan but I fw both of these teams. I wanted lakers to win but it hurts seeing steph lose. That man was alone out there
Alone is absolutely right. Klay was a no show. Green could not do his thing without the spark from another splash brother. JP in my humblest casual fan opinion was OVER PAID TOO SOON.
@@dreambuilder3283 definitely
The Game will definitely miss this Guy From fans to players
The 2 best players of the 2010s.
Lebron has been since 2010 but Curry since 2015. Both of them till today. 2 legends.
Lebron was one of the best players before 2010 but he didn't have much playoffs experience
Nah Lebron is the best Curry is the 2nd best...but they both GOATS in they own right.
In 2033 We might say the same thing to Giannis and Luka if they ever faced each other in the playoffs.
@@waltjones6927 that’s literally what I meant.
I’m glad that I got to witness another Lebron vs Steph and GS playoff series. They have had a lot of memorable matchups and this was another classic. I appreciated it even more, because I think this will be the last playoff matchup.
Before one of them retires, can we please have them be teammates and get a championship together. The true legends of this era.
Amazing! Some all time greats. I love competition but I also love to see these guys show each other love. It really is a brotherhood
that's so genuine I love them both
Nothing but mutual respect, you've got to admire that!
Great examples of sportsmanship, for the younger generation.
I hope this isn't the last time we see them in the playoffs together, but if it is... THANK YOU BOTH
2 all time greats of the game. Just appreciate it
Good to see them go from hating each other to respecting each other. There was so much animosity during the Cavs and Warriors rivalry days.
All the feels seeing this. Takes me back to 2015-2018. Even though my Cavs only won 1 of 4, those consecutive years of these two guys (plus the others) facing off in the Champs was such a great time. Now want to see Lakers-Celts and see Bron get his 5th ring.
Going to miss these 2 Legends when they retire. The game is not going to be the same.🎉🎉
Two of the greats
The love is real they’re all like family at this point god bless them all 🎉
That is crazy how much these two love each other it's bigger than basketball I can just tell 💯💯💯🐐🐐
That hug was Sus with Draymond
Go Lakers ! 💜💛 I love this team 😍
Im rooting for them to lose to the nuggets. Go nuggets! And if they get past the nuggets, go eastern conference champ! 😂
@flakko9145 Im petty so I hope the nuggets win 4-0. And I dont even like the nuggets. 😂
so does the nba thats why they are where they are.
True Legends showing great respect to each other is a beauty to the highest level in eyes of millions of sport fanatics...just ❤
This is the best battle of the legends hope there will be another
Awesome to see these two legends for 6 games! Probably never see them face off again.
Adin Ross side line in the beginning 🤣
He told schroder he would be courtside for the game if he could get his game worn jersey after they win
Who?
Just noticed him 😂
Such a dweeb lmao
@@Zach-gn2ly ohhh gotcha
The rivalry between them is goated… out generation was lucky to watch these dudes battle
That was called respect congrats lakers and congrats both team for making a really good series
Two legends
Great series. Great legends. Great respect. Congrats to the Lakers
Aw this hugging is crazy.
Two Legends showing respect for each other!!!!!!
🎊🥂🎉 As a Lakers fan, I have to admit I didn't think they were going to win game 6.
Nuggets are going to be tough 😫
As a Lakers fan aswell, I saw how Denver played against the Sun's and honestly I'm getting nervous about this but you might never know.
i hate to be that guy but nuggets are the better team, and they have homecourt
@@EpicMalick Y'all forget how we OWN nuggets? Suns had no one for Jokic. AD is the answer.
@@johnstamos4325 they’re most likely losing in 6 or less ,stop it. Nuggets have the size to match unlike the warriors.
@@johnstamos4325 who stopping Murray?
Great respect to these two teams!
Game recognizes game. What an incredible series. Hopefully these two meet again in the playoffs.
The respect that they've shown to each other after the game,can't be bought by a championship trophy.That's the true example of a sportmanship right there. Love you guys❤❤❤
Congratulations to the Lakers. One thing I am trying to figure out is that why Kuminga never had any minute in this series? He could help in the offense vs. Lakers.
Same reason Poole didn’t play much. Liability on defense
Kerr doesn’t trust his decision making on offense
LeBron and Curry leading their teams with +30 points. 🔥
LeBron and Curry now 2-3. Another memorable series between these two long-time friends and rivals born in the same Akron, Ohio hospital.
Their names will forever be tied in basketball history.
Imagine no KD?
No, Curry is 1-2 against Bron but Curry and KD are 3-2 against Bron
@@papadiom9260 so 4 for 4
you forgot the play-in steph lost to the lakers also
@@webking185 imagine no ad 😂😂 imagine no kyrie 😂😂 it goes the same....
Como el gran jugar siempre reconoce que también hay otra estrella igual que el con su gran humildad
Amazing that Lebron and Steph were born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio and have met this many times in the playoffs with all the MVPs and rings between them. Mad respect to 2 of the all time greats for being great basketball players but better yet, great human beings…
So glad we had one more Lebron vs Steph playoff series! Now bring on KD!.... wait where is he?
Nothing but Respect to the Warriors. To Dray and Curry. Difficult to win against the Defending Champs but Lakers did it and move on. Congrats Lakeshow. Unto the WCF against Denver. Lets goooooo 🔥💜💛
I’m always gonna be a Warriors fan but this moment made me choke up a bit . Because of this , I’m rooting for the Lakers in the finals .
The admiration between LBJ and Stephen Curry is pure. They both know they are each other's biggest challenge, i wish they teamed up for one season before Bron is gone.
Draymond telling Bron "I'll see you next season" 😂
Two legends will never die .
The Goat Show
Two of the greatest this game has ever seen
Volveremos como el ave fénix WARRIORS forever
LeBron finally gets his revenge. Curry always had the edge, now we here. LFGGGG
Bron would have 2 more rings if the warriors didn't cry to KD and beg him to make an NBA Avengers to stop Bron
Lebron would only have his 2 Miami rings if the league didn't suspend draymond and bogut didn't got injured back in 2016 and if klay didn't got injured in 2019
@@brandonk2528 All i read is "I'm a hater" 🏌🏿♀️
@gphillimo you wrote a hypothetical scenario and I wrote a different one. Who knows which one is right. How to you know he'd have 2 more rings if it wasn't for kd. I think the warriors would have beat them again next year if they just traded for someone slightly better than Barnes they didn't need kd at all. The warriors had kd back then but lebron had AD and westbrook and couldn't make the playoffs. I don't hate on Lebron but the warriors rings are as valid as his if not more
Respect to both greats. I just hope their fans can do the same.
What a night of basketball game that has been even as a Brighton fan
The fact that they hugged twice says it all!!! Respect!! 🫡
Es imposible no querer a lebron, es calidad de ser humano, al igual que curry ♥️
Flight and Clark finna go crazy in their own respective ways🤣🤣🤣
More then legends game changers not to many come along like them 2
Curry had a smile "Finally I can get a few days off this is nice" lol
I love Curry u did it for me last year now it’s Lakers time Now
Curry only one carrying the warriors so sad
The love & respect , because at the end of the day. It's just a game.
Feel sad this two legends will gone to soon hope next seasons they're meet again on playoffs especially james and curry❤️ respect 💙💛
Good game for GS they did all what they could and all my respect to these two brothers and legends Steph Curry and Lebron James❤
Good game? It was their worst game of the series. Nobody but Curry showed up tonight. Curry cant take on AD Bron and Reaves all by himself
Steph gave everything he had in this playoffs and the rest of the team gave him nothing
He did. But to be objective he is absolutely porous defensively. They attacked him continuously and it showed he was gassed on offense even when he scored a lot he took too many shots and missed alot.
@@islandrepublic9166i mean who else was helping he's not a super hero hes getting rebounds steals he a 6'2 PG what do you want him to do?
@@Inpwmdwa not get torched on the defensive end… and maybe yiu shiuld check on Currys efficiency. Look into it
@@islandrepublic9166 he wasn't bad defensively they were attacking him constantly to tire him because they knew he was the warriors offense but he did a good job on that end and he was even guarding lebron effectively for some possessions in game 4. He was the best player on the court in this series but the next 5 best players were on the Lakers. He still was a Lonnie Walker's career best game away from eliminating the Lakers. His teammates betrayed him he did everything he could with the whole Lakers defense on him
Sportsmanship at its best. Gladiators on the court, but only respect for each other off it.
What a great moment between 2 legends! The greatest of our era! 👏👏👏
