What’s happening this weekend is a historic reunion. Stephen Curry, an All-Star Weekend host with the festivities held in San Francisco and Oakland, will be back on the same stage with his Olympic pals. With LeBron James at 40 and Curry and Kevin Durant at 36, the three don’t know how many more of these they will have. “There ain’t going to be that many times left,” James told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “So you take it all in and you don’t take it for granted. “It’s coming to an end soon.”

Clarkson 3 puts the Jazz up 116-94. 7:44 left. LeBron didn’t get back on defense there — not sure if he was just frustrated or if something happened. Quick Redick timeout, but this one feels over. – 11:08 PM

The Lakers got 3 late made 3’s (two from LeBron, one from Hachimura) and a dunk from Hachimura to trim what had grown to an 11-point deficit to 5, before Utah got a 3 just ahead of the buzzer to take a 64-56 lead into the half. – 10:06 PM

Redick said that LeBron and Reaves are both available to play (Doncic was upgraded to probable earlier).
Expect them to start alongside Hayes and Hachimura, with Vanderbilt, Knecht, Len, Goodwin and Milton playing off the bench.
Finney-Smith and Vincent are out. – 7:38 PM

More on this storyline
Because there were 22 games over four straight NBA Finals, Curry said a “healthy resentment and appropriate fear” developed for the guy whose signed jersey hung up in his old bedroom. “All you think about is just winning,” Curry said. “So, yeah, it was petty. It was competitive. Trash talking. All the above. “[But] there’s always respect. I didn’t like the player. The person’s always great. You just hate when he has a jersey on wearing No. 23.” -via ESPN / February 14, 2025
Curry said he did not reach out to James to feel things out before Paul and the Lakers eventually told the Warriors that James wanted to remain with L.A. “Like any talented high-IQ basketball player, whether it’s LeBron, whether it’s KD, whether it’s me, whether it’s AD, whoever you put him on any team, you should be able to figure it out,” Curry told ESPN about the blockbuster trade scenario that was ultimately torpedoed before ever lifting off. “That’s as far as it got from a year ago. Because it sounded outlandish when I first heard about it. I never thought he’d leave the Lakers. And I obviously said I never really wanted to leave here.” -via ESPN / February 14, 2025
LeBron James and Stephen Curry played their last NBA Finals against each other in 2018 with James and the Cavaliers losing for the third time in four Finals to Curry’s Warriors. The idea that the two could ever team up together would’ve been far-fetched when they were vying for the same NBA throne. “I mean, s—, when you’re in a dogfight and there’s one guy that’s trying to stop you from reaching your goals, you’re going to dislike that person,” James told ESPN. “He disliked me, I disliked him because we were both fighting for what the f— we wanted, and that’s the Larry O’Brien Trophy.” -via ESPN / February 14, 2025
