Despite their increasingly advanced age, LeBron James and Stephen Curry continue to dominate on the NBA floors, while adopting a role as mentors for the younger generation. A rising star in the league has also revealed that he has received their compliments this season!
Seven years ago, they were both on the podium for MVP votes, and began a period of rivalry that would span several years. Today, LeBron James and Stephen Curry always see their names mentioned in the race for the trophy. Models of professionalism and longevity, they are now increasingly becoming father figures for young players arriving in the NBA.
LeBron, Curry and many more Darius Garland fans
Aware of their status as role models, LeBron and Steph try to continue to inspire the stars of tomorrow, whether on the floor or behind the scenes. This includes advice, or sometimes even congratulations for the elements that deserve it. This is precisely the case of Darius Garland, who could for his 3rd NBA season know his first selection at the All-Star Game thanks to his pretty averages (19.8 points, 8.0 assists)!
Steph (Curry) contacted me several times to say well done. Donovan Mitchell too, his compliments are really cool. And then there are some of my good friends, my big brothers in the league, like Tristan (Thompson), Bron, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard. They tell me to continue like this. It’s pretty cool to see some of the top players supporting me like that.
Congratulated by many top players, Garland would therefore have been congratulated on several occasions by Curry. This can partly be explained by the fact that the two men occupy the same position in their respective teams, but also by the participation of the young point guard in the Select Camp du Chef in 2017. Anyway, the latter greatly impresses this season, and fully deserves such treatment from his illustrious elders!
Exploding this year, Darius Garland enjoys the strong support of many superstars in the league, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry. No wonder he displays such confidence on the pitch with that!
