Before the Warriors eventually fell to the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Tuesday night, there was a moment from the game that went viral between the game’s biggest stars. When Stephen Curry was walking on the sideline back to his team’s bench, LeBron James could be seen walking him all the way down to his seat and had something to say to his old rival who was subbing.
After the game, Curry explained what the interaction was and it was nowhere near as serious as people thought.
“He was just joking around about having to guard me all the way till I got to the bench,” Curry told reporters after Golden State’s 117–112 loss.
