Los Angeles Lakers news: Neither LeBron James nor Stephen Curry came out with a mind-blowing performance in Team USA’s victory over Canada on Wednesday night. It was a concerted effort by the Americans to take down one of the title contenders for the upcoming Olympics during Wednesday’s high-profile tune-up game.
There was one moment of brilliance between LeBron and Curry during the contest, though, and it comes as no surprise that the play has taken a life of its own. So much so, that James himself just had to react to his in-game link-up with the Golden State Warriors superstar.
Los Angeles Lakers News: LeBron James Hyped Over Stephen Curry Partnership

At one point in the game, LeBron forced a Canada turnover, which led to a fastbreak play between himself and Curry. Steph threw the perfect alley-oop pass to James, who finished the play emphatically with a one-hand flush:

What a moment.

Amid all the hype, LeBron decided to jump in with his own social media take on the now-viral play:
“🧑🏽🍳 X 🤴🏾 IS WHAT YALL BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR! Well we’re here now! LET’S GET IT! Summer time VIBEZ!! 🇺🇸,” James wrote in his post.

Fans can take comfort in the fact that Wednesday’s matchup was just an exhibition contest ahead of the Olympics. Team USA still has a whole tournament ahead of it, which means more on-court action between LeBron and Steph.
