This era of NBA basketball has largely been defined by three players: Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry and Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant. Only Curry has stayed on one team throughout his career, but battles between the three — and with two of them on the same team — never lost their intensity as Durant and LeBron switched teams.
Now, on Christmas Day 2024, the James-Curry-Durant era is slowly dwindling to an end. LeBron has spoken about retirement many times, Curry made his first comments on the matter recently and Durant is not far behind.
