Ex-Teammate Blasts LeBron James, Says He’s Not on MJ’s Level.. full details below ⏬
Soon after James was named MVP of the 2024 Paris Olympics basketball tournament, Marbury — James’ teammate at the 2004 Athens Olympics — took to social media to explain why Stephen Curry was robbed of the award.“They gave the MVP to the wrong player,” Marbury wrote.
“Maybe they called out the wrong name by accident. I think we need to try to rewind the moment when [Curry] displayed himself as the best shooter who ever touched the ball. In international ball, if you can’t shoot, you can’t have the ball at the end of the game.”
“I get LeBron is the King to many, but let me say this: when you give him what he doesn’t deserve, you basically say that because of what he’s done, he should receive such a high honor on the biggest stage. No, he didn’t earn it this time.”Both James and Curry were viable candidates to win men’s basketball MVP at the Olympics. While James averaged 14.2 points, 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds, Curry averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the six games in Paris.
