NBA fans received an early look at the upcoming conversation between three of the greatest players in the sport on Tuesday.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant sat down for an “NBA OGs Convo” where they discussed their legacies and picked which skills they’d want to add from each other on NBA Today.
The league previously announced that the full conversation will air on ABC on Christmas Day.
The conversation took place as the trio teamed up to compete in the Paris Olympics, with each player finishing the competition with several memorable moments before they ultimately helped Team USA win a gold medal.
The trio reflected on their NBA journeys, as they’ve all made at least 10 All-Star teams and won at least two championships.
“I think we’ve cemented ourself when it comes to the game of basketball and what we do,” James said (2:00 mark). “But I think the admiration comes from the longevity of being able to wake up every single day and still have the drive to want to be great.”
The three superstars didn’t hesitate to explain which skills they’d want to add from each other.
“Give me KD’s pull-up hesi left, for sure,” James said (2:40 mark).
“Probably with Steph, I would say the quick twitch on the jump shot,” Durant said.
“I’m gonna take LeBron’s IQ,” Curry explained. “Being able to control the tempo and the flow of a game single-handedly is insane.”
The full discussion between Curry, Durant and James will be released on Wednesday.
