    Lol those pencil necks would get their asses kicked by 6'8 250 Lebron and 6'10 260 Love.

    Love may be too slow to guard Thompson, but that doesn't nearly offset the advantage L&L would have in the paint.

    Curry would be injured after one slap from LBJ.

    He's not necessarily wrong. 2 on 2 is a completely different game than 5 on 5. There's no help defense, the court is completely wide open. It's a shootout. Lebron would have an easy time, but Love defending on the perimeter is a big weakness in that setting. Lebron and Love could lob it to each other all day, though.

    The second Curry or Thompson miss a shot, it's over. Even if LeBron and Love don't make everything, Curry and Thompson would never get a rebound the rest of the game.

    The article quotes Curry as saying "it could happen." The article title seems to be misleading.

    Curry and Klay would have no chance to defend Lebron or Love.

    Curry has been getting way too close to Chandler Parsons. Parsons arrogance and me is the 100% best is rubbing off slowly on Curry ;)

    Sounds legit. I did this in NBA2k and all I did was step back 3s the whole game.

    Its debateable

    however

    Lebron beats him in 5 on 5.. As in real basketball, which is a totally different game then 2v2

    and that..

    that is un-debatable

    Curry has been yapping a lot lately. First the body-odor thing and now this. Dude needs to tone it down before he publicly says something regrettably stupid.

    In NBA JAM Curry is on fire. I beat the game by just shooting twos every single time down. lol @ dunking for a single point, that's inefficient.

    It's not even debatable whether it's 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 or whatever.
