LeBron James’ rumored move to the Golden State Warriors was all hype—according to coach Steve Kerr, it never felt real. While fans and media speculated wildly about a superteam with Steph Curry and Draymond Green, Kerr called it “speculation,” not strategy. Some Bay Area fans even welcomed LeBron’s departure, seeing him as a rival rather than a teammate. Kerr compared the situation to Magic and Bird, arguing that rivalry sometimes fuels the sport’s magic. He’d already told ESPN earlier in July he didn’t think the Warriors were serious contenders for LeBron. The dream officially ended when LeBron signed with the 76ers, leaving the Warriors front office untouched by the frenzy.
