STEPHEN CURRY had no room for LeBron James in his all-time NBA team.
Even without LeBron in his lineup, it’s hard to imagine many teams stopping Curry’s fab five.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, the Golden State Warriors star revealed his dream lineup that he had to be included in.
Curry responded: “I’m at PG, I’m going with Magic (Johnson), we’ll play hybrid guards.”
“You got (Michael) Jordan, you got Dirk (Nowitzki) spacing the floor, shooting the ball and you got the big man, the Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal), holding it down. So, that’s a solid lineup I think.”
This team contains no less than 20 NBA Championship wins, twelve MVP awards, 53 All-Star appearances, and three Hall of Famers.
And yet, some will argue that it could have been better.
LeBron is an eighteen-time All-Star and arguably one of the greatest players of all time.
Perhaps Curry wasn’t willing to select any players, such as LeBron, who are still active and are, therefore, still his competitors.
Or perhaps he felt this group of players would work well as a team.
Either way, some fans were left puzzled at LeBron’s absence, with one commenting: “Curry picking Dirk is a dig at LeBron because the Mav’s took down the Heat for Dirk’s only title. Curry still pretty spicy after the 2016 fiasco when the Cavs (and Refs) beat that 73-9 Warriors team.”
While another said bluntly: “If you don’t have Kobe or LeBron in your 5 just shut up.”
Kobe Bryant was another who many felt should’ve been included in Curry’s list, along with Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to name but a few.
Not that everyone took issue with the lineup, such as one fan who commented: “this is an unbeatable starting 5. Shaq dominant, magic game changing, dirks shot is literally unguardable, Jordan, and Steph is the best 3 point shooter of all time.”
Wherever you stand on Curry’s dream team, it’s definitely “a solid lineup.”

In a dramatic turn of events, the tech world is abuzz with Elon Musk’s latest vow to reveal the true nature of Bill Gates. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has always been known for his outspoken nature, but this time, he seems to be taking it to a whole new level. In a series of tweets, Musk declared his intention to expose Gates, saying, “I’m gonna show you who he really is.”
The rivalry between Musk and Gates isn’t new. Over the years, they’ve clashed on various issues, from the viability of electric vehicles to the importance of renewable energy. However, Musk’s recent statements suggest that their differences go beyond business and technology.
The Catalyst
This latest conflict appears to have been sparked by Gates’ comments on electric vehicles. Gates, who has been a vocal critic of Musk’s ambitions in the past, recently expressed skepticism about the feasibility of long-haul electric trucks, a market Musk has been actively pursuing with Tesla’s Semi truck. Musk, known for his sharp retorts, didn’t hold back. He took to Twitter to express his displeasure and hint at more to come.
“It’s Time for the Truth”
In his tweets, Musk alluded to having inside knowledge about Gates that the public isn’t aware of. “People need to know the truth. It’s time to reveal who Bill Gates really is,” Musk tweeted. This has left many wondering what Musk might be hinting at. Is it personal, professional, or something entirely different?
Reactions and Speculations
The tech community and the public at large have been buzzing with speculation since Musk’s tweets. Some believe it’s just another case of Musk’s bravado and penchant for drama. Others, however, are genuinely curious about what revelations might come to light.
“Elon Musk has always been a maverick. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, and if he says he has something to reveal, it’s worth paying attention to,” said tech analyst Sarah Thompson.
On the other hand, supporters of Bill Gates have come to his defense, emphasizing his contributions to technology and philanthropy. “Bill Gates has done more for the world than most people could ever dream of. Musk’s claims are baseless and an attempt to distract from his own controversies,” said an anonymous source close to Gates.
What’s Next?
As of now, Bill Gates has not publicly responded to Musk’s tweets. Whether this will escalate into a full-blown feud or fizzle out remains to be seen. Musk has promised to reveal more details soon, and the world is watching closely.
One thing is certain: when two of the world’s most influential tech moguls clash, it’s bound to make headlines. The coming days and weeks will likely bring more developments in this saga, and the tech world will be on the edge of its seat, waiting to see what Musk reveals about Gates.
In an era where transparency and accountability are highly valued, Musk’s promise to “show who Bill Gates really is” could have significant repercussions, not just for the individuals involved, but for the tech industry as a whole. Stay tuned as this story unfolds.
