Signed Live: Stephen curry” Durant+ LeBron has officially struck a lifetime deal” they could unite again….
Phoenix: Once located, a trading card autographed by NBA players LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers is anticipated to “easily” approach six figures.
Arguably the three most famous Americans signed a rare 1/1 card for Topps following their gold medal victory against France.
“This card pays tribute to the incredible moment that we saw during the Olympics where three of the greatest active basketball players combined to take home the gold medal,” Clay Luraschi, senior vice president of product at Topps, told ESPN.
“This particular card is special because you have your regular version and then you have an autograph version. There’s been many different autograph cards throughout basketball trading card history, but this is the first time these three players have signed the same card. So, it makes it very unique.
I think the card is easily six figures,” Ken Goldin, founder and CEO of Goldin Auctions, also told ESPN.
Paris was likely the last time we saw the historically great trio team-up, as all three stars will likely be at the end or nearing completion of their careers when the 2028 Olympics travel to Los Angeles.
If they unite again on the court remains to be seen, though there’s clearly a healthy amount of mutual respect among the legends.
“KD is one of the all-time greats,” James said via Andscape.”If you look at his silhouette, look at his skill, he is one of the best players we have ever seen play the game of basketball. No matter your opinion about him or whether you like him, if you really just look at basketball and say basketball player talent, he is out of this world.
Curry’s game-winning basket late in the victory over France, according to Durant, was the best heat-check he had ever witnessed. “I’ve seen so many [heat checks] from him now,” Durant remarked following the contest. “But that was — on this stage, his first Olympics, the world watching, especially after what he did last game [against Serbia], to follow it up again, that’s probably the greatest.”
