Over the last year, there have been a lot of rumors about the possibility of the two teaming up before the end of their careers.

In a recent interview with ESPN's Malika Andrews, Curry was asked about the rumors.

Andrews: "You won a gold medal. Fans want to know is there anyway we'll see it in the NBA?"

Curry: "Probably not."

James and Curry have faced off in the NBA Finals four times (when James was with the Cleveland Cavaliers).

They were also teammates on Team USA this past summer.

Curry also added: "I think the what ifs and all that type of stuff. We just kind of leave that for whatever platform people want to talk about it. We just hoop."
