An NBA insider recently argued that while LeBron James and Stephen Curry boost ratings, they may also contribute to the league's ongoing viewership challenges. The NBA has been navigating a challenging era with declining television ratings.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry share the national spotlight as the Los Angeles Lakers play the Golden State Warriors on Christmas. Before the game, the Lakers superstar pulled off a playful prank on his longtime Warriors rival. James snuck up on Curry while the Golden State guard was warming up and hilariously pretended to block his shot.
