LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry recreate iconic Michael Jordan-Magic Johnson-Larry Bird image ahead of 2024 Olympics first game (Image Credit: Team USA Basketball’s X account)
Ever since Steph Curry revealed to Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s Andscape that he, LeBron James and Kevin Durant had recreated Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird’s iconic photograph from the 1992 Olympics, fans had been eagerly waiting for it.
USA Basketball finally released the photo on Sunday, moments before the team’s opening game of the 2024 Paris Olympics against Serbia. The photo was captioned:
“A Generational Trio”

The photo is slightly different from the original one. Jordan was sitting in the original picture, with Bird standing to his right and Magic to his left. The 2024 photo has all three players standing, with James at the center, Curry to his right and Durant to the left.
While it hasn’t been confirmed that this is the photo that Steph Curry was talking about, it very likely is. And if something more iconic than this drops, basketball fans across the world will surely have a field day reacting to it as well.
