Stephen Curry poked fun at LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving enjoyed every second
Stephen Curry's been having a very relaxed summer break, as the Warriors player has been spotted playing golf, shooting hoops in China and now ... showing off his best LeBron James impression to the amusement of James' teammate, Kyrie Irving.
A video surfaced Sunday showing Curry's moves on the dancefloor during Harrison Barnes' wedding — and the dance moves certainly looked familiar. The video starts off with Curry giving a ferocious look to a mock cell phone, as he pounds his fist in the air to the beat.
Much to the amusement of the crowd around him.
Many on Twitter were quick to point out the moves seemed to be mocking Le King himself. The song, "First Day Out" by Tee Grizzley, can be heard in the background of Curry's video, as well as a widely-seen (and mocked) James workout video, which he posted in June.

James' video launched the #LeBronChallenge on social media, where plenty of fans — and detractors — took to posting their own version online.
The extra sting from Curry's dance moves stems from the fact that James' teammate, Irving, appears to be thoroughly enjoying the impression and can be seen laughing during the video. This comes after a week of reports stating that Irving is asking the Cavaliers to trade him, following the team's loss to the Warriors in this year's Finals.
