Stephen Curry has admitted that he tried to recruit LeBron James to join the Golden State Warriors this summer. According to Yahoo Sports, Curry stated that "if anybody didn't try, I think they'd be a fool" when it comes to attempting to recruit a player of James' stature.

There is also information about Curry signing a long-term partnership with Chinese brand Li-Ning in June, as reported by CNBC and CNBC World.
