  "summary": "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.\n\nLeBron James ultimately chose not to join the Warriors, instead signing with the Philadelphia 76ers. Curry expressed that seeing a player like James get to choose his own next chapter was good for the league as a whole.\n\nThere is also information about Curry signing a long-term partnership with Chinese brand Li-Ning in June, as reported by CNBC and CNBC World.",
