Steph Curry and LeBron James get into playful disagreement over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' image

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" has been on repeat since its release in May, and Stephen Curry is tired of it.

The song, a popular diss track toward Drake from the feud between the two rappers earlier this year, is an upbeat hit with West Coast flavor. Because of that, it's become a favorite to liven up the arena before and after sports games.

Curry, though, wants to listen to some new tunes, as the Warriors and Team USA star has heard Lamar's track numerous times over the past few months. LeBron James, on the other hand, is still enjoying the hit.

The two shared a playful exchange about the song Wednesday at the United States' exhibition game against Serbia. Here's what the two had to say about Lamar's track.

Curry and James have opposite opinions on Lamar's "Not Like Us," as became evident Wednesday. The Team USA teammates were caught on video sharing a funny moment related to the track at the U.S. vs. Serbia exhibition.

"Damn with this song," Curry said. "It's not the only song in America."

James, however, told Curry that he loves the song. He's still jamming to the hit even after a few months of constant replays.

The 39-year-old Lakers superstar has been tuned into the rap game for years now, taking on roles in both Drake and Lamar's career. He doesn't seem to have an allegiance to either side of the beef, but he clearly enjoys Lamar's hit, which seemingly gave Lamar the win in the feud.

James has been seen partying to Lamar's songs multiple times over the past couple of months, but he's also tied to Drake. He's featured in the "Forever" music video and has walked out with the Canadian rapper at his show before.

Are Steph Curry and Drake friends?

Drake and Curry do have a close relationship, with the rapper shouting him out on multiple songs and at shows.

The two had a friendly face-to-face courtside at the 2019 NBA Finals when the Warriors played the Raptors. Drake wore a Dell Curry Raptors jersey to Game 1, and Toronto won the series.

Curry was also name-dropped in Lamar's "Meet the Grahams," which was another diss directed at Drake. Curry and James were mentioned in the same line due to their friendship with Drake.
