Did LeBron James kiss Steph Curry? Debunking the rumors behind viral photo of two NBA superstars

Social media is buzzing over a photo of LeBron James purportedly kissing Steph Curry. The photo appears to be from their previous battles in the NBA Finals.

As expected, the photo quickly made waves all over the internet the second it was posted. Fans have continually shared the photo and given their thoughts on if LeBron James actually kissed Steph Curry.

It does not take long to see that this photo of LeBron James and Steph Curry is fake. The account that posted it is a parody, and has done stuff like this before. Most recently they created a fake school photo of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.

The picture was likely created by AI, which is why it looks so real. It doesn't take much to tell that it is fake though. For starters, if it were real, it would have gone viral a long time ago. It was likely posted now just to get a rise out of fans on Twitter.

After taking one look at the account that posted it, it's a clear giveaway that the photo is far from real.
