NBA stars LeBron James and Steph Curry are determined to lead their teams to more championships, even though they are among the oldest active players. Both stars have four titles and are looking to add more before they retire. However, it has been difficult for them to remain competitive.

Robert Horry, a seven-time champion, recently appeared as a guest on FanDuel TV's Run It Back on Wednesday. Former player Chandler Parsons asked Horry if there was a chance that either James or Curry could catch him in championship count. Given that they are in the latter stages of their careers, Horry doesn't think either player will win three more titles.

"No, I don't think so," Horry said about James and Curry potentially catching him. "It's hard, man.

Horry wasn't a star player but played his role to perfection. The 6-foot-10 forward acknowledged that he was fortunate to have great teammates around him.

"I was really fortunate to play with really, really good duos. I had Clyde [Drexler] and Dream (Hakeem Olajuwon), Shaq [O'Neal] and Kobe [Bryant]. And in San Antonio, I had a trio of Tony [Parker], Manu [Ginobili] and Tim [Duncan]. If you look at OKC [Thunder], the guys at OKC, they're so young. I think that is probably the only team that can really start a dynasty.

But when it comes to James and Curry winning more titles, Horry thinks they have had their run.

"But LeBron [James], I think he got two more years left in him. So, that's a wrap. Draymond [Green], three more years left in him."

LeBron James is set to play his 23rd season in the league at 40 years old. Curry, meanwhile, entered his 17th year.

LeBron James' season debut is approaching, following a positive injury update

Although the season has started, LeBron James has yet to make his debut. The veteran forward missed training camp and preseason games for the LA Lakers due to sciatica. According to early reports, James is expected to play in mid-November.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Dave McMenamin gave a positive update on the future Hall of Famer's injury status. James' recovery from the setback is "moving forward in the right direction."

“I’m told that we’re still in the range of about three more weeks before he would be targeting a return sometime in mid-November. I have been told by multiple sources over the last several days that his rehab and all of the process to get back to that return date is moving in the right direction. So there is good vibes around it.”

LeBron James is an integral part of the team's success, and having him back on the floor is important.
