Steph and Lebron have shown their worthiness on the court, but a new season has arrived, the summer BBQ season. Who will reign as most valuable? Will it be Steph bringing his Carolina rub? Or will Lebron’s bold blend of Cleveland favorites with a splash of Cuban be too much for the golden boy to handle? Our experts are here to break it down.

| Steph Curry | Lebron James | |
| Strengths | Knowledge of BBQ mixed with the hipster trendy dishes of the bay area could produce some savory side dishes | Ingredients like the fresh mid-west beef and Miami fish selection will definitely play a big factor |
| Signature Dish | Sources tell us that Steph is a pasta man, so he might go for a 3 cheese bowtie or possibly even some curry farfalle | Look for cold start from Lebron, maybe starting people off with a well seasoned ceviche to get everyone’s palette going |
| X-Factor | Riley Curry is always a crowd favorite | If the pierogi makes an appearance from the James camp, it might be tough for Steph to top the Cleveland classic |
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Lookout for Lebron’s Chicken a la King going head to head with Steph’s Curry Chicken.
CONVERSATION: Steph’s quickfire comments always heat up any room he steps into, while Lebron’s ability to chase down a guest with some authoritative conversation will surely leave all company in awe.
CLOTHING: While Curry might be rocking his new found dad shoes, we found Lebron sometimes has a tough time deciding between his Cleveland cashmere or Miami muslin.
CONCLUSION: Steph has to stick to what he knows in order to win this matchup, the trifecta. His BBQ, bay area seafood, and pre game pasta could be worthy of MVP status. While Lebron must try and counter with his hearty Midwest flavors and scrumptious sides. Who will be the ultmate summer BBQ MVP? You decide. Leave a comment below and let us know what you think!
