LeBron: You can't compare my rivalry with Steph to all-time classics
Despite facing the two-time MVP in each of the last two NBA Finals, LeBron James doesn't think there's much of a rivalry between him and Steph Curry.
"I don't have a rivalry with Steph Curry," LeBron told ESPN's Chris Haynes. "There's no way you can say, 'Let's talk about rivalries,' and you say, 'Bird and Magic. Carolina, Duke. Ohio State, Michigan,' and then say 'LeBron and Steph.'
"It's disrespectful to those other three that I just named that you would even try to put us in the class with that. We haven't had enough battles, and who's to say we will have future battles? We'll see, but to put us in a category with (them), it's impossible. You can't do it."
LeBron went on record earlier this season saying there was little contention between the Cavaliers and Warriors, a belief many disagreed with, including Golden State's Draymond Green.
"Yeah I think it's a rivalry. Just me though," Green said. "It's definitely fun. A team that you beat and beat you. It's definitely fun."
With both teams currently atop their respective conferences, it may only be a matter of time before the two squads face one another in June again.
