For years, people have talked aboutStephen Curryâs rivalry with LeBron James. The latter took over the NBA from the gate, while the other became the most dominant player in the league a little later.
These two NBA legends have been tied from the very day they were born â literally. They were born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio, and went on to become two of the greatest players of all time.
Their rivalry keeps going strong even this deep into their careers. Thatâ why NBA legend Kevin Garnett believes itâs time people start appreciating their greatness instead of trying to put one over the other.
Kevin Garnett Praises The LeBron James â Stephen Curry Rivalry
âI think we need to sit back and appreciate that weâre watching two of the greatest play, and their teams play,â Garnett said on his show. âItâs nice to see these two, these two dynamics go against each other. When we sit back and watch these two, they would have either won or stood in each otherâs way of winning. And thatâs how I look at it. The things LeBron has accomplished, and affected the game from a cultural standpoint, from people wanting to be like, play like, style of play, taking away from other styles, coming into a whole new generation.â
âThen have it taken from you,â The Big Ticket added. âLike, now itâs a Steph Curry age, where everybody wants to shoot the ball from distance and have accuracy. And youâre being measured off of that. You know, great point guard play now is about how far you can shoot it out and how consistent you can do that. But Steph Curry has changed the culture and how we see basketball and itâs dope to see these two generational talents kind of go at it.Weâre going to go back to these games right here and itâs gonna be biblical.â
At the end of the day, thereâs no point in trying to compare or determine whoâs better. Both are all-time greatest on their respective crafts, so maybe itâs time we just start appreciating them instead of putting them against each other.
