NBA: the rivalry between LeBron James and Stephen Curry is lacking its spark

NBA: the rivalry between LeBron James and Stephen Curry is lacking its spark.

This game just adds to the multiple thrilling matchups that James and Curry have created as opponents. It also brings up the conversation of the rivalry between James and Curry.

James and Curry might not be considered the best rivalry

When discussing some of the top rivalries in the NBA, many come to mind. James and Curry have met multiple times in the NBA Finals, dating back to when James played for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Christmas Day was another example of the great battle in which the two players dueled out on the hardwood. James and Curry combined for 69 points shooting 26-of-46 in field goals and 16 assists.

Some people give into the recency bias and proclaimed the rivalry between James and Curry the greatest rivalry of all time. ESPN insider Bobby Marks had his reason for why James vs. Curry isn’t the top rivalry or doesn’t even crack the top.

He told First Take: “I think when I hear the word rivalry, I hear the word dislike. I see two players that genuinely like each other, certainly off the court and on the court here. I’m going to go all the way back to those Magic-Bird teams, Lakers-Celtics teams.

“I’m even going to throw out Knicks-Bulls, Ewing-Jordan. Those are the teams that dislike each other. I just don’t see that here even with LeBron in Cleveland and now with the Lakers here. I just don’t see that dislike on the court here.”
