LeBron James and Stephen Curry will
meet again in the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year, but don’t call
them rivals.
James was asked about his
controversial comments made after Curry won his second consecutive most
valuable player award, where he questioned the meaning of the MVP trophy and
noted that there is sometimes a difference between “best player in the league”
and the “most valuable.”. James, however, admitted that he made a mistake
answering the reporter’s question in the first place.
“First of all, I made the mistake by
even answering the question because I knew where it was going to go, and I guarantee
how it was phrased to Steph wasn’t how I answered the question. So obviously
his reaction was what it was. And I’ve been there before as well. So Steph was
definitely the MVP of our league and is the MVP in our league and is a great
basketball player, and what he does for this league is amazing.
Then the question was asked if I had a
vote what would the difference be between most valuable and MVP, and I gave my
opinion. So obviously you guys ran with it,” said James.
He also believes that there’s no
rivalry between him and Curry.
Then again, this isn’t the first time
LeBron has shot down the rivalry narrative in the NBA. Back in 2013, James said
that he believes there’s no “real rivalry” anywhere in the league.
