OAKLAND, Calif. -- Over the past five years, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul established a bit of a point guard rivalry whenever the Golden State Warriors and LA Clippers linked up.
However, Curry said there was a time early on in his career when he considered Paul -- now a member of the Houston Rockets and the Warriors' opponent in the Western Conference finals -- to be a mentor of his.
The two All-Star point guards worked out together in the summer Curry was taken seventh overall out of Davidson in the 2009 NBA draft.
