Stephen Curry picks Kobe Bryant over LeBron James as best small forward ever

If anyone had any concerns about whether the Steph Curry-LeBron James rivalry was softening in the latter years of their career, fear not.

Perhaps it was the two sides rekindling the rivalry in the postseason this year and LeBron getting the better of him but Steph has been a little feisty this offseason. After winning the American Century Championship earlier this summer, he credited losing to the Lakers for helping his golf game.

Now, more recently, Curry offered another not-so-subtle shot at LeBron. In an interview, he was asked to make his all-time starting five and not only did he not include LeBron, he picked Kobe Bryant over him.
