周五,这位明星接受了《体育画报》的采访,并罕见地透露了他和老对手兼好友的关系。库里解释说,由于他们的年龄差异和多年的对抗,他与这位传奇人物的关系是“复杂的”。“因为你从参加锦标赛到他来观看比赛,再到我作为一名年轻的新秀来到联盟,他给我建议,告诉我如何度过我作为球员将要经历的一些早期挣扎,再到连续四次参加总决赛,相互对抗,甚至是去年再次参加季后赛。他是一个很棒的家伙,很棒的朋友,很棒的主持人。”伊托尔,回过头来看看这一切是从哪里开始的,真是太神奇了。“
詹姆斯和库里出生在俄亥俄州阿克伦市的同一家医院,相隔不到四年,这是出了名的。从那以后的三十多年里,他们的道路发生了无数次交叉。正如库里所指出的,这段关系一开始是一种导师关系。作为一名新秀,看看《好家伙》。
但随着库里成为MVP和世界上最大牌的明星之一,他们的兴高采烈变得有点敌对。从2015-18赛季开始,库里的勇士队和詹姆斯的勇士队连续四次在总决赛相遇,金州勇士队赢得了三次总冠军,而克利夫兰队赢得了一次总冠军。库里拒绝置评。在2018年总决赛第一场比赛的最后几秒,詹姆斯挡住了库里的上篮,两人交换了意见,比尔·西蒙斯(BillSimmons)和布莱恩·温霍斯特(BrianWindhorst。他们一起参加了2021年全明星赛,在媒体上互相称赞,并注意到他们长期以来对彼此的尊重。还值得注意的是,从2017年时任总统唐纳德·特朗普在推特上开始。
詹姆斯和库里定义了过去20年的篮球生涯,只要他们都在打球,他们的关系就会有竞争的一面。但在一个基本的层面上,我们将始终相互尊重和钦佩对方所取得的成就

Warriors star Stephen Curry says he has a 'complex' relationship with LeBron James
原文:
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry sat down for an interview with Sports Illustrated on Friday and gave some rare insight into his relationship with longtime rival and friend, LeBron James. Curry explained that his relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers legend is "complex" due to their age difference and many years playing against each other.
"It's complex," Curry said. "Becuase you go from playing in the tournament and him coming to watch, to me coming in as a young rookie in the league and him giving me advice on how to get through some of the early struggles that I was gonna go through as a player, to the four Finals appearances in a row, playing against each other, to even last year playing in the playoffs again. He's a great dude, great friend, great competitor, and it's amazing to go back and look at where it all started."
James and Curry were famously born at the same hospital in Akron, Ohio, just under four years apart, and their paths have crossed on countless occasions in the three-plus decades since then. As Curry noted, the relationship started out as something of a mentorship. As a rookie, Curry would even hang out at James' house and watch Family Guy.
But as Curry emerged as an MVP and one of the biggest stars in the world, their relationship became a bit more adversarial. Curry's Warriors and James' Cavaliers met in the Finals four times in a row, from 2015-18, with Golden State winning three titles to Cleveland's one.
At a Halloween party James hosted in 2016, following the Cavaliers' 3-1 comeback in the Finals earlier that year, there were cookies with Curry and Klay Thompson's names on tombstones and reportedly a dummy of Curry on the floor that guests had to step over to get inside. Curry declined to comment. In the closing seconds of Game 1 of the 2018 Finals, James blocked a Curry layup and the two exchanged words. During a 2019 podcast, Bill Simmons and Brian Windhorst note that the Curry-James rivalry is "real."
But once James moved to the Lakers, and the two weren't competing for titles against each other anymore, they became friendly with each other once again. They played together in the 2021 All-Star Game, praised each other in the media and noted the long-time respect they had for one another. It's worth noting also that James notably defended Curry from then-president Donald Trump on Twitter in 2017.
James and Curry have defined the past two decades of basketball, and as long as they're both playing there's going to be a competitive side to their relationship. But at a foundational level, there will always be a mutual respect and admiration for what the other has accomplished.
