On the most recent episode of “The Book of Basketball 2.0” podcast, The Ringer’s Bill Simmons and ESPN’s Brian Windhorst had an exchange that certainly will be of interest to basketball fans everywhere: Simmons: “We know this — I’m not sure the average human being knows this — but the LeBron-Curry thing is pretty real.” Windhorst: “Oh yeah.” Simmons: “It is not friendly. I think LeBron really has genuine disdain for him. And I think Curry’s kind of like, ‘F–k you, I’ve won as many titles as you have.’ And you could feel it festering in this 2016 (Finals) because there’s this underlying current of LeBron has gone back to Cleveland, the King is back, and then Curry comes in and kind of grabs the crown a little bit. “And more importantly I think to LeBron … became really popular.” Windhorst: “I don’t know if the word jealous is fair because I don’t think LeBron is jealous of anybody. But he didn’t think it was fair. He’s like, ‘What about me?’”
