LeBron James doesn't view Stephen Curry as a rival despite their matchups in two straight Finals and their status with each winning multiple MVPs.

"I don't have a rivalry with Steph Curry," James said after Saturday's All-Star practice session. "There's no way you can say, 'Let's talk about rivalries,' and you say, 'Bird and Magic. Carolina, Duke. Ohio State, Michigan,' and then say 'LeBron and Steph.'

"It's disrespectful to those other three that I just named that you would even try to put us in the class with that. We haven't had enough battles, and who's to say we will have future battles. We'll see, but to put us in a category with [them], it's impossible. You can't do it."

James even feels there's not a team rivalry between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors.
