“It’s really annoying for me,” Stephen Curry said before a Cleveland-Golden State final — billed as King James Vs. Baby Face Assassin. “That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever. You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.”

Lucky for Adam Silver. Without Curry (and Flash Brother Thompson), the NBA game today would be an abject disaster.
