Stephen Curry vs. Kobe Bryant Felt Like a Passing-of-the-Torch Moment
By Jason McIntyre
Kobe Bryant hounded Stephen Curry in the backcourt, and all the way into the frontcourt, harassing the Golden State point guard with the Lakers trailing by 31 in a preseason game. It was probably one of those good-natured, one-superstar-to-another moment of levity.
And then Curry stepped back and sank a 30-foot 3-pointer and spun to look at Kobe.
And 36-year old Kobe smiled and patted on the 26-year old Curry on the butt.
The NBA starts in about two weeks. Get excited.
