Whose career would you rather have? LeBron or Curry?

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a massive first-round upset. The Lakers entered the playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference. However, the team showed the Memphis Grizzlies that seeding means nothing. As the team took down the number two team in the West. Now the Lakers have their sights set on another series victory. However, this time, James and company will have to take down the reigning champions.

The Warriors were also in an opening series as an underdog. The team faced off with the hottest team in the league, the Sacramento Kings. The Kings attempted to look the part of an experienced team. However, it was the Warriors that used their playoff experience to overcome the team that lights the beam. The stage is set for one of the biggest series matchups that isn't happening in the Conference Finals. On Monday, James took time with the media during the Lakers shootaround to discuss the series.

LeBron James Respects Steph Curry's Game

James discussed how the two top stars have a lot of similarities. "We're two of the most competitive players that have ever played this game, and we want to etch our names in the history books as much as we can. … I got nothing but the greatest respect for Steph." It seems as if there will be no trash talk from either team leading up to the start of the series. Which is something both teams dealt with in their first-round matchups. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, they didn't understand the term bulletin board material while playing the Lakers.

James and Curry are on the Mount Rushmore of the greatest players of the last decade. Now it seems that one may end the other's chance at a final championship. This series could even be the last time we see the Warriors big three on the court together. However, the time to get emotional isn't right now. Now is the time to lock in and take care of business.
