Golden State Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry added to the LeBron James fire Tuesday by taking a shot at “The King.”

In an interview for "The Dan Patrick Show,” Curry said that he is a better offensive player that LeBron James and that he can make more plays happen with his distribution.
"A better offensive player, me or LeBron? That's the first time I've ever been asked that question. Me," said Curry.
"He obviously demands a lot of attention on the floor, but I like to say I can distribute, get my teammates involved and be a playmaker as well.”
Greg Monroe On The Trade Block?
Curry raises some arguments with his statement, but the stats speak for themselves in this case. James ranks above Curry in points per game as he ranked third in the league at 27.1, while Curry was seventh at 24.0. Curry did have the numbers to back up that he could be considered the better playmaker seeing how he averaged more assists per game with 8.5, which was fifth in the league, while LeBron was 11th with 6.4.
Both players ranked in the top 10 in player efficiency as James was second at 29.40 and Curry was 10th at 24.13.
Lbj is a dominant player can score in more ways and his jump shot is definitely getting better, but still not as good as Curry obviously..
