Stephen Curry has been handing out L’s to many players over the years – Kobe Bryant was the first one to hand him a big fat one.
Kobe Bryant had a stellar 20-year career that spanned two millennia and three decades. During that time, he went toe to toe with just about 60% of the NBA’s top 75, and one of them was Stephen Curry. When he came to the league, Steph was just a scrawny kid who was supposed to be Monta Ellis 2.0.

He was just a fiery personality trying to show off. But the players did notice that and put him straight, and unlike certain youngsters of today, he listened.
