This is how I'd look at a rivalry:

Can you swap out the players and each squad still be pretty solid. Curry probably couldn't get the Cavs past Indiana. Bron gets the Dubs to the Finals...possibly without even needing KD if Iguodala is healthy. Steph is a great cog on a legendary squad but he's chasing lots of historical greats. Bron is only chasing MJ.

That Cavs team was tailored for Lebron. We see what Steph can do with a team that was built around him....

Steph's style of play allows him to work better with elite players. LeBron is too ball dominant to flow in an offense like that.

However, Steph wouldn't be able to drag a middling team very far. He can make a good team unbeatable. LeBron can make a below average squad very competitive but he seems less valuable when surrounded by more talent. Diminishing returns.

Curry was carrying the warriors to the playoffs when david lee was his second best player in the west
