The Warriors guard said he heard everything after winning his fourth championship ring.<\/p>\n<p>James praised Curry&#8217;s career overall while criticizing Steph Curry in the current NBA. James added, &#8220;As absurd as that seems, he undoubtedly ranks among the best ten players of all time, if not quite there.
