CLEVELAND: LeBron James has continued a friendship with the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry that began two years ago when Curry was in college at Davidson.
Curry, who was born in Akron, was the first-round draft choice of the Warriors last summer and started Tuesday night against the Cavaliers.
With some of the things happening to the Warriors — the controversy surrounding Stephen Jackson and the ongoing speculation about coach Don Nelson's status — James offered Curry some advice.
''I guess there was a little chaos on our team,'' Curry said. ''He's just making sure I was keeping my head straight, working hard and reminding me to get better every day.''
James said that he's a fan of Curry's game and believes he will continue to improve.
Curry, the son of former Cavs guard Dell Curry, didn't arrive with the hype of James, but because of what he accomplished at tiny Davidson College in North Carolina, he came in with some notoriety and expectations — a couple of the reasons James reached out to him.
''I'm all about helping the guys that come after me,'' James said. ''There are guys in the league and I'm all about giving advice. This league could be a lot on a kid coming in. It could be a lot on anybody.''
Tuesday's game was the first time the two squared off against one another on the court. Curry had a playful, yet serious answer when asked about that.
''Friends off the court . . . once you're on the court all that goes out the door,'' he said.
Buzzer beaters
Forward Anderson Varejao was a late scratch for Tuesday's game with a hip injury and probably will not play tonight against the Washington Wizards. . . . Shaquille O'Neal sat out again with a shoulder strain, and it looks as if his situation won't be re-evaluated until later this week.
