Stephen Curry recognizes that engaging in a feud with Russell Westbrook doesn’t serve him well.

After Warriors shoot-around Saturday, when asked about Westbrook pretending recently to not know who he is, Curry showed discretion.

“No, I don’t have a response to him,” Curry said. “But if you ask anybody in the league, they’ll probably have an opinion on who they think (should win MVP), whether you agree with it or not. It’s not, obviously, my decision.”

In a radio interview earlier this week with Dan Patrick, Curry picked Houston’s James Harden over Westbrook to win NBA MVP because the 47-22 Rockets have a better record than the 39-29 Thunder. Westbrook then responded to a question about Curry’s pick by asking, “Who is he?”

It was the latest example of the notoriously competitive Westbrook bristling at the mention of someone on the Warriors, who signed Kevin Durant away from Oklahoma City in July. A Durant-less Golden State team plays in Oklahoma City on Monday.
