What do you say to people who think that? In the aftermath of the Draymond Green situation, people are dubbing this the Last Dance because Green’s future with the team is contractually not set in stone. It sounds cliche, but it’s the honest truth.
BRADY STEPH CURRY STATS HOW TO
Learning to lose helped you learn how to win?įor sure.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – JUNE 16: Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green (23), Stephen Curry (30) and Klay Thompson (11) pose for a picture after their 103-90 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 6 to win the NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston, Mass., on Thursday, June 16, 2022.

That was the part that was hardest to build.

Those lessons show up at the biggest moments for us. That’s been a big part of winning, because losing is hard and exposes a lot of things about how you’re made and how resilient you are. Learning how to lose together and still come back the next year stronger. Those are four long years learning how to lose. Losing to San Antonio (in 2013), losing to the Los Angeles Clippers (in 2014), getting over the hump the next year. It’s hard to summarize 11 years into one soundbite, but people don’t realize what those first four years were like missing the playoffs. Can you describe the process of building what’s become a historic team? You guys made winning championships look easy. We have a lot of guys that can do it, we have young guys that have now experienced that stage and know what to expect. The team has different challenges that we have to conquer and different competition that will be out there. How confident are you that this team can be repeat NBA champions? To play for one team my whole career will be special considering that we’ve won along the way. It goes against everything the league has shown over the years. And how we’ve maintained it, adding young guys who figure it out. It obviously helps because we’ve grown and this is what we built. What does this place mean to you and is that true?ĭefinitely true. You’ve said you want to be a Warrior for the rest of your career. We’re still in the fight to be competitive and win more. Other than the context of what we went through the last three years, getting back to that mountaintop, has that sunk in yet? For me, it hasn’t yet.

It’s not something I wake up and think about. How does Curry feel about their odds to repeat, the drama of the past couple weeks, and his future in the game he has revolutionized? He addressed those questions and quite a few more during an exclusive interview Monday.ĭo you ever think about what winning a fifth title will mean, and winning a fourth title has meant, in terms of this team’s place in NBA history? Now 34, the man once dubbed the baby-faced assassin is defying age and logic to lead the charge for the Warriors. Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala could do something this season that only one other foursome in NBA history has done in the last 50 years. Even in the thick of his quest to achieve unprecedented heights, Curry remains down to earth.Īfter a chaotic training camp – filled with long flights and fist fights – Curry will suit up for his 14th season with the Warriors on a mission shared by few in the history of the game. Curry gives a little head nod, a “what’s up” to those passing by and waving. They are stunned to see Steph Curry, the star of the show, sitting on a folding chair for this conversation amid the hallway madness on opening night’s eve. SAN FRANCISCO – The halls inside Chase Center are bustling with TNT broadcast crew and arena workers hurriedly setting up for the Warriors’ season opener against the Lakers on Tuesday night.
