It seems difficult to see the Golden State Warriors as NBA ring contenders in 2025, but their leader starts the season with that intention
Stephen Curry has already achieved everything in the world of basketball. With the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics with Team USA, he now has the only thing he was missing. After winning 4 NBA championships, being a two-time regular season MVP, once Finals MVP, and multiple All-Star and All-NBA selections, one could think that the superstar of the Golden State Warriors no longer has the same motivation as before.
On the contrary. Despite losing Klay Thompson and having a visibly inferior roster than in previous years, Curry hopes to compete for another ring. At 36 years old, the legendary player of the Warriors has not finished his work in the sport and wants to continue growing his legacy.
“I’ve never been a stats guy,” said Curry in the interview, which premiered on Thursday in the latest episode of the “Dubs Talk” podcast. “It’s more that feeling when you come off the court knowing how much you’ve invested in your game during the offseason. There’s always that feeling of being mentally and physically locked in night after night, what it takes to win.”
Curry’s Unstoppable Ambition
“I still love to play. I would love to win another championship. That would be the icing on the cake. I know how hard it’s going to be. I never take those compliments for granted because I know what all is involved,” Curry told Burke. “I take that responsibility seriously and appreciate the opportunity I have.”
“Being here my whole career is a big deal, and being competitive is realistic,” Curry told Burke. “I’m very excited about the challenge ahead.”
