Steph Curry might be even harder to guard this season.
Curry addressed reporters during Media Day Monday and looked ready for the season to start.
He said that despite the busy offseason, he’s kept his mindset focused on the game.
“It’s been a fun summer, it’s obviously a different experience going as deep as we did.” I did a lot this summer, traveled a lot and tried to experience new things,” Curry said. “But obviously the priority was to work on my game and stay fresh. A lot of it was working out on the fly. I feel good. I’ve added a few things to my game.”
Curry has made appearances on a handful of television shows, his contract with Under Armour has been extended, and his wife gave birth to another daughter.
His teammates are also confident that Curry is ready for another superstar season.
Draymond Green said that Curry is just “scratching the surface” for how good he can be.
Curry was highly doubted heading into his career. Scouts didn’t think he would ever be a true point guard or even last in the league. Some went as far as calling his Davidson run a fluke.
The 6’3 guard is now an NBA Champion and an MVP. He is considered one of the best players in the league and arguably the most popular player at the moment.
He averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, and two steals per game in 2014-15. He shot 48 percent from the field, 44 percent from beyond the arc, and 91 percent from the free-throw line.
Teams are gunning for the Warriors this year as they just had one of the most historic seasons ever. Golden State has added Steve Nash as a part-time player development consultant and Curry says he’s looking forward to “chopping it up with Coach Nash.”
The Dubs will be hard to stop if the reigning MVP has added even more to his arsenal. He was already nearly impossible to stop before. The season tips off in Oakland on October 27 for the Warriors, as they’ll host Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans. It’ll be interesting to see what Curry has up his sleeves offensively against his former assistant coach, Alvin Gentry.
