Stephen Curry has one of the best playoff runs of his career this season. He ended up helping the Golden State Warriors win their fourth ring in the last eight seasons and also won the first NBA Finals MVP award of his career.
Though arguably the best player for the dubs for most of the postseason, he started from the bench in the first four games of the first-round series against the Denver Nuggets.
Considering Curry is one of the biggest superstars in the NBA, getting off the bench could have been a problem for him. We’ve seen many times that star players sometimes have inflated egos and refuse to come off the bench no matter what the case.
Luckily, according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Curry isn’t one of them. Instead, Kerr revealed Steph made a joke about it when he was asked to start the first few games off the bench.
Above insider:
“I go to him, I say, ‘Steph, if you want to start — you’re Steph Curry, you can start if you want.’ It’s just a given: “We’re playing great, Jordan [Poole] is in a great groove, we are 2-0 up, let’s keep going. Let’s get on with it.’ Over the next few days, as he practices and works, he says, “Look at me Coach! Look how hard I work! I earn it. I know I can do this!'”
Kerr added, “He was perfectly happy to come off the bench. this is steph What could be a serious problem for other players became a complete joke for him where it’s like we laugh about it.”
Stories like this prove that the chemistry between the Warriors is great. Apart from that, Kerr and Klay Thompson recently shared a moment in which the latter vowed never to want to play for another manager. Of course, Kerr responded to Klay’s promise in a similar way.
All in all, the Warriors are in a great place right now and could very well be on track to win at least one more championship before their current core is ready to retire.
