After a disappointing season that saw the Warriors miss the playoffs, Steph Curry has spent the offseason focused on refining his game and preparing for the upcoming campaign. He is very excited as the team starts training camp and wants to build a team that can win the championship again.
Steph Curry had a fantastic summer. He played really well at the Paris Olympics and then signed a new one-year contract that will keep him with the Warriors until 2027. Even though the Warriors’ GM was worried about finding another strong player to help Steph, Curry is excited and believes the Warriors can win the championship this season.
The 36-year-old said, “I’m super excited to be back, to figure out what this team needs to do to win, and to face the challenge of putting all the pieces together.”
He added, “We’ve got a lot of new faces and a lot of guys trying to take the next steps in their careers. It’s going to be fun from Day One tomorrow when we hit the court and start getting our reps in. We say it all the time in training camp, it is a way of thinking if you want to be great in this league, but it is true for us more than ever: Every day does matter for us to be able to figure this thing out.”
Steph Curry said the Warriors might need to change their approach because of the new players. He also stressed the importance of being open-minded and ready to adjust to the team’s strengths and weaknesses.
He said, “I’m coming into this training camp with an open mind of how we’re supposed to play…We have to have kind of antennas up on and an openness to accept what this team’s strengths are, what our weaknesses are, and kind of lean into those.”
Steph Curry confident in Warriors’ championship potential
Even though Thompson is not with the team, Steph Curry has promised to stay with the Warriors. The two-time MVP said he wants to be a Warrior forever and believes in the team’s ability to remain competitive.
He said, “It has always been and continues to be a goal for me to be a Warrior for life, to stay competitive throughout that process.”
Steph’s optimism about the team’s future is infectious. He added, “I am very confident that being here and continuing to be a relevant and winning team is possible. Until proven otherwise, that is how I will move forward.”
