Stephen Curry, a seasoned NBA veteran, embarks on a familiar quest as the Golden State Warriors commence their 2025-26 season. Despite his illustrious career, including championships and records, Curry's focus remains steadfast.
In a recent media interaction, Curry shared his perspective on the upcoming season. He reminisced about the team's triumphant start last year, which eventually unraveled. Curry emphasizes the importance of maintaining a calm and focused mindset, regardless of the initial outcomes.
Curry advocates for a strong start, drawing from his experience. In the 2024-25 season, the Warriors began with a 9-3 record but faced a challenging slump. A five-game losing streak disrupted their momentum, and they never fully recovered. Curry's words resonate: 'It's the same mission every year. Last year, we achieved success, but the team's performance took a downturn.'
With 16 years of NBA experience, Curry has encountered diverse seasons. He has celebrated titles alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and endured challenging years due to injuries. The last championship victory was in the 2021-22 season against the Boston Celtics. Since then, the Warriors have missed the Western Conference Finals.
This season, the Warriors introduce a rejuvenated roster, bolstered by new additions like Jimmy Butler and Al Horford. Curry, a key figure, is poised to lead once more. As the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Lakers, Curry's leadership and shooting prowess will be pivotal in setting the tone for a successful season.
Curry's confidence in the team's preparation and mindset is evident. The Warriors' strong training camp in the offseason has instilled a positive outlook. Curry's mindset is clear: 'It's more mental than anything. I'm ready for the upcoming season.'
The upcoming match against the Los Angeles Lakers presents a significant challenge, pitting Curry against LeBron James, a formidable opponent. Curry's reputation as one of the NBA's greatest shooters positions him to make a strong early impression. His leadership and composure will be crucial as the Golden State Warriors strive for another successful season.
