With the Warriors against the wall, Steph Curry shined. Of course he did.
In an exclusive interview, I talked to him about how he keeps getting better, how long he intends to play and if there’s added pressure bc this could be the dynasty’s last dance

But even with looming contract situations, Steph Curry is unfazed.

More on this storyline
Dirk Nowitzki on initially telling the NBA he didn’t want the MVP Award… “I was embarrassed. I let the city and my team down and all I wanted to do was go somewhere where nobody knew me and go on vacation or something. And then sure enough, I got the call from the NBA, ‘You cannot leave yet, or not quite yet. There is a chance you might get the MVP.’ And I remember saying, ‘Just give it to somebody else.’” -via YouTube / April 20, 2023
Dirk Nowitzki on Kobe recruiting him to join the Lakers… “That felt super cool to get that call from him, but I think he respected me almost more when I said, ‘Listen, I’ve been here in Dallas so long; I want to finish my career here.’” -via YouTube / April 20, 2023
Dirk Nowitzki on debating never coming to the NBA in the first place… I remember sitting by the pool on some sleepless nights, ‘Do I feel ready for this or should I stay in Europe?’ And then I was like, ‘I’m going to try it.’ In the back of my mind I was thinking, ‘Listen, I signed a rookie deal, after two or three years doesn’t work out at all, I can always go back to Europe, go back to Germany and play.’” -via YouTube / April 20, 2023
After his monstrous performance, Curry spoke out about Draymond Green’s suspension. The Warriors superstar acknowledged how this was a distraction for the squad, but at the same time, they used it as fuel for their big win in Game 3: “There’s a lot of distractions and noise around the series,” Curry said. “… [Green’s suspension] is a tough blow. But yesterday at practice we had really good energy, understanding what the mission was. Understand we couldn’t change anything about the decision that we knew was wrong, but that if we could come out and win tonight, it would change the momentum of the series.” -via Clutch Points / April 21, 2023
CJ Holmes: Warriors defeat Sacramento 114-97 to make it a 2-1 series. Twenty rebounds and nine assists for Kevon Looney. Stephen Curry did Stephen Curry things, finishing with a game-high 36 points and six 3s. We will have a Game 5 Wednesday at Golden 1 Center at the very least. -via Twitter @CjHolmes22 / April 21, 2023
Madeline Kenney: Bob Myers said his conversations with Steve Kerr and Steph Curry quickly shifted to, “OK, now what are we going to do? “Everybody understands that we have a game tomorrow night and we’re in the middle of a series, a difficult one and that’s the focus.” -via Twitter @madkenney / April 19, 2023
