NBA star player Stephen Curry is not someone who takes things easy. His determination and his will to excel often results in him placing certain expectations not only on himself but also on his fellow teammates. This may be the reason why the Golden State Warriors have succeeded in building the reputation of being one of the best basketball teams of the past decade, winning over four championship titles and six conference titles under Curry’s watch.

With time, however, the Western Conference team seems to be losing its charm. The same could not be more apparent than during the current season, as the Warriors are positioned at the 10 seed. Curry knows that there is a need for change, and he didn’t hesitate in letting the truth out.

The Warriors just beat the Lakers with an emphatic 128-110 score. Stephen Curry made history by becoming the first player in franchise history to reach 6,000 career regular-season assists.

During a Q and A session, Curry discussed his team’s recent win, emphasizing how he and his teammates have been trying to “keep this thing going for over a decade”. At the same time, he discussed how, to understand what it takes to win, he has certain ‘demands’ he wanted to place before his Warriors crew.

“We want healthy egos, we want everybody to be super confident,” said Curry in a statement. “It’s always a team game, always a team mentality”.

The four-time NBA champion credited all of his teammates who made the ‘necessary adjustments’ to ensure that his team gets an edge over all the others. However, he also stated that the journey is not over and that they still have a long way to go.

How have the Warriors been performing during the current season?

For a team that was the defending champion last season, the Warriors did not seem to have a good start to the regular season. There was a lack of a secondary scoring threat, since Draymond Green was suspended for quite a few games and neither Klay Thompson nor Andrew Wiggins were up to the mark. This was the reason why, after the Warriors’s first 40 games, the record stood at 18-22 and the team was placed all the day down at the 12 position.

With time, however, Curry and his teammates seemed to have gained their momentum. They slowly built up their momentum and made use of bench players like Jonathan Kuminga to beat the odds. After their initial fall, the team ended up losing only three more games and moved up two positions on the point table.

Curry’s statement provided a reality check that even though the Warriors won 9 out of their 12 last games, they still lie at the bottom 10 of the points table. For the team to repeat their 2022 success, they would have to listen to Curry and develop healthy egos.
