“Enjoy the Ride”: Days After Warriors Offloaded $100,000,000 aka Jordan Poole, Stephen Curry Hypes “Big Brother” 38yr Old Chris Paul’s Arrival

Stephen Curry is all set to return to the basketball court with several additions, accolades and absences to the Golden State Warriors. One particular addition has raised the curiosity of fans. Behind this offseason buzz is an old rivalry between Curry and Chris Paul.

If Stephen Curry’s ‘Splash Brother’ status with Klay Thompson is famous, so is his rivalry with Chris Paul on the basketball court. But the point guard has already changed his guards about the contender-turned-colleague.

Stephen Curry opens up about teaming up with Chris Paul

Steph got Chris Paul as his new teammate after the Warriors struck a deal to trade Jordan Poole for $100,000,000. With this deal, Jordan Poole goes to the Washington Wizards.

Talking about the trade and the arrival of his rival as a teammate, Stephen Curry said, “It’s the most surreal thing in the world because he was big brother,” Chef said.

“He is the big brother in the sense that when I was coming up as a rookie, he showed me the ropes and you go into battling for the playoff. You know, position and championship and all that. And there’s a lot of history. He is in year 18, I am in year 15. It is amazing that we get to do it together now. I am gonna enjoy the ride.”

This statement hints at a thawing of the beef between not just the two, but also their teams, something that has been quite evident for almost a decade now.

A beef history of Curry-Chris Rivalry

The beef goes back to 2014 when the Golden State Warriors lost seven games to the LA Clippers. The feud gained some off-court media attention too when the two NBA players took part in the ‘Celebrity Family Feud’. Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry put up a 194-point winning performance to win that one.

Since then, there have been several incidents that have put Curry and Paul at opposite ends.

But it wasn’t always like this. The two actually vacationed together and Stephen confessed to looking up to Paul as a  mentor, back when the Baby Faced Assassin was starting up his career, in 2003.
