The Golden State Warriors boast one of the best rosters this year. Especially after signing Chris Paul to the team, they’re already making all the right noise in the NBA world. With the experience of Paul, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with this upcoming season. More importantly, the atmosphere in the team is admirable. Despite several superstars practicing under one roof, they’re all helping one another get better.

Recently Stephen Curry had acknowledged the difference that Paul can make. Recalling the good old days when they used to compete against each other, Curry said that playing together would be a great opportunity. So before they take center stage in the regular season, the 35-year-old turned into a motivator for his newest teammate.

Curry has always been an extremely reliable teammate. In fact, the Warriors franchise seems like a close-knit community of some of the best basketball players. Although they have a few falling-off moments at times, three stars on the team have been together for years now. This cannot be achieved without their biggest athlete being on good terms with everyone.

Turns out, Chef Curry knows his role better than people would imagine. From setting great examples for others to helping his teammates during practice, he possesses all the qualities of a good leader.

Recently, a mic’d up Curry, during a practice session was seen giving a pep talk to the 38-year-old. Despite gasping for air himself, the 4x NBA champion made sure he dropped some knowledge for others. He can be heard telling Paul, “Imagine how many practices you’ve been in your life.” CP has been in the league for 17 years, going into his 18th. Although he is widely regarded as one of the greatest point guards of all time, he has yet to get his first NBA ring.

To get motivation from a guy who has four of them must be a great feeling for the seasoned veteran.
