The Golden State Warriors made headlines after a violent practice incident. A heated moment between teammates Draymond Green and Jordan Polle left the NBA crowds in utter shock. The tense situation ended up with former Defensive Player of The Year punching the young man. However, it seems that isn’t the first time a Warriors star was at the end of violence. Notably, during his college days, Stephen Curry was in a similar place. But his reaction to being in a headlock was way different.
Green might look like the center of the Warriors. However, Steph Curry is an underrated leader for the Warriors. Head coach Steve Kerr has praised the eight-time All-Star’s ability to lead from the front. It was evident during his passionate outburst two seasons ago. And it seems the Baby Face Assassin has had that role since his days in Charlotte.

As the captain, Curry had the job of telling a former starter that he will come off the bench. On hearing the news, he was far from happy. He stalked the Warriors’ franchise hero on the floor and put him in a headlock. Despite reddening up, Curry was all calm. He had a few quiet words for Brown, then he went back to his shooting practices.
Frustrations seem to be an instinct after such demoralizing news. However, as teammates, there is always a way to make things up. As is the situation with Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Despite such a high degree of altercation there seems to be no disconnect between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole. As the vocal leader, the four-time All-Star might have earned back the faith of his teammates.
