Legend Stephen Curry challenges the NBA and risks repeating LeBron James’ mistake with the Warriors

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Without a doubt, the Golden State Warriors are going through a crucial moment in the NBA. With a veteran core led by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler, criticism centers on one point: age. Many experts claim that a team with players over 35 no longer has what it takes to win another championship.

Curry, however, doesn’t share that view. At 37 years old and entering his 17th season, the star point guard averaged 24.5 points last season-his lowest since he first won MVP. Despite that, the four-time champion doesn’t believe time has diminished his chances of earning a fifth ring.

Steph Curry baffled by wild welcome in China

Curry and his experience

In an interview with NBC, Curry stated that his experience has given him a competitive edge. “With age comes wisdom,” said the eleven-time All-Star. For him, preparation and mindset matter more than a player’s birthdate.

The Warriors’ leader explained that both he, Green, and Butler are focused on staying ready to compete at the highest level. “We know we have to prepare, there are no guarantees of staying healthy, but we want to be in the title conversation,” Curry added. With that message, the point guard made it clear that the Warriors won’t surrender to the “old team” narrative.

A mistake similar to LeBron’s?

Curry’s message echoes what happened with LeBron James in 2021, when the Lakers forward publicly criticized those who doubted his team’s age. At the time, James had to delete his message after being eliminated before the playoffs.

Now, the Warriors’ captain risks repeating that story. Will he be able to prove that the Dubs’ veteran status is a strength and not a weakness? Time will tell if Curry can back up his bold statement with results.

Curry wins over fans in China

While preparing for the upcoming season, Stephen Curry is enjoying his international tour with the Curry Brand Tour. His first stop was Chongqing, China, where he was greeted with incredible enthusiasm. Fans chanted “MVP!” upon his arrival at the airport, showing that the Warriors icon remains one of the most beloved figures in global basketball.

During his first day in the city, Curry took part in activities rarely seen from an NBA star: he danced, interacted with fans, and enjoyed a drone show, which he called his favorite moment. On Instagram, he shared a carousel of images with the caption “Curry meets Chongqing,” showing his excitement about the experience.

The Warriors and their leader’s future

With two more days of touring in China and the NBA season fast approaching, Curry is balancing international commitments with preparation for a new challenge with the Warriors. The question remains: will veteran status be an obstacle or Golden State’s secret weapon?

What’s clear is that Stephen Curry doesn’t intend to let doubt define him. With the same confidence that helped him revolutionize the NBA, the point guard faces a new chapter determined to prove he still has the magic to lead the Warriors to glory.

Kim ends five-year winless run on LPGA Tour with big home win

Sei Young Kim ended a five-year winless run on the LPGA Tour with a four-shot victory at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea. The former major champion took a four-shot lead into the final day at Pine Beach Golf Links, with Kim retaining control - on home soil - by mixing six birdies with a lone bogey during a final-round 67. Kim recovered from an early bogey at the par-three third to register four birdies in a five-hole stretch from the fifth, seeing her turn in 33, then extended her advantage with back-to-back gains from the 14th.
