For seven months, NBA teams work meticulously all for the one precious treasure – The Larry O’Brien trophy. Each year franchises make an assertive effort to better their teams and accent their chances of competing. At one point, none of it mattered because of a dynasty. The Golden State Warriors were an undeniable force who won three championships in four seasons However, now they aren’t the same. The core is identical, but their impacts, not the same. Everyone except maybe Stephen  Curry.

The Bay are on a remarkable run at the moment. They have won four of their last five games. Since Draymond Green’s return to being a motivating leader and tempo setter, things have started to look uplifting. However, considering there are just 29 games remaining in the regular season, there is a lot of work still to be done.

Even with their blazing hot run, the Warriors are only the 10th seed. The reality is they are nowhere close to the dynasty they once were. But Stephen Curry is okay with that being aware of how strenuous it is to compete for a championship in the BA.

Stephen Curry reflects on the greats to justify the struggling Warriors

Chef Curry sat down with ESPN’s Kendra Andrews for an exclusive one-on-one interview. While discussing the state of the Warriors, Curry acknowledged that they are “average” in today’s league. But when reminiscing on even himself, Curry acknowledged that while he feels in his prime, it feels different.

The same applies to the Golden State Warriors. They were a side that won 73 games in a regular season, the most ever in NBA history. That was eight years ago. They aren’t the side that could go to five straight finals anymore. The core players are aging and even the roster looks different.

But for Curry, this isn’t discouraging. He used the examples of Michael Jordan, Shaq, and arch-nemesis LeBron James to highlight the difficulty of staying competitive in the NBA.

“After the ’22 Finals, you understand the like the margins decrease as you get a little deeper into your career. Little things that impact winning are so precious. Reminding ourselves of it and also you know, bringing along the younger guys to get them to that level. So there is always patience within that. There is also like a realism of, you know, it’s really hard to compete for a championship every year. You look at the history of the league. You name it, the legends, Kobe, Shaq, Michael, Bron you look at all those guys who played so many years and played at such a high level. They didn’t make the finals every year,”.  Curry told Andrews.

As Curry rightfully said, it takes patience and perseverance to build a championship core and the culture to compete. Jordan took seven years to win his first, Shaq didn’t win until his fourth season with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James had to wait nine years as well. Even looking at the Warriors, it was a systematic and detailed process to first build and then develop the same core into one capable of winning a championship.

Let alone winning, even making it to the NBA Finals is a mammoth task. You have the best of teams preparing for it all season long. The Warriors did the improbable by even winning in 2022. It shows that even though their core looks spent, it can turn into a competitive side all because of the culture.
