Whether LeBron James is the best he has played against: “Yeah.”
Joel Embiid: “He’s worth the price of admission.”
Draymond Green talking trash: “Coach’s first year, we were doing some 5-on-5 drill. It was early season, and Draymond loves talking trash to the whole team — doesn’t matter if it’s me. Shaun Livingston was posting me up on the block, and I had no chance to try to contest his shot. And he did a little turnaround, a Shaun Livingston vintage turnaround. … Draymond was like, ‘He’s too small, Dot! He’s too small, Dot! Baby food!’ Yelling all that stuff during the middle of practice, and he’s on my team. I’m like, ‘Bro, come on.'”
“I love the Bay Area, man,” Curry said. “The only reason I go home now [to Charlotte] is if my sister’s getting married or to go play the Hornets for that one game, so I haven’t really been back much. I haven’t put my mind there.”
Curry, 30, also talked about how long he could play and noted the way Jason Kidd, one of the most athletic point guards ever, adjusted his game as his body changed and was still effective late in his career.
“You never know what it will take to keep your career going,” Curry said, “but I think I can figure it out.”
He said he is spending the summer getting ready to play.
“There’s a lot more elements to it and there’s a lot more strategy that goes into it,” Curry said. “My body is responding amazing right now. … I can see just how much goes into just being ready to play, and then the summers you gotta lay that foundation.”
