Curry talks hoops, and, of course, Riley at Warriors media day
He confirmed Monday he recently went to Germany to get injections in his knees, which left him feeling good. “That was fun”. “It’s been a busy summer for everybody but I wouldn’t change it for the world”.
While winning the title provided confidence, the challenge this season for the Warriors will be staying sharp through the entire regular season knowing how hard the grind of the playoffs can be.
“We can’t just say we’re going to be the same team and show up and win 67 games and win the championship”.
“I didn’t want to be in great shape coming back to camp because that simply means I didn’t give my body enough time to rest after such a long season”, Green said, explaining he wanted his body to hold up in June. “We tasted winning, and we’re kind of addicted”. Los Angeles, much like Golden State a few years ago, have begun to rebuild with some promising young players.
“You learn how to embrace it and when you embrace things, they tend to work out in your favor”, he said. To combat the fatigue that comes from a shortened offseason, Kerr will not be holding two-a-day practices like a year ago in a move welcomed by his players. Curry said he is looking forward to working side by side with Nash, whom he believes could help him more in developing his game ahead of a tough National Basketball Association season and a crowded competition in the Western Conference.
Green said he is in good shape entering the start of training camp Tuesday. “You can do it, but it’s probably not a good idea”.
“He’s in that right frame of mind, and I think he’s looking forward to trying to help us out in any way possible with shooting the ball”. Barnes turned down a four-year $64 million (AU$92 million) contract extension last week in hopes of a more lucrative offer from the Warriors. The Warriors officially announced the signing of free agent guard Ben Gordon.
In his two seasons with the Lakers, Nash only played 65 games and averaged 11.4 points and 6.4 assists per game due to injuries.
“Giving that donation was very important to me”, Green said.
