Last season didn’t go to plan for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. After winning the NBA championship in 2022, the Dubs looked like a shell of themselves throughout the year.

This offseason, the team made a number of moves to be competitive again, including Draymond Green’s contract extension and the Chris Paul trade. On top of that, Curry warns that he’s still capable of playing at a high level.
