On top of that, they will again play with a target on their back as the defending NBA champions. On media day, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry talked about the team’s current championship high and their desire to defend their title.
Curry was also asked about playing fewer minutes during the 2022-2023 season to preserve his health for the playoffs. He seemed to be quite dismissive of the idea.
It’s a bold statement from Curry, who is 34 years old and entering his 14th season. Last season, Curry played 34.5 minutes per game over 64 regular-season games and 34.7 minutes per game over 22 playoff games.
The last time Curry played at least 36 minutes per game during the regular season was in the 2013-2014 NBA season. He averaged 36.5 minutes per game. It’s unlikely he eclipses that mark at his current age.
Stephen Curry on Giannis Antetokounmpo calling him the best player in the NBA.
In his own media day appearance, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked who he thinks is the best player in the NBA. Many have crowned Antetokounmpo the best player in the league since his 2021 championship. However, he still decided to take a humble approach.
Stephen Curry was asked his thoughts on Antetokounmpo calling him the best player in the world. Curry seemed grateful to hear about Antetokounmpo’s praise and had some kind words for the Bucks’ star.
The best player in the world debate is still up for debate. There’s a decent chance Curry and Antetokounmpo meet in the 2023 NBA Finals to settle it.
