Golden State Warriors have got their third NBA championship in four years and they have no intention to stop. Warriors decided to go one step further, and have added a fifth All-Star to their roster in free agency by signing DeMarcus Cousins. This makes them almost locked to get another championship in the upcoming season, so you have to understand people who think that the Warriors are ruining the league. But their star point guard Stephen Curry doesn’t share that opinion.
In a recent interview with USA Today, Curry said that the claim that Warriors are ruining the NBA is “dumbest phrase ever” and that his team is just setting pace other need to follow.
“We are always trying to find a way to get better. If we were just happy with winning a championship and staying stagnant, we wouldn’t be doing ourselves justice. Obviously with KD (Kevin Durant signing in 2016), with DeMarcus this summer, with the bench guys that we’ve been able to sign, everybody is trying to get better and we just happen to be the ones who set the pace and set the narrative around how you need to structure your team to beat us,” – Curry told USA Today.
Stephen Curry also talked about the consequences of the fact that LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers and came to the Western Conference.
“I don’t know what they’re going to be as a team, because obviously it’s brand new and they don’t have their identity.” – said the 30-year-old All-Star. “But at the end of the day they’ll come together with LeBron leading the charge… It’s going to be fun for fans, playing (more) in the regular season and who knows in the playoffs. So the West obviously got stronger with LeBron but you’ve still got to beat us.”
