Stephen Curry

When it comes to the face of the current era of basketball for Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry is the man that runs the place. He put the team on his back and carried it while they were learning to become the team that they are today.

From his remarkable shooting seasons to bringing a championship back to the bay, Curry is forever a legend in the area. When it’s all said and done, he’s going to have plenty of shooting and scoring records to himself as a player in the league.

If there was ever a Warrior that fit the definition of a Jedi perfectly, it’s Curry. He’s “The Last Jedi” of Golden State, as it’s hard to see him leaving the franchise he loves more than anything. He has made this team his own and has helped build something special.

Perhaps him and Thompson go out together one day and they both fit the bill of the title. Players come and go from rosters during championship eras. It’s near impossible to keep the same group together in the salary cap era. When Golden State pays Curry, they’re going to do it with the intent of keeping him a Warrior for life.
