Stephen Curry is gearing up for a triumphant return to the Golden State Warriors.
Few players in NBA history have impacted the game quite like Stephen Curry. The golden boy of the Golden State Warriors revolutionized basketball and left his mark as a top 20 player of all-time.
In a little over half of a decade, Curry transformed into one of the most prolific superstars ever. Five trips to the NBA Finals and three championships later, Curry’s dynasty is collapsing as injuries plague the entire Warriors roster.
The two-time MVP fell with an injury himself, fracturing his hand early in the 2019-20 NBA season. As the Warriors transition from being a title contender to NBA Draft Lottery hopefuls, we begin to wonder what Curry can still bring to the table.
Before his season altering injury, Steph was looking to prove himself. Though he has respect as one of the all-time greats, there are questions regarding his ability to win on his own and his lack of a Finals MVP will always be used against him.
In four games, Curry posted averages of 20.3 points, 6.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. It was a slow start for the unanimous MVP but it’s safe to say his production would increase at some point.
When he returns, Curry will have more fuel than ever. A few months in recovery is likely a good thing for him in the long run. For the last five seasons, Curry has played deep into the postseason. This gives him a chance to fully regain strength before officially going on a revenge tour.
We can expect nothing less than greatness from Curry when he returns. There will be no shortage of motivation for Curry and the Dubs to prove their doubters wrong. We have yet to see the end of Curry’s reign over the league.
