SAN FRANCISCO – The halls inside Chase Center are bustling with TNT broadcast crew and arena workers hurriedly setting up for the Warriors’ season opener against the Lakers on Tuesday night.
They are stunned to see Steph Curry, the star of the show, sitting on a folding chair for this conversation amid the hallway madness on opening night’s eve. Curry gives a little head nod, a “what’s up” to those passing by and waving. Even in the thick of his quest to achieve unprecedented heights, Curry remains down to earth.
After a chaotic training camp – filled with long flights and fist fights – Curry will suit up for his 14th season with the Warriors on a mission shared by few in the history of the game. Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala could do something this season that only one other foursome in NBA history has done in the last 50 years.
