Steph Curry admires how the Golden State Warriors kept a winning culture for years with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green
The Golden State Warriors have won four championships since 2015 and they have remained title contenders since then. Entering the 2023-24 season, Steph Curry is in his 15th year and has been playing alongside Draymond Green and Klay Thompson for 12 seasons.
Many players have come and gone for the Warriors since 2015 but one thing that Curry admires is how the team kept a great culture within the organization.
“We’ve had a great environment on the road for years now, since 2015,” Curry said after their win against the Pelicans. “When the game kind of turns out like that, the home crowd enjoys the entertainment value and good basketball and the show … I feed off it because I love playing basketball and being in that environment, but it’s not like any type of message. Just hooping.”
After their next game against the Sacramento Kings, the Warriors will be on the road playing four games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
