Even his backcourt mate, Klay Thompson, welcomed the idea of having Paul around.
"Any time you get to play with a player who is one of the best of your generation, it’s an honor," Thompson said. "It’s a little weird because we’ve had so many battles in the past with Chris, and he’s led so many teams that nearly knocked us off or did knock us off all the way back in 2014.
"I think he’s just going to add such a calming presence and leadership component that we need."
It could take awhile to get used to seeing Curry and Paul playing in the same team as they've had a great rivalry throughout their careers. Since 2014, CP3 and Steph have battled in the playoffs and given fans a ton of memorable games.
