"You're proud of yourself on how you handled the time when nobody was watching" - Steph Curry gives inspiring speech to youngsters at Rico Hines training camp
Steph Curry showed up for a star-studded summer basketball run hosted by Toronto Raptors developmental coach Rico Hines. The four-time NBA champion played alongside Trae Young, and the duo looked almost unstoppable during the practice run.
After the session, Curry spoke to the players about the importance of these summer runs. Going up against a player like Curry in the offseason could be a huge boost for other players. He is one of the hardest working players in the league. His work ethic is what has enabled him to be one of the best shooters in the game.
"Good to see competition, everybody's in here for one goal, to be ready for June whenever your time is. So if it hasn't happened yet, these are the moments that matter. When you look back, when you accomplish your goal, you're proud of yourself on how you handled the time when nobody was watching."

He added:
"No better feeling than talking to anybody that's been there. But all that stuff matters in terms of how you detail with every part of the game on both ends of the floor. Because in June you need this [head], you need your body, you need your competitive fire and its all built right now."

Steph Curry is already putting in the work to prepare for next season. The Golden State Warriors are once again dubbed as contenders in the West. If they are to repeat as champions, they will certainly need Steph Curry to be at his best.
With training camp set to begin next month, the Warriors have a lot of positives. They will be led by Steph Curry, who is motivated to add a few more championships to his resume. The team lost a few role players, but their core of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green remains intact.

Another reason for the Dubs to be positive is the emergence of younger players. Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are set to improve next season. If these younger players continue to grow and the Big Three remain healthy, the Warriors will be a tough side to beat.

Prior to winning the NBA championship in June, Steph Curry already had three rings to his name. However, the media still found ways to undermine Curry's success. Steph hadn't won a Finals MVP and that seemed to be the only accolade that kept him out of the all-time greats conversation.
