I think one thing everyone is forgetting in terms of team USA is that steph likely would've played in 2016, but he was hurt all playoffs and had to have surgery after the finals.

Good to see him happy.

Steph Curry's joy has returned because he doesn't finally have to carry a team he got help

he won 4 rings, i say they did maximize his prime.

As a DUBS FAN, This is all we care to see. Steph enjoying himself and playing elite basketball 💙💛

The day Klay comes back to Chase arena will truly be one of the games of all time.

Its for team USA. Like they all said it is truly an honor.🙌

"Brothers for life" 😢

Look at Wardell man

When klay shout out "brother for life" in that championship celebration hits different in many ways right now

have warriors taken advantage of stephs prime?! Absolutely they have, probably have the highest combined payroll over the last 10 years.

W Steph ❤❤❤

Best player on the team 💯💯

I think we're trying to get Lauri or prepare for the future. If we can't pry Lauri from Danny Ainge grubby hands, then we'll probably try to focus on adding depth and development

I can see the GSW offer for Markkanen + Clarkson being Podz + Moody + Wiggins + 3x 1st round picks. Whatever it is, must not be good enough because Ainge ain't signed off on the deal.

No GSW owners wasting curry's time

I thought nba prime range from 26-31.. not a 36 year old?

Curry might as well request a trade to the Lakers him x bron unbeatable

We makin one last run!

Given Joe Lacob's aim to keep spending below the 2nd apron it appears Dunleavy is bolstering a team around Stef Currie that will at least reach the playoffs. I don't get that feel that the team as a whole is after consistent wins as much as they're after a good enough team that will at least reach the play-ins. So an above average team is maybe what we'll get this 2024-25 season. Pity, because Curry always aims higher, never lets up, and prepares accordingly before the season begins.

Steve kerr is taking credit 💳 for everything...u better thank Mark Jackson for this team and Dynasty🏆

Curry 🐐

Curry finally gonna realize the wonders playing with Lebron does and we’ll finally have the awaited duo🔥

I think overall they’ve done a great job. The only really crazy thing to me is that Draymond is still there and Klay isn’t.

JK bout to go off next season

Steph Curry has joy❤😅🎉

Maximizing his prime 😂😂😂 like 4 rings isn’t maximizing anything. Good job ESPN you got the click from me

It’s because he enjoys having fun while also not having to carry a garbage team

4 rings. They did plenty as an organization. He's not hurting lol.

The 3rd Best Trio in #NBA History. #DubNation #Warriors

“Forever Brothers” 😢

If LeBron ever would've gotten a shooter like Steph, who knows how many championships he would have.

Dray G should be in USA team

they can definitely try to get Lauri even if it means get rid of Kuminga..besides being an athletic freak, he hasn't shown any significant improvement in his game.

Why would you project a starting lineup of Curry/Melton/Wiggins/Kuminga/Green? 6'2, 6'3, 6'7, 6'7, 6'6.... 🥴

I remember when everybody thought draymond was gone be the first one outta gs…now y’all stuck with a goat and donkey

Shiii i think the warriors are solid. They prob wont win, but nobody going to want to play a healthy warriors in a series

Can't believe this is Curry's first Olympics

They are absolutely wasting his prime the past 2-3 years. They keep thinking they just have a "switch" that will automatically lead them to winning and they dont. The core has gotten older and the rest of the league has caught up to what they built. Now with Klay gone they need to go and get a second star, and not wait until trade deadline. Trading Poole for CP3 last season was dumb. They should have and could have gotten back more for him.

My feel....just like GP II , Klay has gone to maximize and relax, he will be back for sure😊

"Are the Warriors maximizing Curry's prime" is such a weird thing to put on the thumbnail for a dude who's won 4 championships, 2 MVPs, and a FMVP. Like, there's scant few players in all of NBA history that have had that kind of success.

Last two seasons...that was not a good team... Curry was the reason they had 45,46 wins

I think Dunleavy has set the table with all of the side dishes, we’re just waiting on the big entree to wrap it all together

Well the clickbait worked.

I thought Steve Kerr was gonna get Draymond to replace Kawhi. We need more toughness/wildness on this team.

Where were they last year?!

Come on ESPN we need a Bronny update now.

We gettin Lauri and Steph winning #5. book it.

Good to see Curry laughing and smiling. Curry will win a championship ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Will be tough for warriors to beat mavs in 7

Steph is the GOAT

I want to play with Steph Curry ❤️

they don’t have the money to help Curry this year it is what it is.

I still doesnt think kuminga have ability to be all starr, until he can master mid range shoot. People should notice, when kuminga have a good strech, he need curry doing screen in low post and after team know that tactic, kuminga productivity is drop. 1 dimensional player who looks good because he is athletic, but top player nba is about skill and iq. And dont forget, in nba there lots of super athletic in another team too

As Windy like to say, it was a checkbook championship. It still was a checkbook playing season.

Im not gonna forget my klay.

No organization can maximize a players prime their entire career ..

They got 4 rings!

ESPN thinks maximizing is every player should have 50-70% ratio of yrs played to championship 😂😂😂

Is this from the past?

Steph Curry clears lebum

Am I crazy for thinking this new Warriors lineup is top 3 in the west?

Klay`s Villain Arc is happening

Just a reminder. The USA bench/2nd unit = Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Jason tatum, bam Ade, and tyrese or derrick white. Great defense considering how good that offense can be. Just the bench would terrify most countries but yeah it's basically the champion celtics + 10 star pieces to help them win a gold. LOL that's so funny. A roster of all-stars who can now focus more on defense and share the offensive load. No one is going to shoot more than 14 shots. Everyone is going to basically look for that one amazing defensive play. That's kind of insane if you think about it. You have 2 x all defense on that 2nd unit for the USA. Also 1 x 2nd all defense team. LOL. Wth?

They went after Bron at the deadline. Everyone involved in the PG trade thought that was done til it wasn’t. They’re pursuing hard after Markannen. They’re for sure swinging for the fences.

My Warriors are going be a top 3 seed. I guarantee you it. Mark my words. We have the talent to get the job done. I guarantee you it. Mark my words

We need better shows.....The Jump was legendary

He's over 35. Come on, man! Sorry, but that's way pass his prime. Ok, professional athletes at that level nowadays with the money they make and their discipline and their will into conditioning season to season can get to 40. Still, don't kid yourself it's just a small percentage of players who can make that happen. The rest of them can barely make it to 35. Especially in accordance to the demands of winning a chip. Otherwise, you could pretty much be playing in a team aspiring to tanking for the next season...

You can't maximize the talents of a player who's weaknesses need to be hidden behind the talent around him.

Its fun to play with that WHAT IF they lose talk, but no team on the planet beating this squad. either you leave BRON open and killn or you leave Steph open he killn and thats just 2 lolol.

ESPN cutting curry quotes again for a bigger emotional narrative smh

Malika "very very long time" GSW warriors just won one 2 years ago in 2022

Don't let go of Jonathan Kuminga !!!!!!!

Some of y’all are mad that Draymond is considered in the Big 3

I wish Malika would opt out of reporting like Kawhi opted out of the Olympics.

ESPN is so lazy. You can’t win a chip every year. Curry had great veteran players when they won those rings. He didn’t do it alone. Now the young players and new veterans have to step up. They have two years.

When they get booted out the play-in tournament we'll know.

LOL...Anthony Davis...I got so many open looks! Curry the only players in NBA history consistently double teamed at half court because teams were afraid he'd shoot the ball...No other player past or present can make that boast...

I think 🤔 Mavericks @ Warriors should be a Christmas 🎄🎁 day game Klay Thompson returns to the Bay

“Hey curry keep the family away” - Kdot

That boa is well past his prime 🤣🤣

kareem magic n cooper had 5 rings together

Can somebody break down why he's never been in the Olympics? I don't feel like researching.

GSW need to just realise they need a full rebuild and trade dray and Steph.

Warriors team currently are worst than 2021 roster. As long as they don't acquire legit 2nd option, they can't be a title contender. #11 seed at west is their best way they can reach with that kind of roster currently.

!!Durant&Steph is a bigger storyline. They won two Championships and they are back on the same team.

Warriors have traded Curry to Hornets for LaMelo and multiple first round picks.

Who's going to tell them it's Anthony Edwards's team?

Curry

i wish kawhi have done the same

Curry is compatible.....nobody wants to say lebron isnt compatible

Kuminga is going nowhere if they wouldn't touch the Paul George deal

Titles and talking points like this are absurd lol. The front office has literally paid every significant member of the team that won them chips over and over again. They’ve consistently had the highest payroll in the league and have had the highest payroll ever recently. The team has 4 chips and have made 6 finals series with steph on the team. It’s nobody’s fault that klay had significant injuries and dray got major PTSD out of nowhere. It’s just not possible to have elite teams for 12 years straight, there’s no way anybody can tell me steph hasn’t been maximized with 4 titles to his name

His joy has returned cause it reminds him of when he only had to play at role player level cause he was on the greatest most stacked team of all time 😂

GSW are not making playoff with this team

ESPN...lol what noobs....taking advantage of Currys prime??? HES 37 almost!!! and will be in his 16th or 17th year next year....lol...just because he still putting up good numbers doesnt mean hes in his prime....i always learned on average an athletes prime is like 25-32 or 27-32 years old...

Where unk an S.A?

I didnt know age 36 is someone's prime lol

He still got green

He won 4 championships in his prime, is ESPN new to the NBA now? Got it
