Stephen Curry Says He Never Wants To Come Off The Bench Again: “That Was A Good Run. At Least I Got That On The Resume. But Hopefully, Never Again. ”

Stephen Curry was absolutely sensational for the Golden State Warriors in their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets.

Curry played incredible basketball to help the Warriors defeat the Nuggets in 5 games. What's even more astonishing is that Curry was able to play at such a high level despite not starting games, coming off the bench, and playing with a minutes restriction due to an injury he is recovering from.

But it appears that 'Sixth Man Steph' is now over. During a post-game interview, Stephen Curry was asked by the reporter whether this would be the end of his tenure as the Warriors' 6th man and he would start games again.

Curry noted that it was a good run coming off the bench, and he is glad to have had that experience, but he hopes that he never has to come off the bench for the rest of his career (1:49 onwards).

“That was a good run. At least I got that on the resume. But hopefully, never again.”

Curry spoke during the series about coming off the bench so that Jordan Poole could start the game.

He noted that to him, it was more important to be part of the closing lineup than start the game. But understandably, a player of Curry's caliber was not going to accept being a sixth man for the entire Warriors' playoff run. With a few days to recover, Curry will have time to get fit enough to start again.

Klay Thompson showed Stephen Curry a lot of love after the game, noting that Curry is the leader of the Warriors and that he is truly one of a kind. The Warriors seem highly motivated to win the NBA championship this year and prove that their dynasty is far from over at this time.

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Michael Jordan On LeBron James: "He's An Unbelievable Player, He's One Of The Best Players In The World... I'm A Fan Of His, I Love Watching Him Play..."

Even before he made it to the NBA, LeBron James was already compared to the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. His Airness made a huge impact on the league, winning six championships in eight years, dominating rivals every night, and becoming one of the best two-way players in NBA history. During his career, and even during his retirement, many players were compared to Jordan, but nobody could live up to the expectations. LeBron James was deemed 'The Chosen One' when he was a teenager, and comparisons between him and MJ never stopped coming. They have mutual respect, and the biggest proof of that came during the 2022 All-Star Game, where MJ and Bron embraced each other in Cleveland. James would post a big pic of his first and most recent encounter with Jordan, paying respect to the man that inspired him. Just like the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has always shown his admiration for James, Jordan has done the same before. Back in 2020, during a press co...
