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.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

  The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

  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.

Bill Russell Is Only The 5th NBA MVP To Pass Away After Kobe Bryant, Moses Malone, Wes Unseld, And Wilt Chamberlain

  The NBA just celebrated its 75th Anniversary last season, showing that the league is much younger than most of the major sports leagues worldwide. As a result, most of the legends of the game are still around and are allowing younger players to get first-hand advice from them.  Bill Russell was the most legendary player from the '60s and dominated the league by winning 11 championships in 13 years. He also won 5 NBA MVP awards in his era, proving that his defensive prowess is something that could catapult him to be an MVP despite never averaging more than 19 points a season.  Russell passed away yesterday and became only the 5th NBA MVP in history to pass away. The first one to do so was Wilt Chamberlain in 1999, followed by Moses Malone in 2015, Kobe Bryant and Wes Unseld in 2020, and now Russell in 2022. These are legends of the game, and it is heartbreaking to know that they aren't amongst us anymore. This observation was made by Reddit user u/WeaponFactory. Chamberl...
