Steph Curry reveals Warriors’ key to success during crucial 2025-26 NBA season originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry revealed the key to the Warriors’ success for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.
In an exclusive interview with NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole at the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, the four-time NBA champion detailed how Golden State can return to glory.
“I mean, we’ll talk about X’s and O’s and the philosophy of how this particular team that’s coming in next year needs to play to win, and that’ll evolve over the course of training camp and the 82-game schedule,” Curry told Poole. “Right now, it’s everybody taking advantage of an unfortunately longer offseason to get refreshed and rejuvenated, mentally and physically. Our last 35 games and the playoffs felt like a full-on sprint.”
There is no secret formula for the Warriors’ potential success in Curry’s eyes. Golden State simply has to take advantage of its time off.
The Warriors have played into the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in nine of the last 13 seasons. Golden State, too, might have earned its seventh trip to the NBA finals in 11 seasons if Curry didn’t suffer a hamstring strain in the semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves and miss the remainder of the 2025 postseason.
So, yes, the Warriors must value rest when they have it.
Regardless, there still are several unknowns surrounding the Warriors’ upcoming 82-game slate; will key players such as Jonathan Kuminga or Gary Payton II still be with the team? Will Curry or star teammates Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green show their ages? Does Golden State enter the season with an ideal center, say, like Al Horford?
No one knows. However, Curry and the Dubs have been there and done that. The 11-time NBA All-Star isn’t too worried about Golden State at this point in time.
“We know how to win; we know how to play; pieces fit,” Curry told Poole. “We’ll kind of commit to that and embrace the challenge of trying to climb the mountaintop again.”
