Maybe Curry is trying to get recognized in elevators, or maybe Curry just wants to take us to the alternate universe that is your 2009-10 Golden State Warriors. Whatever the case, if any sports fans actually read GQ, then they will get to read about Stephen Curry’s rookie campaign. Having many guys already hurt (Biendris, Wright, and Turiaf) they have no size, so Curry’s blog may well be the one thing to consistently follow this season!
In his first entry Curry tells us about how he was just about ready to suit up for the game, and needed to go to back to his car. No, not to get his shoes that he left at the hotel or that he needed something that would help him during the game, but he went back to his car to re-tape himself pulling up to the arena for NBA.com. Yes, this always seems to be a problem we run into. Hey Mceezy, you forgot to tag those links in this mornings post! So much for spontaneity! I did LOVE how he gave the Oracle crowd props for being so loud towards the end of the game! More than I can say for SJax…
In his second entry, Curry faced off with the legendary Steve Nash, and seemed to think that he could emulate him one day. I hope he’s right, and I hope that is with the Warriors. It wasn’t all that exciting of an entry, but did produce this golden nugget of a quote.
“We had Saturday off, and then Sunday was probably our best practice of the year. Everybody was focused and working hard for two hours. And the veterans, they don’t really do that too often. I think the mood of the team is pretty positive right now, even though we’re 0-2. I’m looking forward to tomorrow. [Golden State would beat Memphis 113-105 the next night]”
I guess this is something that dubs fans probably knew for awhile, but it kind of sucks to see it in writing. I guess that’s probably why they have long mental lapses during the games. I guess if AI doesn’t need practice, then why would any of the other veterans!

I for one hope that Stephen Curry can live up to all the preconceived hype about him. And hopefully along the way the Warriors can garner some respectability under coach, Don Nelson .
It’s extremely sad to read and hear the news about Kareem Abdul Jabbar. My heart goes out to him and his immediate family. Any form of cancer is a stressful thing to have to go through.

Yeah, I hope he does too, but it will probably be in a uniform other than the W’s. They aren’t good at keeping guys…
The Kareem story was pretty sad. I was caught off guard when I saw that!

So the Hornets have lowered the boom on Byron Scott ? Hell does that mean there’s still hope for wavering Knicks’ fans ? D’Antoni still hasn’t got them playing ‘team basketball’. And people think that they’re improving ? What friggin’ planet did they just arrive from ?
