Golden State Warriors

Stephen Curry removes Warriors affiliation from social media

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry recently went out of his way to alter his Instagram bio in order to replace his affiliation with the team with the fact that he recently won a gold medal with Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Curry has spent the entirety of his NBA career playing for the Warriors, who drafted him in the opening round of the 2009 NBA Draft. He is the longest-tenured active player in the NBA who has played for only one team, as he has 15 years of experience in the league to his name.

The floor general helped form one of the more dominant dynasties in the history of the NBA. With Curry leading the way, the Warriors have won four titles over the last 10 years, with those championships coming in the years 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

Curry earned the Finals MVP award for the 2022 championship series, when he averaged 31.2 points on 48.2 percent shooting from the field and 43.7 percent from 3-point range to go along with 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals per contest against the Boston Celtics.

But while Curry has achieved so much both individually and collectively during his time in Golden State, the Warriors’ halcyon days might already be over. It’s worth noting that Curry’s longtime backcourt mate in Klay Thompson left the Warriors for the Dallas Mavericks — who represented the Western Conference in the 2024 NBA Finals — this offseason after spending the first 13 seasons of his career in Golden State.

In addition, the Warriors didn’t so much as even qualify for the 2024 NBA Playoffs after the team had a mediocre 2023-24 regular season. Golden State ended up with a 46-36 record.

The play of Curry on the offensive end of the floor was one of only a few bright spots for the Warriors and their fans last season. He averaged 26.4 points per game while shooting 45.0 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from deep during the 2023-24 regular season, and he ended up winning the league’s Clutch Player of the Year award.
