SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – Stephen Curry is a strong advocate for the idea of LeBron James joining the Warriors. But he has a higher priority.Curry, 38, wants to ensure he’s doing all he can to overcome the challenges posed by the aging process and that troublesome right knee that derailed him during the second half of last season.
That’s priority one for Curry, who has had to adjust a training regimen that has made him a workout legend throughout the NBA. He conceded as much Friday morning before teeing off at the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe golf course.
“Yeah, it’s just a more patient approach,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area. “Quality over quantity, (with) the idea that I can still get to the level that I need to.”
That “level” has made Curry a two-time MVP, a 13-time All-Star and one of the three players – along with Kevin Durant and LeBron – who have represented the best of the NBA for a generation. There were flashes that Steph had last season before he was diagnosed with runner’s knee, which sidelined him for nine weeks.
