Being on a star-studded team isn’t as easy as one might think. For Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, being able to gel with his teammates on the national team is one of the biggest challenges of what they’re hoping will be another golden medal run in the Paris Olympics.
According to the GOAT shooter, it’s all about finding the perfect balance.
Golden State Warriors News: Stephen Curry Speaks Out on Team USA Dynamics
Speaking after Team USA’s win over Serbia in their Olympic opener, Curry touched on the difficulty of having to play with a squad of bona fide superstars.
“This is our sixth game together, and I won’t even count the first one because nobody was in shape,” Curry said, via Sam Amick of The Athletic. “So it’s a weird dynamic of you understanding the sense of urgency of the moment, of having to try to play your best every night, but being comfortable with the uncomfortable nature of (the fact that) you don’t know how it’s gonna look every single night. You don’t know who’s gonna get on a heater. It’s gonna be KD tonight (against Serbia in his brilliant 23-point outing), it could be somebody else Wednesday. And that’s just the beauty of this team.”
To be fair, Team USA has won all six of their games thus far despite this “weird dynamic.” It’s not as if Curry is complaining either, as he knows that this abundance of superstars is exactly why they’re the favorites to go all the way in Paris.
Curry and Co. return to action on Tuesday against South Sudan as they take on the next step of their quest for a gold medal. Based on what we’ve seen from this squad thus far, Team USA is only getting better and better as the games go by.
