Stephen Curry on the Rockets: They are trying to bully us with their size advantage

Lachlan Penfold, head of physical performance at the Warriors: The phrase is: “Great leadership is to allow others to shine.” That's Stephen. Quinn Cook, Warriors' defender: Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Rockets (Houston). 2018. I missed the big shot from Game 5 and sent Stephen, Kevin (Durant), Klay (Thompson) and Draymond (Green) (Green) to a message after the late night game, like: “My bad.” All these guys liked: “Don't worry. We wanted you to take that photo.” We won Games 6 and Game 7, Stephen and I were back in the locker room from the trophy demo on the court, and I was crying. I know that's just going to the finals. Usually, when you win the final, you cry. But I've gone through a lot of things to get to this point. He put his arm next to me and was like, “Man, it's nice to see guys really care.” – New York Times / April 23, 2025
