Steph Curry Expresses Disbelief at Low Expectations for Warriors
The Warriors star walked away from a media availability after being asked about the widespread prediction that the team will miss the playoffs.
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry reacted with visible disbelief to the low expectations surrounding his team for the upcoming season, culminating in him walking away from a media session. Many analysts are not predicting a playoff appearance for the Warriors in Curry's 18th season.
When asked about the sentiment that "nobody" expected the Warriors to make the playoffs, Curry interjected, "That's how bad it is? To make the playoffs?" He continued, attempting to process the notion. "I went from championship to –", before the questioner followed up.
Curry then emphatically responded, "That's what I think about that! Damn! Damnnnn!" He then stood up and exited the podium, clarifying that his reaction was directed at the situation, not the questioner.
Earlier, coach Steve Kerr had stated that he welcomed the doubters. Curry's reaction suggests a strong disagreement with the current outlook for the team, as he appeared astonished by the widespread sentiment predicting their absence from the postseason.
