Reigning NBA Champion, Golden State Warriors, is going back to full gear after a few months of golfing with the U.S. President Obama, talk-show appearances, award shows, and world-wide travel.
In a report by the NBA, Warriors star and last season MVP, Stephen Curry, shared his 'learning experience' over the course of celebration last summer.
"This was probably the craziest that it could be, granted, with how much traveling we did and all the events that I was at. But like I said, that never trumped the priority of being prepared for training camp. I'll kind of feel it out as [I] go through the next couple weeks of how my body responds and feeling the flow of training camp. But I've been able to get some rest in the last couple weeks and really mentally prepare for the journey of another nine-month season and being able to play deep into June [and] being fresh. I've worked hard so I'm going to rely on that preparation. And coach Kerr does a great job of managing all of that as well anyway. We learned that last year. If we go out and do our job, he's going to take care of us as players. That's what we've got to do."
Even with the long 'celebratory holiday,' the Warriors reassured their fans that they are now back to game mode and are prepared to take on the other teams to make a repeat.
"We won't be complacent,'' well-known guard Klay Thompson said. ''Guys on this team are too competitive. We tasted winning, and we're kind of addicted,'' he quipped.
Curry said that even with all the fame he has, he will return as the same guy who strives to be the best.
''We can't think we're going to be the same team and show up and win 67 games and win a championship,'' Curry said. ''It's not going to be easy. For us, it's about doing what we do well and doing it better,'' he concluded.
