The NBA’s Golden Age: Why there’s a superstar renaissance

NBA Golden Age: Stephen Curry is still Stephen Curry.

Staying in the west, the reigning defending champion Golden State Warriors haven’t exactly looked like the world beaters many anticipated coming into the season in large part due to trying to get their young core of James Wiseman,  Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Moody acclimated into the rotation.

The Warriors are also trying to move forward from the Draymond Green- Jordan Poole incident that occurred during the preseason in which Green punched Poole in the face. Klay Thompson is still trying to get back to his full form as well and the vibe around the Warriors that we’re accustomed to has been a bit off this season as they currently are 12th in the Western Conference standings.

In spite of their slow 4-7 start, one bright spot of the Warriors is that Stephen Curry has still been doing the unbelievable from making deep impossible threes to crafty finishes at the rim, he never fails to amaze. He is currently averaging 32.6 points on an absurd 51% from the field which is bonkers considering the types of shots he takes and the volume he shoots them at.

Curry is also contributing in other areas as well, grabbing over 7 rebounds a game (7.1) and a shade under 7 assists a game (6.9). If it weren’t for his team’s slow start he’d currently be in the MVP conversation. Despite that, let’s not let that enjoy the greatness that is Stephen Curry.
