Stephen A. Smith hopes the Golden State Warriors will provide Steph Curry with the elite players he needs to win another title. Smith adores the famous Warriors player so much that he has been likened to a god by both the Bay Area community and Golden State.
During his latest interview on “Willard & Dibs” on 95.7 The Game, Smith discussed several subjects, one of which was that the Warriors “owe” Curry a strong team surrounding him. He also mentioned his trust in Curry, believing the four-time NBA champion could still lead a club to another championship.
Smith said at 0:49: “(The Warriors) owe Steph Curry whatever the hell Steph Curry wants. I’m a Christian and I don’t compare any man to God, but that man Steph Curry is the closest thing to a God-like figure that you got in that area. Make no mistake about it. Too invaluable. Too untouchable,”
With a 46-36 record at the end of the season, the Golden State Warriors were just tenth in the Western Conference rankings. They managed to advance to the NBA Play-In Tournament, but the Sacramento Kings easily defeated them.
Though it was only the third time the Warriors have missed the playoffs since 2015, the season was difficult. After some conflict with Steve Kerr, Jonathan Kuminga had his breakthrough year. Meanwhile, Steph Curry was his usual self, performing at a high level.

In past years, such stats would have been sufficient to make the All-NBA First Team, but not this time. The seasons of Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, and the two-time MVP were all better.
Curry turns 36 this year, so the Warriors must provide him with players who can finish with a basket. It is unclear what the future holds for guys like Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson since he needs the roster to become younger.
