00:00the fact that when i got into the league like that was never a goal steph curry changed the
00:04game as much if not more so than any other player in history what point guard came across half court
00:10and you immediately had to pick him up that's the ball puts up a three-pointer
00:19all the things that have gone into your success i play the game with i play i stretch the envelope
00:25this could be how i could cement myself in the league it's a long range three which goes in
00:30you believe you can get there but you really don't you don't know
00:35and there's just a lot of question marks you dedicate your life to this
00:39and you kind of lose yourself in that it's something that i obsess over a lot
00:44stephan stephan curry your dad played in the nba i bet you want to just like it
00:58i remember looking around like oh i'm not as tall as him i'm not as strong as him
01:03i was just i was a late bloomer as a basketball player as a scrawny skinny kid
01:07i asked the doctor i started to get work on the end of the bench until the team ran zone and they
01:12put me in to be a zone buster type vibe when i started playing varsity basketball my sophomore
01:17year the summer before that i had to learn how to shoot over the top of my head so that
01:20wouldn't get it blocked all the way through high school like i was kind of a pass first play making
01:24a point guard coach my parents sometimes teammates had to always tell me to shoot more because it just
01:30wasn't the way i saw the game even though i knew i could shoot
01:40it should come as no surprise stefan holds the record for career three pointers here at charlie
01:44christian my list it was uh davidson winthrop and virginia commonwealth i want to play
01:52they were graduating seven seniors the way that he pitched like you could you have to earn it but you
01:59have an opportunity to play right away because we had an amazing point guard there named jason richards
02:03team captain team leader voice of the team and was an unbelievable uh setup guy so i had to play the
02:09two and it kind of unleashed that way of you know playing the game that's very similar to how i do it
02:22now it took about three weeks for him to prove to me that he was going to be a star personal foul
02:30that is a three by curry he led all of college basketball freshman in three-point hits setting
02:36an ncaa record unbelievable first round of the ncaa tournament and we were decided under doors and
02:42paulis goslin there's a long range three which goes in curry for three and davidson has taken another lead of
02:50one stephan had 30 points in that game first young freshman stephan curry of davidson what a great
02:58debut on a national stage for this kid with the stroke just like his father you know we're a small
03:04college we have great academic rigor here no one gives us any respect well this guy brought respect
03:10to us right away their sunday brunches golden rule and last night's girl thinks you're a two 122
03:17threes the ncaa freshman record we have one way too cool where are you going it's not the dark side
03:25don't sit there that's social suicide you're always in trouble when you got to talk to a guy about how
03:29how to catch it curry a three you don't have to tell him how to shoot it yes this di jour is all i'm here
03:36for skip class today and all i can say is
03:49i wish y'all could have been like on our team bus i think bronze coming to the game
03:52stephan curry puts 56 on the board and impresses everybody but more so that man right there lebron
04:00james after we lost in the lead eight to kansas
04:11first question i got in the locker room after the game was like hey you
04:14declaring for the draft i was like what let's do this yes sir hi i just officially got butterfly
04:22i'm out of my element now i talk about new york and that situation being the most ideal right now
04:28how you doing good how are you pretty good
04:32dan tony likes to get up and down that's how i played all my life i'll be all right though right
04:36yeah right now it looks it looks you know fun for me i'm gonna be in new york that's gonna be dope
04:42with the seventh pick in the 2009 nba draft the golden state warriors select stephen curry from
04:53davidson college i like mixed emotions because like you know dream come true to get drafted
04:58it don't matter where it is it was not on my radar
05:03i get used to it's gonna be a long year getting luggage getting donuts coffee
05:10i hope that's i hope that's it now the nba three-point line is a little bit further back
05:15what do you think the change if any your three-point percentage is going to be this
05:19i was trying to come into my own as a player and i was getting benched in the fourth quarter
05:30ac law was playing last stop for the warriors game 82 this year and then when i can't get that
05:36opportunity very crosses over hoody fernandez and then we're bottom of three i am that guy that can
05:44compete and he bangs it home over him steph curry with 36. at the highest level in this league
05:53honestly i learned a lot but it helped sort of swap but it also motivated me and drove me on our
06:00board in a locker room we have the standings of the western conference last year and we realized we're
06:04like 24 games or something out of eighth place so mama there goes that man golden state has found
06:12its man the warriors announcing tonight mark jackson will take over as head coach by the bay
06:18when we got into everything around mark jackson it came down to this is the guy we want we were young
06:24and we were unproven and he had to create an identity you earned the right to win the game it was
06:29contagious man you are in the right all right let's go get it and we go out and hoop
06:37this time in a coup c creep check a bag on a sunday get it in a moment i don't gotta say one day be cool
06:45he don't really wanna play slide to your side like a spoon on ice cream wow unbelievable making it rain in new
06:53in new york 46. well contested a two-on-one back in the way curry why not for three bingo step
07:05curry with 54 points tops in the nba this season mary neal dribbled it off his leg oh my goodness
07:12snap curry with himself again and then it just kept happening and then it just kept happening
07:17got caught on his toe and angled it out then it was like oh i don't even have to step on nobody's foot
07:23i could just be changing direction on the court nothing was working two surgeries extensive rehabs
07:31your future's kind of hanging in the balance of your health you know take the next three months and
07:35have a you know planned approach as to how i was going to get ready for training camp and we've stuck to
07:39that schedule my first time ever meeting you you're on the court the entire front office staff the
07:45entire ownership group everybody's sitting there watching you do an individual workout debating whether
07:50they're going to give you an extension this is a lockout year so it's right at the trade deadline
07:59when you get in the locker room it's kind of a different energy it's a little quiet in here like
08:02what's going on you see across the ticker warriors trade monte ellis or andrew bogey
08:07and then coach jackson pulled me out at the locker room said i'll let you know like they wanted
08:14you in the trade because i kind of stepped in too and said i'm gonna give you the keys i felt like
08:19i really believe in you we just gotta get you healthy and that's what the rest of the season
08:23gonna be about you want to be stuck three games below 500 at this time of the year every year you
08:28want to be stuck five games below or something like that that's where we were trying to figure out
08:33coming to a deal and like it was that one thing i had to just tell myself 44 million dollars for
08:37four years more money my pops ever made in the league i just want to be healthy i'll be in cali
08:43for another four to five years and securing a future with the uh warriors so it was exciting
08:47obviously the fans are the concerned about steph curry and andrew bogey where are they in their rehab
08:52steph curry has been cleared to play he's doing live drills but he's got the green light
08:57the road trip coverage continues here in miami as the warriors getting set to face the
09:26defending nba champion miami heat here tonight
09:31that pass was down there by his ankles he had no angle on the shot
09:35curry with a wrinkle through lebron got fouled
09:44best player in the world made some tough shots but i got a team that looks at each
09:47other and say okay let's go execute and give ourselves another chance
09:50the a bosh lebron and ray allen shot clock off final seven seconds of the game down to five
10:00down to three inside golden state comes out of south florida with a win and the warriors celebrate on the
10:10floor below as well they should it's a young team that's learning their way in the association it's now
10:17five straight road wins for the warriors gives a lot of confidence when you feel like you have a
10:22guy that's the best on the floor we've played the way we're capable of playing we lock in we can beat
10:26anybody
10:36the warriors clinched a playoff berth for the first time in six years
10:40from where people predicted us at the beginning of the year this is uh definitely uh you know hard
10:45work paying off for the warriors this is going to be a first time i mean steph curry david lee the
10:51rookies all these guys are playing in the playoffs for the first time
10:58the denver nuggets have been absolutely sensational at home we had an interest in uh scout report you
11:04know with steph and clay you know we're just gonna rough them up a little bit right you know what i'm
11:07saying 24 consecutive home wins you know our bigs is crashing into the guys they get clumsy and look at
11:14david lee can't even walk at this point yeah it's for steph curry there's curry they double team him
11:21and he gets ripped watson with the steal and the finish wow
11:29hard for all the way to the end one big play by andre miller changed the game
11:33i had always heard about how amazing oracle arena was during the playoffs it's like we walked out and
11:38there was this haze around over the court 75 for 20 minutes with a tip-off they're chanting the warriors
11:47you kind of get wrapped up in that it was the third quarter i went on this crazy run
11:56and one of the last threes was right in front of denver's bench
12:00and literally as i let it go it's like i've never felt the shot feel better than that and i turned around
12:05and kind of looked at javel it was kind of really special and roracle is losing it the warriors
12:11have just sent the denver nuggets out of the playoffs they are moving on to face the san
12:16antonio spurs everything was about how we just like make the playoffs and put together the young
12:20squad and all that i keep hearing you referred to as a kid on national tv and you have a wife and child i
12:26mean what's up with that is that weird to you like i knew i could shoot the ball and like that's
12:30it was a part of my game started getting to the playoffs and you realize how much the game changes
12:37at that point it's way more physical less foul calls all that stuff and curry hurt himself he's
12:42had ankle injuries throughout his career realize how much of an advantage it would be for me to
12:47hold my own if i'm driving to the lane somebody knocked me i'm not just you know falling over as the
12:52san antonio spurs advanced to the western conference finals winning 94 to 82 in game six we have to
12:59get better fundamentally in all areas before we can start talking about let's add an eighth man
13:05that's going to get us over the top the golden state warriors have fired head coach mark jackson
13:10the move comes in the wake of the warriors elimination from the basketball playoff i didn't
13:15want them to fire mark for anything i'll trust you to you know this is what you think is right for the
13:19team but don't mess this up ultimately we're going to be judged myself ownership everybody involved in
13:24the decision is going to be judged on what happens now well one thing i can tell you this is a very good
13:28team and that's one of the reasons that i wanted to come here all we're trying to do is is help them
13:33get uh even better like there's a level of obsession about the details when it comes to footwork when
13:41it comes to balance how the balls enter in the back like the rim at the right angle arc and all that type
13:46of stuff there's a legit obsession around that where i really understood the the unlock that can be there
13:52in terms of being creative about how i can play visualizing you know stuff that maybe i've never done
13:58before and then trying it in a in a skill session or practice or whatnot that confidence that comes
14:03behind that is just it's intoxicating and then you get in the game
14:10you kind of move yourself in that you get out there going forward and you keep doing that over and over and over again
14:15you said earlier you said earlier they wear you out and step with the steel stretch the envelope and having a different level of creativity
14:20in
14:21in the back fires a three oh he puts it in what a spectacular move
14:27start to shoot from deep with build your range out he launches
14:31you're having the ball hailing the space creation and all that stuff to it curry for the lead
14:39present you step curry with the 2014-15 mvp
14:52take my game to the next level at the biggest stages in the playoffs when things slow down and get into that
14:57physical type of world match out there just being in that flow is exactly it's where i want to be and
15:05when you're in that curry to drive step back two-pointer puts it in
15:12there's no there's no better feeling and it's just a proud moment for i think everybody in the bay area
15:17just to be four wins away from um you're our goal
15:21game one going over time and winning kairi getting hurt
15:27irving falls down and kairi irving is hurt lifting up the floor
15:33game two the no delva dova experience and pass deflected delva dova got a piece of it
15:38curry trying to get on track you know that started the narrative of you know our little
15:44back and forth brown was playing out of his mind then we go to cleveland we're down to one and it's
15:48like oh you're comparing my stats to other nba or other mvps in the finals of the finals mvps
15:54get to game three four or four five six and we
15:57this is for the whole bay area all of dub nation all the support
16:05last 40 years this is for you this is what it's all about
16:10man this year's bill russell mvp andre iguodala
16:15andre his defense and his presence and that adjustment we made in the middle of the series
16:20unlocking another level for us and him playing out of his mind we both thought we probably deserved
16:26i'm sure when he heard his name called he was like no it's him and if it was me it would have been the
16:31same thing we did it we did it and still feel like there's another level to get to yes or no have
16:39we seen the best of him of his hands partially by andre miller he got a hand on it warriors now
16:455-0 on the road folks questioning the legitimacy of golden state's title
16:54that hadn't been any kind of championship layover
16:56the warriors with 11 consecutive victories to start the season 20 in a row the last time a team has
17:08started 20 and 0 was 18 84. he's the best player on the planet right now incredible and they're now 24 and 0
17:19forces it up blocked by thompson head down to green and that will do it they got more of a chip on their
17:25shoulders than we do and we're the runner-ups and they're the reigning defending champions
17:39steph curry is now in the midst of having the greatest single season any player has ever had
17:47they have changed and revolutionized the way the game is playing play
17:55the greatest regular season in nba history now belongs to the 2016 golden state warriors
18:02first unanimous selection in the entire history of the nba
18:10that's fire yes
18:23and the cavaliers by three seven to shoot curry fakes the three steps back crossover puts up a three
18:46it's over it's over cleveland is a city of champions once again the cavaliers are nba champions
18:56kevin love possession if there's like one play like i know i should have done something different
19:00it's that one kind of one of the closing possessions you had kevin love switched out onto you and
19:05usually that's a good situation for you but it seemed like you couldn't get free what happened there
19:10exactly on that possession i was searching for a three in fact we have a 73 and nine banner in our
19:16practice facility but no uh nba finals banner that year still hurts hopefully we'll have many more
19:23opportunities to to fight for championships and be on this stage
19:29uh the news again coming in moments ago kevin durant heading to the golden state warriors the ultimate
19:37sign of respect that you can show someone is to invite them into your home and stuff i felt like
19:44opened the door to his home for kevin the warriors welcoming kevin durant to the bay area the all-star
19:51forward basketball wise how does kevin durant fit in with the warriors and that incredibly talented
19:57core that was already here well i haven't made the decision yet but he might start
20:06we knew that going in there was going to be a little sacrifice trying to figure out where shots
20:10were going to go and like who's going to have to make the biggest sacrifice at first it was actually
20:14me yeah there was a time where i was making more money than you on like you were the fifth or sixth
20:19highest paid player on our team if you don't sign the 44 million dollar deal the warriors are never
20:26able to sign andre also not able to sign kd as well we don't talk about steph curry anymore he's taken
20:33such a back seat and for the record curry doesn't have a problem with it like when you sit here look
20:37at it like you got three i mean four hall of famers all right well we can't double him and we sure
20:44enough can't double him and we can't leave this guy just butt naked over him hey look man we're gonna
20:50play hard folks your bill russell 2017 finals mvp kevin durant
21:06i think we played over 100 playoff games so we play out more than a season than anybody who didn't make
21:11the playoffs those five years the intensity is you know two three times what it is in the regular
21:16season i gotta get used to this but i'm three-time champ man it's a great feeling until next year
21:222019 finals katie gets hurt with durant knocks it away and durant slipping durant goes down holding
21:28his leg play gets hurt we lose to toronto
21:30the raptors the 2019 nba champs
22:01steph flying from japan redirects his plane to not go to san francisco to come to new york only to
22:07find out on instagram an hour before he land that kevin was coming to the brooklyn nets
22:13for me to open this door for you and you come home and then it's successful
22:20i feel like that should just go on and on and on and on and then you kind of just abruptly exit
22:27that next fall i get hurt i break my hand
22:30hurry with a lot of contact this is the worst worst nightmare everybody is in stunned disbelief in that
22:38locker room right now not only is the dynasty over it needs a huge swing to me like a huge
22:46swing i hate to say this right now but to be honest with you i don't see the golden state warriors
22:52bringing home another championship you know losing sucks it's the worst feeling in the world and until
22:58you get over to home you kind of have to just sit in it your guys culture the fabric of that has
23:18never torn when you need to retool it may look different if your superstar is the main guy driving
23:24the culture the great teams great players you know figure it out that's kind of the reason the culture
23:29doesn't break come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on come on
23:38went to reach they clean down the lane mean bucket two oh he's all the way back
23:45you believe you can get there but you really don't you don't know because it's a new crop of guys
23:57it's you know the older version of us no stop talking like i'm not the most local guy walking
24:02that out and doing it on a daily basis that's my job but the confidence that that builds for
24:07everybody you ought to see them again here's curry for the record and there's just a lot of question
24:18marks and then you stay in the moment plot your way through it we locked in we locked in let's go
24:24hurry a deep one the golden state warriors are headed back to the western conference finals this
24:42team is finding the way to play championship caliber basketball
24:46way to high level get to the finals this crowd is back they're on their feet and their warriors are
24:57going to the nba finals again do you consider yourself an old head now and what does that
25:05feel like or look like to you
25:09they won in 2015 right i was still in high school i remember where i started you know every kid can
25:14imagine yourself being in the nba and being in the finals we obviously feel like we still have a
25:18lot left in the tanks while we're here so you know actually living out your dream and in real time uh
25:24is a surreal feeling the historical implications of this series the warriors we know they're trying
25:28to win their fourth title in this little era here go get it done just up one two three
25:37they were up i want to say like 15 or something like that
25:39but it was like a weird 15 it was one of these like we didn't get this deal right here that team
25:46shouldn't do that to us we're the bigger more physical team brown man he's cooking jalen brown
25:54with 22 in the ball game back to horford for the lead boston up by three brown on the baseline horford
26:04inside counted in one the appropriate word is scary boston celtics know they're bigger they know
26:10that they're more physical and the golden state warriors after one game still look like they are
26:15in some serious trouble you guys always had a lot of proven firepower around stuff whether it was kd
26:21or clay in the past feels like this is a little bit different at least through these first couple games
26:24step curry explodes six threes and 21 points in the first quarter they hold him to 13 points the rest of
26:30the game driving past this was a different element of emotional like response that we hadn't really
26:35you know seen before us into a three on the way got it screened by porter jr curry takes a three
26:42it's up and good a heat check three off the screen curry's got 29 streamers come down from on high
26:50warriors with a 107 88 win and then they won game two so everybody's like you know what
26:54a series we're going back we're going back to get game uh get game three
27:0319 000 people that seem to be in unison on what they were saying every single uh possession
27:08oh blocked by williams reading the rebound off the miss quickly ahead harford running up the floor
27:15now throws it back to tatum tatum to brown brown the flush oh we sitting there and you look you
27:25just like enjoy y'all last way it's 2-1 like what you mean awesome selfish take game three they're two
27:30wins away from a title we lose game three and you're in that environment it's like holy
27:34shit like this is gonna be a dog fight whatever it takes you know we're gonna need contributions from a
27:39lot of people they were wearing steph curry down he didn't just look hurt near the end he looked
27:44absolutely positively exhausted but steph curry was all time shockingly atrocious we had a must-win
27:51game after tough one in game one and we got game two so the flow we still feel like we obviously can
27:57win the series curry another long-distance shot it's good i hit that one shot and i started like yelling
28:05at the crowd i was like this is gonna be a different game i said that bad pass from curry stolen by ground
28:11brown brown drives flips it up off the glass it goes in oh what a shot from galen brown
28:18and the warriors call timeout and the celtics have regained control regained the lead and certainly
28:24regained momentum
28:28the scrawny skinny kid they wanted you in the trade your future's kind of hanging in the
28:31balance puts up a three oh block by jones mvp kevin durant you know we lose that game
28:38who knows if we ever you know have a chance to win a championship again
28:44curry again oh steph curry from way downtown wiggins look at a post-up tater curry launches a three it's good
28:53steph curry with his third three-pointer back to curry step back three-pointer bang steph curry drills the three
29:01that's a six-point warriors lead like i'm here like we're here and we're gonna respond and
29:07yeah you'll count the parade already
29:13i know you won't say it but we can it looks like you are really just putting these guys on your back
29:18right now i know your foot's not right how are you doing it we should just win the game the emotions
29:23just pouring out it might be his fourth but it means so much all the sacrifice all the work
29:34stephen curry i came back to tell you something you'll practice hard and you will be
29:42and in 10 years i'll be with my dad and we'll be watching
