  • 9 hours ago
Transcript
00:00Here's Seth, calling for the screen, Seth, wiggling around, Looney, Seth Curry in for two more, 17 in the first half.
00:13Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:18Alright, that courtesy of ESPN from 2021, Seth Curry had 17 in the first half while he was a member of the Philadelphia 76ers,
00:28so let's head out to the River Islands guest line.
00:31Isn't it time for you to discover the islands, River Islands and Lathrop?
00:35Seth, welcome to the Bay Area.
00:38Hey, what's going on? How you doing?
00:39Well, first of all, we got four guys here to talk to you today.
00:43Welcome. You don't need their names. You just need to know Stiney. That's me.
00:47Ah, yeah, yeah.
00:48But you're catching us at a great time because four of us are here.
00:53And let me just start out by asking you, what was it about the Warriors that drew you here?
01:01I mean, it's a great opportunity for me to hopefully get back to some winning ways.
01:06A veteran group here trying to win with their eyes on ultimate pride, trying to get back to the finals and winning championships.
01:13So the last couple years I've been in Charlotte, back playing at home, trying to kind of help with that rebuild situation.
01:19But like I said, it's good to be around a good group of veterans and some young guys as well who are moving in the right direction trying to win games.
01:27Seth, I don't want to ask you to pat yourself on the back, but your daddy can shoot it.
01:31We know about your brother, most threes ever made.
01:33But you've entered the league in 2013, and your percentage from deep is 43%.
01:39Do you think you get enough credit for just how good you are behind the arc?
01:43I think people who watch me play give me plenty of credit.
01:49Obviously, I mean, I've been on some teams that have made some good runs in the finals and like the last couple years haven't really played too many meaningful games as far as getting into the playoffs and things like that.
02:01But I've been playing just as good as ever in my obviously limited minutes last year.
02:06I think I shot the ball pretty well from deep and honestly from all over the floor.
02:10So I'm trying to just carry that over and help me in any way I can here with the Warriors and keep playing good basketball.
02:17Seth, I think a lot of us would love to hear more about the story of how you got here.
02:21What kind of a role did your brother play in getting you here?
02:25And is this the first time in your careers where the idea has come up?
02:31It's definitely not the first time.
02:33There's been some other opportunities in the past, about these past 11, 12 years.
02:37I've been in the league, but Seth was always open to the opportunity of me playing with him and for the Warriors.
02:45But, I mean, he knew and the front office here knew that I was kind of more trying to make my own mark in the league, build my own path.
02:54And I've been able to do that over the years.
02:56I've been on some teams where I've started, played a ton of minutes and had some good roles off the bench on a lot of different teams.
03:02It just wasn't really the kind of opportunity here with the Warriors with what they were doing.
03:06So, like I said, I mean, Seth was always open to it.
03:10But now it's made a little bit more sense this year.
03:13And hopefully I can come in and help in any way I can, like I said.
03:17And what is it about the here and now that makes it make more sense?
03:21Is it that you are deeper in your career and you're, you know, 35 years old and the rest of it?
03:25But what makes now make more sense for you to be with Seth?
03:30I think they, I mean, obviously they need what I do.
03:33You saw last year on their team, they obviously need some depth on that bench.
03:39And they have outside of Seth and Buddy, honestly, they have a lot of guys who, I mean,
03:45shoot that hockey percentage from three and kind of spread the floor.
03:47They got guys that can make plays off the floor, some good defenders, good slashes.
03:51But it was kind of a role in there on the bench for me to come in and knock down shots.
03:57And that's what I'm here to do.
03:58So I think that's why I made more sense on the floor.
04:02Seth Curry joining us on 95.7, the game, newest member of the Golden State Warriors.
04:07It's hard to believe you've been in the league 12 years, Seth.
04:11And the question I have for you is when I think about you and your career,
04:17I always thought of you as a guy who scratched and clawed for all the playing time he could get
04:23and always, you know, you know, grinded.
04:26But you're 35 and this team has a lot of veterans and young players.
04:32Like, how do you balance scratching and clawing for every minute you can
04:35with helping out some of the young players at the same time?
04:41I mean, when you have to save your career, that's just what you do.
04:44You go on the practice floor, you go out there and compete.
04:46And when you get the opportunity to go out there and play well.
04:48But at the same time, you got to get back to the game the same way a lot of veterans
04:52and guys like when I was here with the Warriors, the same guys like Andre Iguodala.
04:57Some of those guys did for me, trying to help me out in the league, too.
05:00They were trying to compete with me in practice and in training camp
05:03to keep their minutes and play well.
05:06But they were also giving back to the game and teaching the young guys.
05:08So I think that's the right way to go about it,
05:10try to relay some of my knowledge to the young players, help them play well.
05:14And the ultimate goal is to win games.
05:16So for me, in this stage of my career, try to come in here and help on the floor,
05:20off the floor, use my knowledge and my wisdom that I've accumulated over my career
05:25and help win games in a regular season.
05:27And then when we get to the playoffs, figure it out from there.
05:31Seth, you came in 2013 as a rookie.
05:34What's the biggest change in how the game is played in the NBA from then to now?
05:39Where do you start, man?
05:43It's completely different.
05:44Obviously, a lot of teams are younger from top to bottom.
05:49I feel like back then everybody was – I mean, you had a lot more veterans on the team.
05:55No matter if you were a contender or not, you were starting the year trying to win and play well.
06:00But now it's a lot more – a lot more less – I think from the half-court sense,
06:06it's a lot less play-calling, a lot more flowing, and read and react basketball,
06:10which is good for high IQ players that we have on this team.
06:12And obviously, you shoot steps.
06:15And these Warriors teams brought in to shoot as many threes as you can into the league.
06:20So, that also benefits what I do as well.
06:23The Warriors are trying to play that same brand of basketball, play fast-paced,
06:29random read and react basketball, and obviously get up a lot of three-point jump shots.
06:33He's one of the brand-new Warriors, but obviously a name we know very, very well.
06:36Seth Curry is joining us here on 95.7 The Game in the midst of the crossover
06:40with both Steine and Goo and Willard and Dibbs all together.
06:43Seth, you're 35 years old on this team.
06:45That makes you just one of those young bucks, you know, just coming up, getting started.
06:49So, can we have a real talk about age?
06:52Like, what's your response to the idea?
06:55Because we hear from a lot of fans, this group is good,
06:58but they're a little too old for this to be realistic.
07:01What's your response to that?
07:04I mean, just look at how everybody played over the last few years.
07:08I think the age thing is kind of, all throughout the league,
07:12the age thing is talked about a little bit too much
07:14because you see guys all throughout the league playing well
07:18into that 30s.
07:21I mean, yeah, I mean, now you get to your high 20s.
07:24Some people label you as old depending on how long you've been in the game.
07:27So, I think the guys who are up in age on this team
07:30had some of the best years of their career last year.
07:33And Jimmy and Steph, even Draymond, is sharp when he needs to be.
07:37So, I mean, age is – nobody here in this locker room talks about age
07:42since I've been here.
07:42It's been about being smart, playing well,
07:45and taking it one day at a time and being at your best towards the end of the year.
07:49Yeah, and they'll need you with, you know,
07:51like four or five guys older than you on the team.
07:53Seth, I'm just wondering about the older brother, younger brother dynamic.
07:58I'm the youngest of four, and I know how I feel about my older brothers
08:01and my older sister who's kind of like a brother quietly.
08:04But what was it like growing up with Steph?
08:06What was the dynamic like between the two of you
08:09when you guys were young kids?
08:11I mean, we were no different from that.
08:13We were competing and everything in the house when we were growing up.
08:15I think our relationship got a little bit better
08:17when we left the house and went to Davidson.
08:20I kind of missed him at the crib.
08:22You know what I'm saying?
08:23I kind of missed him at the crib and kind of took for granted
08:26the years we were in the same household.
08:28But I think, like I said, our relationship kind of got better as we got older
08:32and, I don't know, more cordial or whatever.
08:36But I definitely looked up to him and tried to pick his brain
08:39as I navigated my career.
08:41So it was good to be back in the locker room with him
08:43and stand across from him in training camp and practice and compete
08:47and try to get each other prepared for the season.
08:49Do you go into a situation, we're talking to Seth Curry,
08:52newest Golden State Warrior.
08:54Do you go into a situation like this looking for a role
09:00or are you, and you have a certain role in mind,
09:04or do you go in open-minded and see if you can create one
09:08from what you see when you get there?
09:12I think, I mean, from watching the Warriors
09:15and obviously the coaching staff knows what I've done
09:17and what I do over my career.
09:19I kind of know what my role is going to be when I'm out there.
09:21It's just a matter of how much I'm going to play.
09:22Obviously, I'm in a weird situation with my contract
09:25to where, I mean, I won't be able to get out there on the court
09:29until a couple weeks into the season or whatever that is.
09:33But, yeah, I mean, they know what I do, and they know, I mean,
09:38obviously the age is going to be nights where some guys are sitting down
09:42and they need that bench staff to come in and play well.
09:45And I think this year we have a deep roster of guys who can play on those nights
09:50and play a lot of minutes and produce.
09:52So, like I said, I've been in a situation in my career
09:55where I've started playing a lot one week.
09:57The next week I've played five to 15 minutes off the bench,
10:01and I kind of take pride in playing well in both situations,
10:05being ready and not making any excuses about playing time.
10:09Just when I get out there, I've got to make the most of my opportunities.
10:11Seth, I mean, it's so different than your brother
10:13who spent his whole career with one organization.
10:16I'd almost like to pick your brain on the idea that you've played for whatever it is,
10:2010, 11, 12 different NBA teams.
10:23That means different styles, different coaches.
10:25I know you're just getting here, but so far with what you've seen,
10:29what makes the Warriors different and the way that the coaching staff
10:33and their veteran players run this shop?
10:37Yeah, it's just that.
10:38It's a player-led locker room from what I can tell so far.
10:43I mean, Steve Kerr, I mean, he's great in meetings and huddles
10:47and trusting the guys to use their IQs
10:51and knowing what they need to do to be ready for the season.
10:54Like, I haven't been here long, but you can tell it's a veteran group
10:57who knows who they are, confident in themselves, and they have a system,
11:01and that system is run by, like Coach was saying the other day,
11:04it was run by Jimmy, Steph, Draymond, and everybody else falls in line.
11:08So, like I said, it's not as much.
11:11You don't have to teach in basic things that the players are teaching it.
11:16Steph, Draymond are teaching it in training camp,
11:18and everybody's doing it to their roles pretty well to start the season.
11:23So, I'm excited to be here.
11:25You are a 43% career from three.
11:27Steph is at 42.
11:29Your dad is at 40.
11:30When you guys get together for maybe 4th of July, cookout, shoot-a-thon,
11:35who wins the horse game?
11:38We haven't done it in a long, long time.
11:40But, I mean, my dad can still shoot it with the best of us in the backyard.
11:45He won't play us in one-on-one.
11:46He don't want to move as much, but when we get in a horse, it's anybody's game.
11:51You don't want to miss.
11:53I'll just say that.
11:54I can imagine, right?
11:56Yeah.
11:57Hey, Seth, thank you so much for joining us.
11:59We know you've got to run.
12:00Welcome to the Bay.
12:01Good luck, man.
12:02And look forward to the upcoming season.
12:05All right, looking forward to it.
12:06Good talking to you.
12:07Yes, sir.
12:07Thank you, Seth Curry.
12:08Thank you, Seth Curry.
12:08Thank you, Seth Curry.
12:08Thank you, Seth Curry.
12:08Thank you, Seth Curry.
