While Team USA is performing excellently at the Olympics, Steph Curry is facing significant struggles, which is puzzling considering he is playing with many stars in an environment where he should be shining. Why is this happening? A major reason is LeBron James.
Steph Curry’s Diminished Role
Curry is no longer the focal point of the offensive strategy as he is at the Golden State Warriors. Instead, he has been relegated to a secondary role, often just standing in a corner. This is very different from his usual role in the NBA, where he constantly moves to create space and take shots. In Team USA, other stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker handle the ball and direct the game. LeBron’s strong presence has made Curry somewhat redundant in the team’s offensive system.
Curry’s Decline in Performance
Curry’s problems did not just emerge at the Olympics. Since the end of the last NBA season, he has shown signs of declining performance, averaging only 22 points per game with a three-point shooting percentage of 37%, much lower than his prime numbers of 29 points and 43%. The fatigue of carrying the team and the lack of support from teammates like Draymond Green have contributed to Curry’s decreased efficiency.
Warriors Seeking Support for Curry
Recognizing this situation, the Golden State Warriors are looking to strengthen the team by exploring trade options. One of the main targets is Lauri Markkanen from the Utah Jazz. Discussions about potential trades involve young players and multiple future draft picks. This is seen as a necessary step to provide Curry with additional support and maintain the team’s competitiveness.
Concerns About Curry’s Age and Future
Age is also a factor to consider. With Curry nearing 37, the question of whether he can still hold the top spot in the team becomes more pressing. Very few players have won championships at this stage of their career while still being the main star. Therefore, the Warriors need to quickly find quality reinforcements if they want to continue competing for titles.
Conclusion
The Olympics have highlighted a larger issue: the need for change and adaptation for both Curry and the Warriors. Without decisive moves and adequate support, we might witness the decline of one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Time will tell whether the Warriors can overcome this challenge and help Curry regain his former glory.
