It's been a handful of years since Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have been considered anything other than the presumptive NBA title favorites.
But after a free-agency week that saw a record-breaking number of players and draft picks changing hands, the Warriors enter the 2019-20 season with the fifth-best odds at a championship according to vegasinsider.com.
Curry appears unfazed by all of the transition, as he made his annual trek to South Lake Tahoe for the American Century Championship, a celebrity-amateur tournament that features an extensive list of former and current star athletes. Last year, CBS NFL Analyst Tony Romo edged out former Oakland A's All-Star Mark Mulder to win the event.

Seen speaking with media members Thursday morning, Curry explained how he is excited for the Warriors to be seen as "underdogs" this upcoming season.
Curry was also spotted excitedly reuniting with his former teammate Andre Iguodala, who was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on July 7 in order to help the Warriors stay under the "hard cap," which kicked in when the Dubs orchestrated a sign-and-trade for D'Angelo Russell.
Steph and Iguodala famously are big-time golfers, as they earned an opportunity to play Augusta National, the site of The Masters, as a reward for their first championship from Steve Kerr.

Both Iguodala and Curry will be participating in this weekend's tournament, with the first round getting underway Friday morning from Edgewood Tahoe.
