Warriors' Franchise of the Decade title a ‘huge honor' for Steph Curry

Share

Steph Curry's first 10 years in the NBA were eventful.

From the low of a 23-win season to the high of a 73-win season, the two-time NBA MVP and three-time champion has seen it all.

Over the last 10 years, the Warriors went from NBA afterthought to NBA dynasty, and on Monday, Sports Business Journal dubbed them "Franchise of the Decade."

Two days later, Curry appeared on "Warriors Pregame Live" and was asked by host Greg Papa about SBJ's honor.

"It's crazy just thinking about those first three years, my rookie year to 2012, we were building towards something, we just didn't know what," Curry said. "Obviously through the draft, myself, Klay [Thompson], Draymond [Green], from Coach [Mark] Jackson to Coach [Steve] Kerr, to Andre [Iguodala], Shaun [Livingston], [Kevin Durant], all the different role guys that we had to help us to become the team and the franchise that we are year after year, it's a special thinking about how many people are part of that journey, that experience and who we got to do it for, for all of Dub Nation and the Bay Area, so obviously a huge honor.

"And thinking about all the greatness we accomplished over the last 10 years and the process of it didn't come easy, we had to build towards it, that means something."

While the Warriors have fallen on hard times due to the departure of Durant, Iguodala and Livingston, and the injuries to Curry and Thompson, what they accomplished during the 2010s can't be erased.

Five straight NBA Finals appearances, three parades and a permanent place in sports history as one of the greatest teams ever.

Yep, that's pretty special. Curry should be really proud of his role.
