Winning a title has given him an extra layer of confidence, and this is the first time the league’s MVP might also be its Most Improved Player. “I got to come out and see my dad’s halftime ceremony and hear his speech”.

So until Curry finishes his college courses, one of the NBA’s most recognizable players won’t have his university jersey retired.
Curry has led the Warriors to a 20-0 start, with 19 of those wins coming in October and November. The Golden State Warriors continue rolling, now 20-0 after a 116-99 win over the Charlotte Hornets. It’s even more unusual to have an National Basketball Association team flawless at this point. It says a lot about our focus night in and night out.
“We’re not focusing on the actual streak, and I think that’s why we’re able to keep racking up these wins”, Walton said. “That’s our strength. Different guys step up on different nights”.
After his incredible third quarter, Curry sat out during the fourth to get some rest while the Warrior’s strong bench cemented the victory. At least three of the 3-pointers were 30-footers. Curry has five 40-point games in 10 road games this season.
“He didn’t make any guarantees”, Curry said with a smile.
It’s one thing for a team to score 115.3 points per game (the Warriors do) and shoot 49.3% from the field (Golden State can really shoot the rock), but it’s also imperative that the same team does not take off on the defensive end of the floor.
Sixers officials said in a statement before the team’s game against the Knicks in NY that they will provide resources and support to help him succeed on and off the court. “You expect to make them”.
While Curry, is easily the most popular and accomplished player in school history, the NBA champion left the school early for the 2009 NBA Draft and he’s never completed the requirements for his degree.
After a Draymond Green missed three, Andrew Bogut grabbed the rebound and found Curry in the corner for a wide open three. The point guard is 52.4 percent from the field, 94.3 percent from the free throw line and 45.9 percent from three point range. Leading scorer Kemba Walker finished with just four points on 2-of-16 shooting.
Said Hornets guard Nicolas Batum, who led Charlotte in scoring (17 points) and rebounding (eight) against Golden State: “We have to do a better job of rebounding the ball”.

Hornets coach Steve Clifford tipped his hat to the Warriors. They average a league-best 113.7 points per 100 possessions, 6.4 higher than any other team. “Steph had a great third quarter, obviously, in a variety of ways”.
