Rick Rowell/ABC(NEW YORK) — Despite his team losing the 2016 NBA championship title to the Cleveland Cavaliers following a nearly perfect season, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry says he’s ready to get back to work.
Curry, 28, sat down with ABC’s Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts to discuss how he and his fellow teammates would tackle the new NBA season.
One big addition to the Golden State Warriors is NBA powerhouse Kevin Durant, who stunned basketball players and fans alike when he announced earlier this year that he was leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors.
“You have to be excited about what we could be going for with adding KD [Durant] and our core guys that we have, me, Klay [Thompson], Draymond [Green], Andre [Iguodala], Shaun [Livingston],” Curry told Roberts.
“It’s going to be amazing … It’s not going to be, you know, an easy transition. But, you know, it’s going be something [we’ve] really got to focus on. But looking forward to it,” he said.
Losing the championship “still hurts,” Curry said, but he noted that the loss would provide motivation.
“Having been on the other side … winning a championship, being on, you know, the losing end and knowing what that feels like, there’s no more better fuel to get ready for this year,” he said.
Roberts also chatted with Curry’s wife, Ayesha Curry, about her cookbook, The Seasoned Life, and upcoming cooking show. You can watch the full interview below.
