The Golden State Warriors are now 19-­0. Led by their star point guard and last year’s MVP, Stephen Curry, everything seems to be going in the right direction for the Warriors.

On December 2^nd, 2015, during the Warriors v. Hornets game, Curry scored 28 points during the third quarter. He scored a total of 40 points throughout the game, along with five assists. With Curry’s lead, the Warriors won the game 116 to 99. Along with Curry’s impressive numbers, Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut both had 11 rebounds each; Klay Thompson pitched in 21, and the team’s efforts allowed it to be victorious.

According to ESPN, Curry scores an average of 31.6 points per game (making him the current league leader), 6.0 assists per game, and 5.2 rebounds per game, and steals 2.53 times per game. Compared to last year, he scores an average of 7.8 more points per game. Whether he is five feet away, or fifty, Curry does not miss; he leads the Warriors team. Every game, fans can count on Curry to provide an ankle­breaking crossover, a deep three that is nothing but net, or a nifty pass that seems to defy gravity.

Aakash Vasireddy ’17 expresses his admiration for Stephen Curry: “I love Stephen Curry. He’s without a doubt the best player in the NBA, after LeBron. With his talent and skill, he is certainly capable of leading his team to a second straight championship. I have deep respect for the future NBA Hall-­of­-Famer.”

Ravneet Saran’18 shares her support for the Warriors: “I strongly believe the Warriors are going to go all the way this year. Their point guard, Stephen Curry, is a very talented player, and I believe he is capable of leading them to the Finals, and being successful. I can’t wait for the rest of the season, and expect nothing but wins!”

Even with the absence of their head coach, Steve Kerr, the Warriors’ interim coach Luke Walton has aided the team with more strategies.

Besides Stephen Curry, several players on the Warriors heavily contribute to their continuing success. Draymond Green, the starting power forward, averages 8.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. Klay Thompson, the starting shooting guard, can launch the ball with five hands blocking his view and still score. The strength and power of Andre Igoudala, the back­up small forward, helps him get past any defender in his way and allows him to attack the rim with fierceness, proving him to be a key asset to the team.

The Warriors altogether average 115.3 points per game and are the leading team in NBA right now. The future will tell if they will be able to maintain their success, and go all the way.
