On The Athletic Show, host Marcus Thompson asked what he thought about Curry’s workouts. Without hesitation, he highlighted the four-time NBA champion’s pace and his zeal to show up every day.
“The pace of it, the game speed pace. Just the grind to do it every day, not seeing the end of it. But when you get to the end, realizing this is why I’m able to do this. Now you get to see the fruits of the labor,” he said.

As Curry prepares to resume his playing days, a lighthearted moment unfolded on The Athletic Show. It all came down to which family, his or LeBron James’, had scored the most points cumulatively.

On the other hand, James and his son, Bronny, racked up 43,290 points.
“That’s why I’m saying it’s the family. It’s the household.”
In the 2025-26 season, Curry is averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 4.8 assists, and 0.4 blocks per game.
