Read our privacy policy When Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and emotional, do-everything teammate Draymond Green began Golden State’s great turnaround nearly a decade ago, they were still relatively young and each establishing themselves in their careers. We have two cracks at getting one win, but we also know how difficult it’s going to be.” It seems so long ago, yet all three Warriors superstars have pointed to that early time bringing respectability back to the franchise as significant in building the necessary experience that helps them on the big postseason stage now. Even with all the differences and new faces from those previous championship teams, Curry, Green and Thompson were determined to keep the faith that everything would work out to build another winning roster. “Not doing all you can to get around it thinking, ‘Oh, man, we’ll just get back there.’ Just appreciating that journey and actually putting yourself in it and going through it — feeling the ups, feeling the downs, and then ultimately it takes some extreme competitors.” While these three had veterans like Andre Iguodala — he's still around — and Shaun Livingston leading the way as they gained experience, it's now Curry, Green and Thompson offering guidance with youngsters such as rookie Jonathan Kuminga, Jordan Poole and even finals first-timer Andrew Wiggins.
