Stephen Curry has been a savior for the Golden State Warriors since his NBA debut. Before the skinny kid from Akron, Ohio joined the team representing the Bay Area, they were not looking like a powerhouse in the league. The last time the Dubs had won a championship was in 1975. Since the mid-70s, they remained a three-time champion team until the mid-2010s. Steph joined the Dubs in 2009. Later, his fellow franchise icons like Klay Thompson and Draymond Green joined the team in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Finally, the GSW had a new head coach in, Steve Kerr, ahead of the 2014-2015 season.
Since 2015, the trio of Curry, Thompson, and Green, along with their head coach, Kerr, have been able to build a dynasty successfully. From 2015 to 2022, the Dubs won four NBA championships. As a result, the trio became franchise icons, and Kerr became a legendary coach. However, the 2023-2024 season saw a downfall of the dynasty. They failed to make the playoffs. Later, in the offseason, the veteran sharpshooter Klay Thompson decided to leave the Warriors. Klay joined the Dallas Mavericks. Since then, the future of the Warriors and Steph Curry looks uncertain.
Why Did Stephen Curry Remove Any Mention Of The Warriors From His Instagram Bio?
Klay Thompson was looking for a fresh start elsewhere during the offseason. Hence, he joined the Dallas Mavericks for a three-year deal worth $50 million. It was a big blow for the Dubs, especially his “Splash Brother.” Back then, Curry was concentrating on his preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Eventually, he returned home winning the Gold medal in France. Now, he will have to deal with the fact that there is no Klay Thompson, a.k.a, his ‘Splash Bro’ in the GSW’s locker room. Lately, fans have noticed that the greatest shooter in the game has changed his Instagram bio. He replaced “Guard for the @Warriors” with “Olympic Gold Medallist.”

Now, what does that mean? Perhaps he was trying to highlight a momentous achievement in his illustrious career. After all, he was part of a star-studded team that had the nickname “The Avengers.” Anyway, the three-point King never made any other gesture that hinted at him leaving the only team he has played for so long in the NBA. However, if Stephen Curry is looking for a change like his “Splash Bro,” LeBron James and Anthony Davis will be waiting for him in Los Angeles, that’s 375 miles down Interstate 5. But Steph and his family looks well settled in one of the wealthiest towns in the USA, which is Atherton, California. Moreover, Curry had signed an extension in 2021, that ties him to the GSW till 2026.
What Can The GSW Do To Rebuild?
There are a lot of theories like the Dubs might land Kevin Durant again to help the team become a contender once again. Bringing back KD can be a masterstroke as Steph and him teamed up to help Team USA win gold this Paris Olympics. After a long time, the 2017 and 2018 Warriors duo teamed up again. Now, can that happen in the NBA again? The Dubs let their franchise icon, Thompson, go. It won’t be the same without the ‘Splash Bro” for Curry. But Steph would need another superstar in the team’s offense.

Previously, Curry had said in an interview with Andscape that he would leave the GSW if they became a bottom-feeder in the Western Conference. The Dub Nation won’t like that because Steph has become synonymous with the franchise. After all, that trio won four championships, and Stephen Curry had won two MVP titles. Wearing the Warriors uniform, they revolutionized the game with their three-point shots.
