“He’s a machine out there. He doesn’t get tired” - Steve Kerr marvels over Stephen Curry’s conditioning in his 13th year in the NBA

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has praised Stephen Curry for his conditioning and stamina on the court.

Even at 33, the baby-faced assassin can run circles, and many younger players cannot keep up with him. If running up and down the court isn't enough, Curry is also known for his relentless off-ball movement in offense. It seems as if he just doesn't stop moving, and defenders get visibly exhausted trying to guard him.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr marveled at Curry's conditioning after his team's win over the Atlanta Hawks, saying:

"He's in the best shape of his life. Last few years, he's elevated his strength and conditioning. He's a machine out there. He doesn't get tired."

Stephen Curry with his usual flurry dropped a 50-piece on the Atlanta Hawks to get the Chase Center roaring. The Golden State Warriors are now 9-1 through their first ten games of the season, the best record in the 2021-22 NBA.

Despite wins against the LA Lakers and the LA Clippers, the narrative until a few days ago was that the Warriors were facing easier opponents, which explained their impressive record. Curry, though, silenced all the haters and critics by exploding against the formidable Hawks to help continue the Warriors' win streak.

Stephen Curry clowned the Hawks defenders, getting his shots off whenever he wanted. The team had a beautiful flow to their offense, as everyone shared the ball, and multiple players had double-digit scoring. Curry dropped nine three-pointers, and a lot of them were difficult ones hit from the deep.

Any coach would love coaching the greatest shooter ever. Despite coaching Curry since 2014, Coach Kerr is still at a loss for words when he sees otherworldly performances from Stephen Curry. Kerr said after the game:

"He's amazing. I wanna say I've never seen anything like i,t but I've watched him for 7 years...it's still incredible to watch."

San Francisco Giants and MLB superstar Buster Posey announced his retirement earlier this week. That reminded Bay Area fans that professional sports careers can end in a flash. Stephen Curry is arguably the most prominent Bay Area athlete right now, but nobody is taking him for granted.
