Steph Curry shares emotional post mourning the loss of Warriors legend Al Attles

Steph Curry opened up about his grief following the loss of Warriors legend Al Attles in a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday. Attles, 87, was an integral part of the Warriors era during the late 1960s and 1970s, leading them to their first championship in the West Coast Era with a 4-0 sweep over the Washington Bullets in the 1975 NBA Finals.

Following the news of his passing, social media was awash with tributes from fans and former players.

Curry, who is widely regarded as the greatest Warrior, paid an emotional tribute on Instagram. The 36-year-old posted a picture of himself greeting Attles from the 2015 NBA Finals:

"Very sad day for the whole arena and all Warriors fans," he wrote. "Al Attles was a pioneer of professionalism, courage, competitiveness and blazed his own trail every step of the way. His DNA is all over this organization. Forever in our hearts and the rafter #16,” he concluded.

Steph Curry makes noteworthy changes to his Instagram handle

Olympic gold was the gaping hole in Steph Curry’s already remarkable CV.

A week has passed since arguably one of the greatest Olympic basketball matches ever played, and it looks like Curry is still basking in the glory of winning an Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games.

While Steph Curry is currently enjoying a well-deserved vacation with his family in the United States, he has made a noteworthy change to his Instagram bio.

He previously had the bio written as "Guard for the Warriors," but he has now removed that and replaced it with "Olympic Gold Medalist."

There's no need to speculate anything; it's clear that he’s still feeling the excitement of winning his Olympic gold after missing out on the previous three Games owing to injury.

At Paris, though, he left a lasting impression, draining four three-pointers in the final three minutes of the gold medal game to win the gold medal against Victor Wembanyama and the host nation France. Curry finished with a game-high 24 points, all of which came from beyond the arc.

After the game, he was mobbed by LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and the rest of his teammates who had helped make his ultimate dream come true. Like it was destiny, written in the stars.
