He's elevated teams: Curry heaps praise on Paul
During Sunday's game, Curry was asked about the Warriors' acquisition of Paul and the 35-year-old point guard said, " So CP has a very defined skill set in what he's done for his whole career, which is why he's one of the greatest point guards to play. And the way that he sees the game, I think that'll fit anywhere."
Talking about Paul's impact on his former teams in his career, Curry stated, "He's elevated teams that he's been on his entire career, so I expect the same with us, knowing that we're trying to get back to the mountaintop and how it'll look, we'll see.
"But I just know we're all committed to winning. That's the beauty of how we're built. So that was obviously big news, but one of the bigger dominoes to fall was Draymond resigning," added Curry.
