Winning three straight titles in the NBA is somewhat of a rarity with only three franchises completing historic three-peats.
Part of that elite club are the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers, but the Golden State Warriors are looking to join that exclusive group.
Under the leadership of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the Warriors are primed to earn their third straight title but the two-time MVP knows it’s not going to be easy work.
“We want more. We want to be able to accomplish the ultimate feat of winning the championship every single year,” said Curry Friday during his press conference for his Under Armor Asia Tour at Shangri-La.
“You put in the hours every single day to get the right mindset and take advantage of a short basketball career. I’m trying to do everything to get better, conditioning, strength, skill work, and I will have to sharpen all the tools that I have.”
Golden State already had three titles under its name having won the trophy in 1947, 1958, and 1975, and Curry has since then led the Warriors to three more in 2015, 2017, and 2018.
During the Curry era, Golden State’s only finals loss was in 2016 during Cleveland’s historic run that erased a 3-1 series deficit.
Curry is also aware that competition is about to get tougher in the Western Conference LeBron James, his nemesis in all of his championship series, moved to Los Angeles to join the Lakers.
“The competition in the NBA is on an all-time high and the Western Conference is tough,” said Curry. “We know what it takes and we’re ready to go.”
“I have to be in charge of the whole show and make sure everybody’s in the right place.”
