"He's back there in the corner. I know he writes his own stuff. He's got his own material. I told him he manifested this because he never really acknowledged how much I wanted to win this, and it's special," Curry told reporters after the win. "I don't know what you're going to have for next year. I'm looking forward to the creativity. It will be fun to come back.
"You know I'll be back next year trying to defend a title, which is great."
Curry certainly hopes his title defense goes better than the Warriors' did this past season, as the team was bounced from the second round of playoffs less than a year after winning the 2022 NBA Finals.
