But keeping Curry in his prime is also directly linked to how many players can help him on the court. Not feeling like he is carrying the team on his own will be a great motivator for what he feels he can accomplish in the season. Winning last season’s Finals MVP was a great wake-up call for him. From that moment forward, Curry knows he can’t play all the minutes like he used to.
