Curry has been instrumental in the Warriors' recent success, contributing to three NBA titles in four seasons, including their fourth championship win in 2022. A two-time league MVP and a ten-time NBA All-Star, Curry's impact on the game is undeniable. Despite a strong start to the 2024-25 season, the Warriors are currently 15-13 and hold the eighth spot in the Western Conference. Following their absence from the playoffs last season, the team is determined to improve their standing, and the upcoming February trade deadline will be crucial for their playoff aspirations. Their Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Lakers is a significant moment in their season.
