While Stephen Curry is known for being the greatest shooter ever, his training has become one of the more popular aspects of his game. Curry often uses the word “scrawny” to describe his stature from his college and primal years in the league. After being shoved around, Curry soon realized the importance of being strong. Apart from hitting the weight room, the Point Guard even works on his stamina like no other.

A huge part of Steph’s game involves moving without the ball. In order to remain healthy, the two-time Most Valuable Player performs some of the most outlandish workouts.

Paul George and Klay Thompson react to Luka Doncic working out with Stephen Curry

On the recent episode of Paul George’s podcast, Klay Thompson and the hosts had a brief discussion on Curry’s workouts. While a majority of the players in the league fail to keep up with the four-time champ, Thompson took pride in the fact that he could “hang in”. However, when the Davidson alum starts doing all the inane ball-handling drills, Thompson taps out. Despite being teammates with the nine-time All-Star for 12 years, Klay reveals still being in awe of Curry’s preparation.

“I could hang, especially for the shooting portion. But once he does this ball-handling with the tennis ball, he’s got these lights, you got all this like crazy, Globetrotter, jester stuff he’s doing. He juggles the ball, goes behind his back and I’m like ‘Bro I just need one-two dribbles to get my spot’. You know I’ve been his teammate for so long, I’m still in awe like of how he prepares.”

Further, the panel reacted to the viral video from 2018 where Steph worked out with Luka Doncic and Jalen Green. As seen in the clip, the Mavericks rookie was having a tough time performing the drills that the Warriors star was doing with the utmost ease. Joking about Doncic’s reaction in the video, PG13 and Thompson stated how he was “half-a**ing” the workout.

PG: “Luka was half-a**ing it.”

Thompson: “Luka’s like ‘What is this sh*t’? But Luka got handles.”

PG: “Yeah, he does. It looks like it was just intense for him.”

Working relentlessly on his conditioning has allowed Steph to perform at the highest level even at the age of 35. Goes without saying, there is still a lot left in his tank.
