The Golden State Warriors were easily able to fend off the rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers. The team won by a 20-point margin led by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s explosive performances. But Curry started reminiscing about some of the good old days while talking to the media post-game.

Stephen Curry has always had talented players around him. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are perfect examples. But the same cannot be said for big men in the recent past, leading Curry to give flowers to former Warriors center.

That is when Curry said, “I’m sitting here reminiscing about number 31 I used to play with back in the day.” Here, Curry was talking about his former teammate turned-reporter, Festus Ezeli.

Festus Ezeli played three seasons with the Golden State Warriors and won his first and only championship alongside Stephen Curry in 2015. Being 6’11, Ezeli was a tad bigger than Kevon Looney and more agile off his feet too.

Curry talks about the current bigs on the team

Stephen Curry’s post-game press conference was not just about him reminiscing about Festus Ezeli. He then went on to talk about the current big men that the Golden State Warriors possess on their roster.

Curry went on to add, “It’s great, though. Because, like I said, Loon (Looney) gives us a certain look at that position. Trayce is obviously learning from him, where to be and understanding, especially on defense. How to be one step ahead. But on offense, it’s a change of pace.” 

“It just seems like he’s understanding the angles on screens and the timing of those rolls. Whether it’s a lob or whether it’s a drop-down pass, or him getting to the basket. It applies a lot of pressure to the defenses, especially with the shooting that we have around and the way the ball moves. So, that’s why he’s making such a big impact on the last four games.”

The Warriors may have plenty of power forwards but no true center on the team. Which makes you wonder, did Golden State make the right move trading away James Wiseman? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
