As the Golden State Warriors conclude their campaign, Stephen Curry gets an excuse to leave the franchise. In the latest episode of Fox Sports Radio, Covino and Rich, the hosts debated over the possibility of the superstar leaving the franchise if they lose. While the conversations about loyalty and legacy made the frontline, one of the hosts pointed out a serious excuse. They referred to NFL legends Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers’s careers and gave an excuse for Curry to leave the Dubs’ fold.

Speaking of Tom Brady’s shift from the Patriots to the Buccaneers, the host said, “For as much as Tom Brady was motivated to want to show that he didn’t need Bill Belichick… I’m also sure he just wanted to see what it was like on another Squad.” Moreover, he topped it with an Aaron Rodgers example. “Just like Aaron Rodgers wanted out. So it wouldn’t be completely foreign.” 

Both NFL legends played the majority of their career in a single franchise until they changed it for the last few seasons. Tom Brady played 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, winning 6 Super Bowls. Despite creating a dynasty with the Patriots, he moved to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his 3 seasons and also won a Super Bowl there. On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers played 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers until he moved to the New York Jets for his last three.

However, in the case of Stephen Curry, the superstar has not only won 4 rings but also helped to grow the franchise. Addressing it, one of the hosts said, “The arena, the branding… Everything is because Steph brought what he did to the team… Everything about the Warriors was elevated because of Steph.” 

Before the start of the Warriors dynasty with the BIG-3, the total valuation of the team was around $360 million. Fast forward over a decade, the Dubs are currently the most valued team in the NBA, adorning $7.7 Billion as per Forbes with an explosion of fan base across the globe. Will Steph throw it all away after tonight’s loss?

Will the loss at Sac Town end of the Dubs union?

There isn’t a definite answer for now. But it sure did create waves in the NBA world regarding the demolition of the Big-3 fortress after tonight’s loss. The Dubs took on the Sacramento Kings in a do-or-die game to keep their 5th ring hope alive. Leading up to the game, fans expected Steph’s Game 7 performance against the Kings from last season.

However, it wasn’t anything closer to that. Steph could only drop 22 points with an underwhelming 8-16 FG. On top of it, the superstar didn’t receive enough support from anyone. Klay Thompson had the worst night of the season, going 0-10 FG. This was the first time since his rookie where Klay went off the floor without scoring a bucket. Draymond Green, on the other end, had a decent night, scoring 12 points with 6 assists.
