Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors would be very happy with their performances in the last couple of games. The Warriors and Curry have comfortably put aside their opponents as they finally try and gain stability for the season. Although the Dubs have wavered throughout the season, Curry has remained the strong pillar, looking like a different athlete altogether. The four-time NBA champion has credited the change to his wife Ayesha Curry.

Curry was asked about his recent change in physique after the win against the Utah Jazz. And the 34-year-old credited all of it to his wife, Ayesha Curry.

The secret to the physique of Stephen Curry

The 34-year-old has finally heard the call years later and has gradually put on muscle, with 15 lbs of it since the 2022 Finals. After the dominating win against the Utah Jazz, Stephen Curry was asked how he came about the process to put on so much muscle. And that too, in such a short period of time. 

A lot of good Ayesha’s cooking right there,” said Curry before banging the table, probably because he was ecstatic about their win. The NBA superstar’s wife is a chef and had her own cooking show for a while. Her interest has led her to write a couple of cookbooks titled ‘The Seasoned Life’ and ‘The Full Plate’.

On being asked how it helped his game, Curry replied “Just taking on, you know, physical defenses. And even defensively being able to take, you know, certain blows guard bigger guys and not get knocked around. And you.. With the added strength. I’ve kept my endurance where it goes, hand in hand.”

Curry’s presence on the Warriors

If the four-time NBA Champion’s career wasn’t proof of his legacy, his performance in last season’s finals wouldn’t have left any doubts. The Warriors in the 2022-23 season have struggled without Curry on the squad and excelled with him on the team. The loss against the New Orleans Pelicans is a prime example of it.
