Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry told NBA reporter Anthony Slater of The Athletic that his basketball fit with Chris Paul has been “seamless” thus far.
Curry and Paul, two of the best guards in NBA history, played a lot of basketball together over the summer, so their chemistry is ahead of schedule.
Paul averaged 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists last season for the Phoenix Suns while shooting 44.0% from the field, 37.5% from beyond the arc and 83.1% from the free-throw line. The Suns traded Paul to the Wizards in the Bradley Beal trade and then Washington dealt him to Golden State. Paul was on a plane to New York when Phoenix traded him. He was then playing basketball at his gym in North Carolina when the Warriors acquired him.

Paul is 38 and no longer a superstar in the NBA. However, he can focus on passing with the Warriors since Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins will be the primary scorers.
In 56 games for the Warriors last season, Curry put up 29.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game while shooting 49.3% overall, 42.7% from 3 and 91.5% from the foul line. Golden State beat the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 2023 playoffs in seven games but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round in six games.
