Steph Curry spends time with ‘We Believe’ Warriors legend at UCLA

Former Warriors, and “We Belive” era hero, Baron Davis was in attendance at UCLA for the Warriors recent practice, and Stephen Curry showed his respect for the retired guard.

There is no doubt that when Stephen Curry is around the Golden State Warriors, everything just feels better around the squad. Golden State plays with a higher level of energy and there’s an extra coach on the bench. As he’s taking steps towards returning from a broken hand injury he suffered in late October, the two-time Most Valuable Player has been able to be around the team on a more consistent basis.

Curry has been able to be at practice in San Francisco, with his most recent hurdle traveling on road trips with Golden State. However, Curry was able to leap that mark, and travel with the team on their recent two-game road trip starting in Los Angeles and ending in Memphis.

While the Warriors were in Los Angeles, they had a pregame shootaround in Pasadena at the UCLA basketball gym. UCLA alum and current Warriors center, Kevon Looney led the team into practice at his old stomping grounds, but he wasn’t the only former Bruin in attendance.

Former Golden State point guard, Baron Davis was at practice watching his former NBA team. After finishing up his shooting workout with Draymond Green, current Warriors’ guard, Curry said hello to the ‘We Beleive’ era legend.

After the practice, Davis took to Twitter to say Curry is one of his favorite all-time players.

Davis, who spent three seasons in Golden State from 2005-2008 retired in 2012. However, Davis hasn’t left the game completely, participating in the ‘Big 3’ League for “Three’s Company.” Davis was inducted to the UCLA Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.

Most notably, Davis led the Warriors to an improbable playoff upset in 2007 against the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors “We Believe” playoff run was punctuated with a vicious Dunk by Davis over Andrei Kirilenko and the Utah Jazz in the second round.

Outside of Curry, Green and a few journeyman NBA veterans, the Golden State current roster is extremely young, Having a 13-year NBA veteran around the team, even if it’s just for one practice could provide a boost to a team that’s currently riding a seven-game losing streak.
