Throughout the airing of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” it’s easy to spot parallels between the Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls and the recent championship run of the Golden State Warriors. However, the Warriors won’t be getting the documentary-style treatment.
Despite Golden State’s five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, the Warriors turned down the opportunity to have documentary cameras follow the team throughout the 2018-19 season. According to Stephen Curry, it was the right decision to reject camera crews from the Golden State locker room.
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the two-time Most Valuable Player shared his thoughts on the Warriors getting The Last Dance treatment.
Via Curry on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
Yes and no. So, I got plenty of footage on my phone that would — I guess in today’s age — can be actually the most entertaining content, but the no part — our team when we were going through these five finals runs the last five years. Our last year, we turned down an opportunity, I believe to have cameras follow our last season. I think that was the right decision. There’s plenty of good content to hopefully maybe 20 years down the line, let’s revisit what we’ve been through.

Although he said it was the right decision, Curry didn’t completely rule out the idea of a Golden State documentary. Between Kevin Durant’s departure, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins and Klay Thompson’s NBA Finals injury, there wouldn’t be a shortage of storylines.
However, once Curry and Thompson return to the Warriors healthy, the Splash Brothers duo could tack on a few more chapters to Golden State’s story.
The final two episodes of The Last Dance are slated to air on Sunday at 6 p.m. PT.
