James added, "[Curry] puts in the work. And when you put in the work, nine times out of 10 you're going to see the results. And he's done that throughout his whole entire career. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Steph and everything he's been able to accomplish, not only on the floor but also off the floor, too. It's just great to have people like that in this league to set an example for the generation to come."
