Golden State Warriors' Top Three Stars Feel Confident About This Season's Team

Despite one of the weirdest offseasons in recent history, the Golden State Warriors are entering the 2025-26 NBA season with confidence. They have a veteran roster built around Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green, and the goal is clear: compete for another NBA championship. 

Many of the critics will point to the age of the Warriors' core as a reason for concern. Yes, the Warriors' top players are on the older side. However, the Warriors also have a handful of young guys to help support their veterans. 

The key to this season will be the development of those young players and the health of the Warriors' top three stars. We saw last season how great the Warriors could be when Butler and Curry were healthy, and the Warriors' veterans are taking that success as a reason for confidence moving into this year.

All three of the Warriors' superstars have done interviews and said just this. We are ready to compete at the highest level, and we are confident we can win an NBA championship. 

Curry told Malika Andrews, “We have a legitimate shot. We can square up against anybody in the West…Jimmy adds another dynamic…I’m excited to see it through.”

Jimmy Butler said, “You got a really good chance when 30, aka Batman, is on the floor. Life is good."

And of course, the always confident Draymond Green had this to say about the upcoming season: 

“I think this team has the ability to match different lineups…the versatility of this roster with adding Jimmy Butler and what it does against other matchups, it allows us to match up against anyone…I think that’s what you need to win a championship.”

Will the Warriors’ veterans be proven right? Or will injuries or Father Time be the thing that holds this core back? Within the Warriors, the confidence is high, but only time will tell if that confidence is warranted.
