TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
05:37 What do you think Tuesday is going to be like?
05:41 STEPH CURRY: I don't know, actually. We've had homecomings before, but nothing like this with the level of impact and the brand of Klay in the Bay Area is something that I don't know. I don't know if any word I — or way I explain it will do it justice. We obviously have a game to play. So you want to make sure you're locked in mentally on that, but he deserves the celebration and the welcome that he's going to get. And then, like I talked about before, it would be a great opportunity to reflect on all the memories that we had. I don't want to be too crazy where it's not a memorial or like a (inaudible), like, we're still talking about basketball and life, but you want to enjoy the moment of getting the celebration that he deserves and however it plays out. I just hope he feels the love because he deserves it.
06:47 Has it been weird for you to see him in a Mavericks shirt?
06:53 Yeah, I mean, that's kind of like every teammate that you have a history with, for sure. Klay is just, I mean, the tenure. I played with him for 13 years. So, definitely is different. And it's weird seeing 31. I hate that.
07:05 Ah, I just love that. I think just good momentum and not trying to ride the emotional rollercoaster of people declaring who we are as a team too early. It doesn't really matter. It's just win games and build that identity as you go. I think Houston and DC, those are games you probably say we should win. And Boston, Cleveland, OKC. It's — we understand they're the best teams in the league and have been for, besides Cleveland, like a couple of years. So you go in with the idea that if you play sound basketball, you should be able to win. You go 2-1 in that stretch and it's great. So I don't think it would matter how the games would have fallen if you said 4-1 on the road trip. When you get on the plane leaving San Francisco, you'll take that in a hot second and get back home. So I'm excited about continuing to build momentum. I remember last year how we had a good start and then the wheels fell off a little bit. So you want to keep pushing in the right direction. And we're doing that.
08:10 Just what are the initial feelings about going back to Golden State, a place you played for 13 seasons. So what are those initial emotions?
08:22 KLAY THOMPSON: Be good to see people that you grinded with, obviously, but to me, it's just another regular season game in November. Obviously, there's bigger implications with the NBA Cup. So that's what's on our mind is — in my mind — just to win that, because I haven't been a part of it yet. I know it's young, but it'd be fun to play for that title.
08:44 Yeah. Do you think it'll be difficult to kind of compartmentalize just everything that you're probably going to feel, going into the arena and actually playing in the game?
08:54 No, I don't think so. I've been doing this a long time and basketball is basketball.
09:00 Were you surprised that they're giving out the captain's hats?
09:06 I guess it's a good thing for the fans, so kudos to them.
09:11 What are your thoughts on them as…
