Stephen Curry and Warriors media day: Behind the scenes of the superstar’s ‘marathon’

It was after a makeup artist dabbed him with fake sweat but before a director asked him to bark like a seal that Stephen Curry sustained a minor injury that nearly cut his marathon media day duties short Monday.

Of all things, an overhead camera conked the superstar on the head during filming of a promo that was supposed to air on the Golden State Warriors scoreboard this season. Curry suffered what a team spokesman later described as a “kink” in his neck.

Curry was fine by nightfall and ready for the first practice by the time training camp opened Tuesday in Hawaii. But the injury was enough to require the attention of a Warriors trainer and knocked out the most sought-after attraction at media day for nearly 30 minutes.

The bad neck put a kink in Curry’s schedule too. He lost time he didn’t have to spare. By the time he returned to the madness, Curry hustled from a radio station interview to a TV promo shoot to a team photo op to something called the “Hype Room” as if on a fast break.

Media day is just a tad different than it was in 2010.

“It’s evolved crazy from my rookie year to now,” Curry, a 16-year-veteran said, as he navigated a Chase Center floor. “You know you’re in for a marathon.”
