Stephen Curry is still one of the NBA’s premier superstars, and he looks to keep the new-look Golden State Warriors relevant as they begin their 16th season in the league.
He is considered one of the most beloved and bankable superstars in any sport, and sometimes has a tendency to do a little dance after making a big shot or play.
During a team practice, he showed off a bit of his dancing ability after getting help from Buddy Hield.

The Warriors’ championship dynasty, which delivered four rings over a span of eight seasons, may be over, but Curry is still an elite weapon for them.
He saw his overall shooting percentage drop to 45.0 percent, well below his career mark, but he still averaged 26.4 points and 5.1 assists a game while making 40.8 percent of his 3-point attempts.
This season, he will be without his longtime backcourt partner Klay Thompson, who left in free agency this summer to join the defending Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks.
The Warriors chose Hield in an attempt to replace Thompson, and Thompson has historically provided them with hot 3-point shooting.
Hield is a few inches shorter than Thompson and isn’t as much of a defensive standout as Thompson, but he’s a legitimate 3-point sniper who made 38.6 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc last season.
Golden State missed the playoffs last season, and at the very least, they are looking to get back to the playoffs this time.
