Stephen Curry, the star player of the Golden State Warriors, recently shared valuable advice for the top high school basketball players in the US during his Curry Camp. As he prepares the next generation of basketball players, Curry emphasized an important factor for success that these young athletes should not overlook: communication.
While talent and hard work are crucial for a player’s success, Curry highlighted the significance of effective communication on the court. He stressed that basketball is fundamentally a team game, and players must learn how to communicate effectively on the court and take leadership roles.
Curry mentioned that he noticed himself being the loudest person on the court during the camp, which he sees as a “problem” because it indicates that the players he’s teaching aren’t communicating enough. He further pointed out that “communication is the fabric of the team” and advised them to make their presence felt on every court they step onto.
As a four-time champion who has experienced the highs and lows of professional basketball, Curry’s advice carries weight. He understands what it takes to win, and his campers should certainly take heed of his advice to focus on improving their communication and leadership skills alongside their basketball abilities.
Some of the top high school stars in the nation attended Curry Camp, including the viral sensation Cooper Flagg and the 2026 class’s No. 1 prospect, AJ Dybantsa. Hopefully, these young players will be able to grow further, learning more than just basketball skills from the insights of the Warriors’ great player.
