Dorell Wright playing with Stephen Curry: The thing that stood out the most was his work ethic
Tony Allen: Did you see the upcoming of Stephen Curry when you were that early when you got there? Dorell Wright: Not in time, bro. Like I knew he was a good player.
I knew I was getting with a point guard that like to share it, could shoot it. One thing that stood out the most was the work ethic. It had been times me and Monta Ellis be like, "Yo, Steph, we got a game tonight.
" You know, it's an hour after shoot around, cuz me and Monta would go straight from shoot around to a lift all the time, and then you would see Steph through the window still on the court and it's like, "Bro, get some rest, bro. " You know, us teaching him like, "Yo, take care of yourself. " But he wanted it so bad, where nothing was going to deny that.
And he put the time in. He put the hours in. He was a good teammate.
We all know Steph is a solid dude. When it happened, I was definitely shocked, but I wasn't surprised because of me seeing when nobody was watching. He was really putting that time and work in.
