Stephen Curry is regarded as the greatest shooter in the history of basketball. NBA fans everywhere presumably understand Curry doesn't shoot the lights out from long range without putting in an incredible amount of work each offseason. However, his shooting drills and workout videos aren't often released to the public.

This week, an intense Curry workout video resurfaced, and NBA fans everywhere, were afforded the privilege of seeing a private moment of Curry performing the "full-court star" drill. While this video is from 2023, Curry is in the midst of his current offseason training program, preparing for season No. 17 with the Golden State Warriors.

Steph Curry's Video Reinforces Strong Work Ethic to Warriors Teammates

Curry continues to work with basketball trainer, Brandon Payne, whom he's worked with since his rookie season in the NBA (2009-10).

The intense workout video was reposted by @TheHoopHerald on X. The original video was posted by @TheWarriorsTalks and has been viewed over 3.1 million times.

The post explains exactly how the "full-court star" shooting drill works, and the consequences for not successfully completing the drill.

"In this highly difficult drill Steph runs full court sprints to each spot behind the arc. Corner to corner, wing to wing, top of the key to top of the key. In order to pass the drill he needs to make 8/10 shots and complete the task in under 55 seconds. Here he completes the drill in just under 50 seconds shooting 8 of 10. If he fails the drill he shoots two free throws and does it again until he successfully completes it." the post reads.

Rumors and reported trade offers for Jonathan Kuminga, have filled the headlines around the Warriors this offseason. However, it appears Kuminga will stay put for the foreseeable future.

He's getting set to enter the 2025-26 NBA season as a restricted free agent. With Kuminga continuing to refuse the Warriors reported two-year, $45 million contract offer, and the Warriors asking price for the 22-year-old forward remaining too rich for other team's blood, Kuminga will most likely stay in a Warriors jersey this year alongside the sharp-shooting Curry.
