Golden State Warriors All-Stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have Peloton bikes at their homes and have been participating in morning virtual group rides, per Ben Cohen of the Wall Street Journal.
Warriors players can't go to the Chase Center to work on their games and bodies while the NBA season is indefinitely suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So, Curry and Green decided to kick things up a notch with their Peloton bikes, via Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area:
(Steph Curry) does have a Peloton bike at home. As it turns out, he’s not the only one: The Warriors have been going for a group ride in the morning.
The invitation goes out on a Slack group — Curry admits to skipping one class because he didn’t see the message — and then a maniacally competitive bicyclist named Draymond Green attempts to destroy everyone around him, according to a person familiar with the rides.
“In the Tour de Warriors,” Curry said, “I’m above average, but I’m not on the podium yet. I have to figure out how to get there. There’s always something to shoot for.”
NBA players have to do something at home to stay in shape in case the 2019-20 season resumes in the summer or fall.
The Warriors had the worst record in the NBA before the season was suspended. Curry only appeared in five games due to a broken left hand he suffered in the fourth game of the season after Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes landed on his hand.
The Dubs should be playoff contenders whenever the 2020-21 season starts since star shooting guard Klay Thompson will be back in the lineup.
