Not even the coronavirus pandemic is preventing the Golden State Warriors from working out as a team. With strict social distancing measures in place, though, the Dubs have gotten creative with their work outs, and have resorted to the use of technology in what they're labeling as “virtual workouts.”
Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are just a couple of players that are participating in the “Tour de Warriors” race, a virtual competition where the players go against each other on their stationary bikes. The report comes via Ben Cohen of The Wall Street Journal.
(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.
Given Green's extremely competitive nature, this news bit does not come as a surprise at all. Curry admitted that he's not at the same level as his teammate just yet, but that he's aiming to take Green down soon.
“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.”
It's great to hear that the Warriors are not only keeping in touch during the lockdown but more importantly, are keeping their camaraderie and physical conditions up to speed.
