The Golden State Warriors had shoot around before they took on the Houston Rockets. Head coach Steve Kerr talked about a lot of things.
One of the things Kerr talked about was superstar Stephen Curry's leadership. He compared him to San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan.

Kerr brought up about how Curry and his personality keeps the locker room intact with so many egos.
Steve Kerr calls Steph Curry the “short Tim Duncan” in regards to his personality helping keep locker room together: “Pop would tell you. Well, actually Pop would not tell you, but we went through a lot of things back then.”

It is a pretty interesting comparison to make. Whatever Curry does behind closed doors certainly seems to be working and you want that type of player on your team.
With as many egos the Warriors team has, it is important to have at least a player or two like Curry who can help smooth things over and keep everyone in check.
With the incident that happened Monday night, Curry invited Green over to get his side of the story to try and smooth things over. It seems like what Curry ever did may have worked. Durant and Green were seen talking before shoot around and it looked like they were getting along.
If the Warriors star fixed the relationship between those two, that could do wonders next summer when the recruiting process for Durant starts.
