Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo shares how Steph Curry’s leadership has blown his expectations “out of the water,” and compares it to his time in Milwaukee with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
After playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo for three-plus seasons on the Milwaukee Bucks, new Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo was blown away by Steph Curry, as both a player and person.
In speaking to reporters after Warriors practice Wednesday, DiVincenzo revealed that he was blown away at how great a leader Curry is both on and off the court and how the four-time NBA champion has exceeded all his expectations.

"And coming here, obviously hearing a bunch about Steph, he's really shocked me in terms of how down-to-earth as a person, down-to-earth as a leader and as a basketball player, how damn good he is."
DiVincenzo added that Curry's ability to always listen is what the former considers the "greatest thing" about the latter.
"I think that's what makes him such a great leader and such a great player, because obviously, he knows other people see different things and he could blow you off at any time but he doesn't and I think that's the biggest thing as a leader that's important," the 25-year-old said.
