Yaxel Lendeborg is getting a first-hand look at just how much work goes into being Steph Curry, and its given him a new appreciation for the Warriors superstar.The Golden State rookie explained that watching 38-year-old Curry play up close has helped him understand why he needs such incredible conditioning, speaking on Kevin OConnors podcast.Besides all the movement moving stuff that he does, now that Im watching it first hand, like hes really getting grabbed and held every single play, no freedom of movement. Thats kind of why he has to run away, Lendeborg said. Hes essentially getting away, like hes being chased around all day.Thats where all that stamina comes from and all those practice reps of him just running around screens and looking crazy, but its really needed for him to be able to get the ball or get open looks.The four-time NBA champion continues to defy his age with his performances, but his work away from the ball is just as impressive.Even during Golden States blowout win over the Pelicans on Wednesday, Curry was spotted riding the exercise bike on the sideline.Steph chilling on the bike up 48 Gotta get cardio in somehow https://t.co/A0ZrR1tnHl NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) November 10, 2026He is just a different breed.Lendeborg is quickly becoming one of Currys biggest admirers.The rookie, who streams under the name LordLendeborg on Kick, recently revealed he plans to replace his Michael Jordan poster with one of his new teammate.Yall see the GOAT over there, Lendeborg said, pointing to a poster on his wall of Jordan shooting a free throw.Im gonna change it to a Steph Curry poster, guys.
