The Golden State Warriors have won seven straight games for a 7-3 start to the 2026-27 NBA campaign. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg has been a revelation, and Stephen Curry shows no signs of slowing down in his 18th NBA season.

In fact, the future Hall of Famer is having his best season in quite some time, leading the Warriors on this red-hot run.

Bill Simmons Praises Stephen Curry’s Historic Performance During Warriors’ Win Streak

On the latest episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Bill Simmons talked about how special Curry’s recent run has been, especially when factoring in the roster’s thin depth outside of him and Lendeborg.

“Yaxel is the only good teammate he has. [Brandin Podziemski] is ok. Draymond [Green] is at a different phase of his career … Steph is like 2022 playoffs Steph right now. I don’t know how long it’s going to last, but it’s incredible … This has never happened in the history of the league. A [38-year-old] guard scoring 30 a game? This is [expletive] crazy,” Simmons said.

Curry is averaging 31.3 points, 4.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 29.6 minutes per game this season. Over his last seven games, he is shooting a blistering-hot 50.0% from the field, 46.2% from beyond the arc, and a near-perfect 98.3% from the free-throw line.

The 12-time All-Star scored 41 points in the Warriors’ 126-119 overtime win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday. The performance marked Curry’s second 40-point explosion during Golden State’s winning streak. He finished with a season-high 44 points on Oct. 28 in a 119-114 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Simmons was amazed at how Curry drove by Orlando’s best defenders in clutch time. If the two-time MVP consistently breaks the paint and remains a blow-by threat, it only opens up his lethal 3-point shooting even more.

Curry played just 43 games in 2025-26, injuries sidelining him for roughly two months. Questions arose about whether Father Time was catching up to him this summer. However, his on-court performance proves the four-time NBA champion has a lot left in the tank.

Yaxel Lendeborg’s Impressive NBA Start

Lendeborg also turned in a stellar performance against the Magic with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. This game brought him up to 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.0 steals on the campaign.

The No. 11 pick this summer is putting up a strong case for Rookie of the Year honors, factoring in both individual and team success.

Draymond Green had some high praise for Lendeborg heading into this season and picked him to win the award. “The Golden State Warriors [have] found the next face of the franchise,” Green said.

Lendeborg is certainly living up to Green’s hype. His outstanding start to his career gives Curry a running mate and the Warriors a chance to capture another championship in the Curry era.
