“It’s my job”: Brandin Podziemski eyes to become next Stephen Curry for Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors young guard Brandin Podziemski is hoping
to become a player who will fill the void that will be created after the
retirement of star player Stephen Curry.
The 20-year-old was recently quoted in a report where he
stated that he is looking forward to filling the void in the future and also
heaped praise on Curry, who according to him is ‘amazing’, not only as an athlete
but with his off-the-field traits as well.
“When he retires, in how many years that may be, I feel like
it’s my job to fulfill what he’s doing,” said Podziemski. “[Curry’s] amazing. Just
to see the things he does, as a husband, father, [and] businessman. To see how
he treats people — he’s never too good for anybody. He always wants to be
treated just like everybody else.
“You know, for some stars, that may be different. They
[might] want a different reality of life. But Steph’s one of those guys who
doesn’t care. He just wants to be like everybody else. [He] just wants a chance
to play basketball. He loves it for the right reason.
“To see how he is with his wife, Ayesha, his kids and how he
treats all of his teammates and the staff -- it’s something you look up to.
Talking about his relationship with Curry, Podziemski stated
that the 35-year-old has been a great help, on and off the court.
“He did a really good job the first day I was a Warrior,” he
said. “Just reaching out, FaceTiming me and talking with me — he just kind of
opened that relationship up to start. He’s been a great vet toward me. Anything
I’ve ever needed on the court [and] off the court, he’s been there to take care
of me. So, I’m super appreciative and thankful for that.”
