Report: Warriors may allow fans in early to watch Curry warm up

Reigning NBA Most Valuable Stephen Curry is becoming just as much of an attraction during his pregame warmups as he is when he's lighting up opposing teams for a league-high 32 points a night for the Golden State Warriors.

"The Chef" makes shooting, dribbling, and passing drills a grand spectacle due to his elite precision in all three areas. It's no wonder fans pile in at the earliest moment to catch a glimpse of the 27-year-old work his magic prior to games.

The Warriors may start allowing the viewing public to enter Oracle Arena half an hour earlier than usual - the standard policy is fans entering the building 90 minutes before tipoff - so they may witness more of Curry's routine before he heads back to the locker room area, according to the Wall Street Journal's Ben Cohen.

"As far as people coming to watch someone warm up, I've never seen anything like that," Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Rusty Simmons. "It's like he's a zoo animal."

Several of Curry's pregame exploits have been documented for the entertainment of basketball fans everywhere, from his deep ball displays ...

... to his mesmerizing dribbling exhibits:

Curry, who was recently named Western Conference Player of the Month for November, doesn't let the extra attention he receives before games faze him, as he greatly appreciates the enormous backing he has from admirers and supporters.

"It's cool. It's interesting to me," Curry said. "I'm just getting up shots. I'm just trying to keep my routine and stay focused. ... After I'm done, I try to wave to them or something and take in that moment, because you don't want to take that support for granted."
