Photo Gallery: Steph Curry win at ACC, hole-in-one + Seth, Dell, Andre Iguodala

And on the day of Stephen Curry’s Underrated documentary release (more on this in a future post), we bring you our annual photo gallery from the American Century championship! These also include select pictures of Seth Curry, Andre Iguodala and Dell Curry. Oh, and Canon! Note: if you’re reading this via newsletter, the entire (gargantuan) gallery does not fit in the email.

I’ll do a quickie write-up within the next few days of Steph actually winning the tournament, as I didn’t want to delay the photos any longer. There are a ton of quotes and videos and extra footage and interviews that you may not have seen yet. Those will obviously be in that new article.

In the past, we have had the gallery in a different format, for example as a compilation in video form on our YouTube channel — here’s the one from 2022: https://youtu.be/yEDD53Fy5Xg

And here’s our Curry Golf Playlist, which has all content from this and previous years: link

But this year is the first time I’ve tried to put the gallery on this Substack site. Here’s the problem: you can only upload nine pics at a time and, as I found out the hard way, the tech does not play nice if you have files over 25 Mb. So I had to take some time to wrestle with Substack and reduce the file sizes accordingly. Note that I’ve never used Photoshop (and still haven’t, as I found an easier-yet-still-painstaking workaround).

But file manipulation pales in comparison to the actual taking of the photos, a far more grueling task. That credit goes to Bianca Rhodes of B.Marie Photography. She walked all 54 holes in the 80+ degree weather. Every moment, she had to be in the right place at the right time and on that rare occasion, maybe Wardell happened to look right at the camera (see below!).

Incidentally, I was told the Warriors TV crew of Victor Keys and Janet Fong walked 72 holes (the three rounds plus the 18 practice holes on Thursday), so kudos to them as well for all the footage they put up on the official @warriors accounts.

But back to B.Marie Photography, who has been the driving force behind 99% of our Golden State Warriors photo galleries since Steph’s Curry3 shoe release in the summer of 2016, a span which covers five — it might be six, my math could be wrong — American Century Championships (!).

Just have a look below. Curry is the “Magician of the Moment” and B.Marie Photography is how you extend joy to a shelf life of forever.

All of the pics — presented in reverse chronological order, starting with the eagle on 18 — obviously have the LetsGoWarriors watermark on them; this is for our own protection out there in the jungle of social media, of course, but each photo is also available via the SmugMug website for prints starting as low as $2.99 each or coffee mugs or mouse pads or books, or maybe you’d like a custom-made whatever. Email me at rich@letsgowarriors.com and I’ll put you in touch.
