Warriors Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg Chooses Between Michael Jordan And Steph Curry

Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg announced during a Kick live stream that he is replacing his Michael Jordan poster with one of teammate Stephen Curry. The 24-year-old rookie declared Curry to be his "real GOAT." Lendeborg admitted that he previously disliked Curry due to being a Kyrie Irving fan, but playing alongside him has completely altered his perspective.

Lendeborg has made an immediate impact for Golden State, averaging 21.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists through his first 11 games. Warriors legend Chris Mullin highlighted Lendeborg as an early Rookie of the Year favorite who altered the team's trajectory while Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody missed time with injuries.
