Similar to Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar Lebron James, Stephen Curry is doing all he can to focus on the Warriors' upcoming title run fully by getting rid of unnecessary distractions. The reigning MVP has lately told ESPN's Chris Haynes that all social media apps were deleted from his phone before the start of the playoffs with the reason being that this upcoming championship run as all of Curry's undivided attention.

Stephen Curry is not the only player to do this
Four Time MVP, Lebron James who played a huge role in the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 championship run is known for disappearing from social media throughout the playoffs. These actions by James are especially hard to handle for hip hop fans around this time of the year. James is known to be one of the first people to have unreleased music leaked to his Instagram fan base of approximately 30 million followers which features some of the rap games' biggest names such as Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
Stephen Curry nevertheless assures people he did not get inspiration to rid himself of social media by Lebron James "I didn't do it because he did it. I'm not reinventing the wheel," Curry reveals to ESPN. "It's just a way to help me keep my focus on what's important." Stephen Curry was not available for additional questions after the interview he obviously won't be as he would be locked in for the playoffs which are something he was known for tweeting before every game this season.
