How getting kicked out of an AAU practice shaped Brandin Podziemski into Warriors' $110M man
Brandin Podziemski's confidence brought him to a five-year, $110 million extension with Golden State. It might not have happened if Antonio Curro hadn't tossed him out of practice in Wisconsin at 17.
On September 2020, in a sweltering gym dubbed the Warehouse in Wisconsin, Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski sat in his car after being kicked out of practice by his coach Antonio Curro. This moment, seven years later, marked the beginning of Podziemski's journey to becoming a $110 million man. Though he could have left at that moment, he returned to the gym, apologized to Curro, and underwent a significant change in his mindset.
Under Curro's mentorship, Podziemski learned the importance of humility and the need to embrace team culture. Now, at 23 years old, Podziemski has secured a four-year, $110 million contract with the Warriors, a testament to his growth and determination.
