Monta Ellis welcomed rookie Stephen Curry to the Warriors last season with comments suggesting that they would be unsuccessful playing at the same time.

"A month before the season was over with, I really had to sit back and blame myself in a sense because I'm that leader; I'm that one who everybody feeds off of," Ellis said. "Everything that went on last year (regarding Curry) shouldn't have gone on. I blame myself."

Ellis said he made amends with Curry this summer. Curry attend the wedding of Ellis in July, while the only other current teammate present was Devean George.

"When I made that comment, I wasn't knocking him," Ellis said. "I wasn't bashing him. It was based off of what me and the Warriors were going through at the time. It had nothing to do with him.
