Stephen Curry is looking forward to the challenge of the Golden State Warriors largely starting from scratch again after five straight Finals berths. 

Curry played in just five games last season and will be without Klay Thompson for the second straight season.

"To kind of have a fresh reset from the five-year run was -- I wouldn't call it necessary because I would have loved to have been playing last year, but it was useful," Curry said Wednesday during an interview on "Damon, Ratto & Kolsky" on KGMZ-FM 95.7 The Game in San Francisco. "And now it's about turning that into momentum coming in this season. And I think a leader, and with me [and] Draymond [Green] and what we have to accomplish this year, hopefully gives us a little chip on our shoulder, a fresh perspective, and understanding what the challenge is ahead of us. We've had a lot of successes, a lot of experiences these last five years, [it's] been a crazy roller coaster. It almost feels like we're starting at ground zero again which is kind of awesome."

Curry is confident Draymond Green will also rebound.

"This guy, Draymond Green, who we've known has been counted out before he even stepped foot on the NBA level, has always found a way to figure it out and found a way to be impactful at the highest level, that defensive monster and impact winning games, so I have the utmost confidence in the way he's kind of been talking to be personally and just understanding what we have to accomplish left together.

"And I think it's about just for him getting out there on the floor and doing it. We can talk all we want to, but we got to get out there and do it and show. Everybody's in that recency bias, 'What have you done for me lately?' I belong to that camp sometimes, but it's all about what we do."
