The Golden State Warriors have seen new life injected into their franchise thanks to the immediate impact of rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. The Warriors' 2026 first round pick has come out on fire and helped the franchise to eight straight wins after starting the 2026-27 regular season 0-3.
Lendeborg has also been an active streamer, going online and talking to his fans throughout the season. In one of his latest streams, the Warriors rookie made sure to put Dubs fans at ease.
On the left side of Yaxel Lendeborg's room, he has a poster of Hall-of-Famer and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. During a recent stream, Lendeborg says he plans to replace that poster with a new one of his Golden State Warriors teammate: Stephen Curry.
“Y'all see the GOAT over there,” Yaxel Lendeborg said on his live stream. “I'm going to change it to a Steph Curry poster guys, don't worry. My real GOAT, my glorious king. My one and only.”

Lendeborg has been impressive in the first 11 games of his NBA career, averaging 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 0.7 blocks while shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 44.3 percent from three. He went off for a career-high 37 points with four rebounds and six assists against the LA Clippers earlier this month in a game that Stephen Curry and Draymond Green missed due to rest purposes.
Now in his 18th season in the NBA, Lendeborg's teammate Stephen Curry is having arguably the best start to a season of his career. Through his first nine appearances, Curry is averaging 30.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.0 steal while shooting 50.3 percent from the field and 45.7 percent from three.
