Steph Curry: USA 'Have Appropriate Fear' for South Sudan After Close Exhibition Win

Golden State Warriors and Team USA basketball star Stephen Curry made it clear Tuesday that he and his teammates are not taking their upcoming game against South Sudan lightly.

According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Curry echoed a sentiment often pushed by his Warriors and Team USA head coach Steve Kerr, saying: "We have appropriate fear. We know we can't just sleepwalk through any game and feel like you're going to win."

The Americans' fear is well founded, as they were pushed to their limits by South Sudan in an exhibition game earlier this month, narrowly avoiding a massive upset with a razor-thin 101-100 victory.
