The NBA champion Golden State Warriors plan to put on a memorable show for Japanese fans when they battle the Washington Wizards in a pair of preseason exhibition games at Saitama Super Arena near Tokyo, superstar point guard Stephen Curry said Thursday.

Curry, who led Golden State to the NBA title for a fourth time in June, said Friday and Sunday's friendlies against a Washington side featuring Japanese star Rui Hachimura presented a "special opportunity to embrace Japanese culture (and) fans."

"Obviously, it's really early in our journey this season in training camp and our first preseason games, but we'll try our best to have fun with it, put on a great show and enjoy the atmosphere that'll be in the arena," Curry said.
