As His Warriors Seek A Repeat, Stephen Curry Announces New Web Series On His YouTube Channel

As the Golden State Warriors have embarked on their journey through the 2018 NBA Playoffs, their star guard Stephen Curry has sat on the sideline, nursing a knee injury. While he sits out, however, the Warriors’ sharpshooter is keeping busy on YouTube. On May 1, he will launch 5 Minutes From Home, a new series produced by Unanimous Media and Portal A, on his YouTube channel.

Each episode of 5 Minutes From Home will take place during Curry’s journey from Oracle Arena, where the Warriors play, to his home. As he embarks on his regular route, he’ll be joined by numerous special guests, ranging from YouTube stars like Rudy Mancuso to Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf. Along the way, Curry and his passengers will stop for a bite to eat. It all sounds similar to Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, except that Curry is slightly better at basketball than Jerry Seinfeld.

“Through my YouTube channel, I can continue to connect with people around the world and reach them in an authentic, consistent and unfiltered way,” Curry said in a press release. “I’m excited to share my life, passions, and personality with my fans.”

Though the 5 Minutes From Home trailer is the first upload on Curry’s YouTube channel in more than four years, the NBA star has several connections to the online video world. His wife Ayesha occasionally shows off her favorite recipes on her channel, and he recently appeared along Mancuso in a workout-focused video that was also produced by Portal A. He’s also not the online Warrior with a YouTube channel: His teammate Kevin Durant launched his own hub last year, and the Warriors won the championship two months later. Perhaps online video initiatives are good luck charms for the Dubs.
