we'll play something besides video games. every day is a gift especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto®- a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto® was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto®. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto® with an ace inhibitor or or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema

while taking an ace or arb medicine, don't take entresto®. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, i'm gonna step out with my favorite girl. ask your heart doctor about entresto®. and help make the gift of tomorrow possible.

because shevery year. ow that it kills 40,000 californians... of tomorrow possible. because she doesn't understand what cancer is. because she can't spell emphysema. because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. because she is my daughter, and the surgeon general says that raising tobacco taxes... is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. that's why i'm voting yes on 56. we are three hours away from tonight's season opener and steph curry is excited to say he can't wait to see how tubb

nation shows up. >> larry sbooel live at oracle arena for the big night. hi, larry. >> reporter: yeah. it's going to be a lot of fun tonight. nobody has won the regular season mvp award three times in a row since larry bird did it with the celtics, and that was 30 years ago. but steph curry has won it two years in a row. the guy who won it the year before that was kevin durant and he and steph are on the same roster with golden state. it's really hard to believe. truly amazing so the question coming into this 2016-2017 season will steph make it a threepeat. with k.d. get another mvp award or as many of the so-called experts believe that they will actually cancel each other out, but when you look at the big picture after the disappointment of how last season finished for both curry and durant the individual award really pales in comparison to the big team brooiz prize. whoever the mvp is would only show that the warriors are on the right track to winning a championship. >> that's not what i'm playing for, not what he's playing for, but we're going to give

everything we've got every night and try to, you know, lift each other up and get better and get all we can individually out of the season so we get as many wins as we can. we want to be in a position where team accomplishments outshadow any of that stuff anyway. >> reporter: joined by abc 7's mike shumann. i don't think they are worried about curry or durant and what does concern them? >> i don't think concern would be a word. curry will be more of a point guard and draymond green's offense might suffer a little and imagine bringing in andre iguodala and the mix and match he can do with david west, livingston and steve kerr has so many combinations that he can create and mismatches against other teams. i mean, it's almost like creating a frankenstein and i think steve kerr is going to have a lot of fun trying to figure it out which is what

he'll do over the course of the season. >> a really nice problem to have. >> it is such an abundance of talent, and being able to -- i don't think they are worried so much about the individual wins and losses, especially not early on. >> that's what this steam all about. they don't care who get the credit and kevin durant, he fits right in with this group. >> next hour we will talk about villains and the warriors new label. that's on abc 7 news at 5:00. let's get back to dan and ama. things are not going well in niner land as we hope optimistically for the new warriors season. 49ers fans have had enough. sunday's loss to the tampa bay buccaneers was the team's sixth straight dropping them to 1-6. the group has started a gofundme plane to fly a banner saying fire tim balke who many blame for the team's demise.
