The Golden State Warriors will never have another player like Stephen Curry. But heās changed the game and the NBA so drasticallythat youāll definitely see countless players trying to replicate what he did.
Notably, that was Steph as well back in the day. He wanted to emulate what his old man, Dell Curry, did in the league throughout his remarkable 16-year career, and itās safe to say that heās topped him already.
ButSteph recently raised some questions with his latest statement. Now that heās turned 35 years old and has been in the league for 14 years, he might start wondering when it will be time to call it a day.
Is Retirement Looming For Stephen Curry?
āItās always been a goal to try to match my Pop ā when I came into the league, 16 years is always the goal just cause thatās what my dad played,ā Curry said. āTo know, 35 still trying to play at this high of a level. This might be the last birthday I stop counting for a while.ā
āJust definitely blessed, thank God for the ability to be healthy to play with great teammates, playing in front of an amazing fanbase for 14 years. Definitely, a lot more to come,āthe point guard added.
Itās Not The First Time That Curry Talks About This
This isnāt the first time that Curry has talked about this. Being an NBA veteran, he had already reached out to multiple people to ask him when did they know the time to walk away from the game had already come:
āWhen I got to the league, all I wanted to do was get to 16 years, because thatās what my dad [Dell] played,ā Curry told Marc Stein. āAnd now Iām halfway through 14. Iāve talked to a bunch of people whoāve been in similar situations and you start to have different conversations like, āAt what point did you know it was time to leave?ā or whatever the case is and then figuring out what that might mean for you.ā
Of course, Curry has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down whatsoever, so thereās no reason to believe heās ready to retire any time soon. But heās not getting any younger, and neither are we.
