Stephen Curry, star of the Golden State Warriors, has sent a clear message to the rest of the NBA: the Warriors still have what it takes to compete for the championship.
Despite recent disappointing seasons, Stephen Curry remains confident in his team’s potential and is determined to extend the Warriors’ championship window. In an interview with Natasha Dye of People magazine, Curry expressed his deep commitment to keeping the Warriors in the championship conversation for as long as possible.
“You can’t play this game forever, but the fact that I’ve been with the Warriors for this long and that we’ve had this championship window, you want to keep it open for as long as possible,” Curry said, reflecting on his tenure with the team and the desire to remain contenders.
Curry didn’t stop there. He took the opportunity to send a strong message to his rivals across the league. “I love the fact that people don’t think we can keep pace with some of the other teams that they’re picking in the West,” Curry remarked. “And I just love that challenge of stepping into training camp and being able to create your success — that gets me going.”

Curry’s commitment to winning with the Warriors
The Warriors have indeed faced significant challenges in recent seasons. Injuries, roster changes, and underwhelming performances have led to struggles, with the team even missing the playoffs in 2024. It feels like a stark contrast to just three years ago when Curry and the Warriors were crowned NBA champions, seemingly poised for another era of dominance.
However, that window seemed to abruptly close, and the team’s championship aspirations became a question mark. Despite these setbacks, Curry remains unshaken and is eager to face the challenge head-on. For him, the opportunity to prove doubters wrong drives his competitive spirit.
The veteran star’s confidence and leadership will be key if the Warriors hope to reclaim their spot atop the league. While other teams in the Western Conference are considered favorites, Curry’s message is clear: the Warriors are not done yet, and he is determined to keep their championship hopes alive.
