Stephen Curry Reflects on Career and Approaching Conclusion
Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry recently addressed his illustrious NBA career, acknowledging that he is nearing the twilight of his time in the league. In a candid conversation with Tim Keown of ESPN, Curry expressed his desire to continue playing for as long as possible, stating, "I want to do this for as long as I can. But the clock's ticking. We all know that." This sentiment aligns with his previous remarks made to ESPN's Malika Andrews, where he stated it is "okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near, whatever point."
Having spent his entire 16-year career with the Warriors, Curry is regarded as one of the greatest point guards in NBA history, boasting four NBA championships and two NBA MVP awards. At 36 years old, he has demonstrated remarkable longevity, currently averaging 22.5 points per game. While this figure represents his lowest average since the 2019-20 season, when he played in only five games due to injury, Curry remains a formidable presence on the court, shooting 42.0 percent from three-point range and further extending his all-time NBA record for career three-pointers.
Currently, the Warriors find themselves in third place in the Pacific Division with an 18-17 record, grappling with challenges regarding consistency and chemistry due to the integration of several new players alongside Curry and longtime teammate Draymond Green. Fans continue to appreciate Curry's contributions and will savor his performances for as long as possible. The Warriors are set to return to the court on Tuesday night to face the Miami Heat, who hold a 17-17 record.
