Not only is Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry one of the greatest players of the past decade, but he’s also solidified his place among the greatest basketball players of all time. His historic legacy is already etched in NBA history.

It feels like just yesterday that Curry was making a name for himself at Davidson, leading them on a memorable NCAA Tournament run in 2008. Fast forward to 2024, and Curry is now in his 16th season with the Warriors.

While he remains one of the best players in the league, he recently shared his thoughts on how much longer he envisions himself playing during an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews.

“More than I probably have before,” Curry said. “It’s okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near at some point, but only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But the more you talk about it, the more you acknowledge it, the more it levels up the sense of urgency.”

Stephen Curry has already cemented his place in basketball history with a Hall of Fame-worthy career. While his championship window with the Golden State Warriors may seem uncertain given the current state of the team, Curry’s accomplishments are undeniable.

He is a four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, a member of the 75th Anniversary Team, an Olympic gold medalist, and widely regarded as the greatest three-point shooter of all time. Curry currently holds the record for most career three-pointers made and continues to extend that lead every time the Warriors take the court.

Regardless of when Curry decides to retire, he will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever play the game of basketball. His impact extends far beyond the court, making him a transformative figure in the sport.
