Stephen Curry has done his fair share of winning throughout his NBA career. Curry, navigating season No. 16, at 37 years old, has shown little signs of slowing down. The Golden State Warriors find themselves in the playoffs for the tenth time in Curry’s illustrious career, and they look poised to make another deep run in the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
Sunday night, the Warriors beat the Houston Rockets in Game 7, 103-89, advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals. The series win over the Rockets is the fifth of Curry’s career, as he is now 5-0 against the Rockets in the playoffs since being drafted by the Warriors in 2009.
Curry was asked during his postgame press conference what he believes his reputation is in Houston after winning his fifth consecutive series over the Rockets. Curry sent a clear, three-word message to Rockets fans.
“I’m a winner.”

“I’m a winner,” Curry said emphatically.
Curry is hard to argue with. In his 10 playoff appearances, he’s only failed to advance past the first round once in his career (2013-14).
Curry is a four-time NBA champion, NBA Finals MVP (2022), and has won an Olympic Gold Medal (2024). Sunday night’s victory was playoff win No. 103 in Curry’s career, ranking in the top-30 all-time in NBA history.
While he carries many individual accolades, Curry has always brought a team-first mentality to his team’s games on and off the court. With Warriors shooting guard, Buddy Hield having the hot hand on Sunday, Curry took a backseat, playing the role of facilitator.
Hield finished with a game-high 33 points while Curry finished with a game-high seven assists.
