Steph Curry Reflects on the Inevitable End of His NBA Career
As the NBA season continues to unfold, one of its greatest stars, Stephen Curry, has started contemplating the inevitable end of his legendary career. At 36 years old, Curry, who has spent 16 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, is no stranger to the idea that his time on the court is limited. In a recent conversation with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Curry acknowledged that retirement has become a recurring thought. "More than I probably have before," he confessed when asked how much longer he intends to play. The reality of his career winding down seems to be sinking in, but for Curry, that doesn’t diminish the joy he finds in each game.
"I think it's OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near," Curry said. "But only because it allows you to enjoy what's happening right now." This perspective has brought a renewed sense of urgency for Curry, emphasizing the importance of savoring every moment while still in the game. His reflection comes at a time when both he and the NBA community are well aware of the fleeting nature of his prime. After all, Curry’s legendary career includes four championships, an NBA Finals MVP, and a 2022 Olympic gold medal with Team USA — accolades that already solidify his place in the history books.

Despite all he has achieved, Curry isn't done yet. He’s made it clear that he still has a burning desire to add to his legacy. Even though the Warriors have faced challenges this season, sitting at a 15-13 record as of late December, Curry remains focused on making the most of what’s left. The goal of another championship is very much on his mind, especially with his current contract extending through 2027. His commitment to staying competitive with the Warriors has never wavered, as he expressed in October when signing a one-year extension worth $62.6 million.
While Curry’s physical performance hasn’t always been flawless this season — with recent struggles like a 2-of-13 shooting night against the Pacers — he continues to show flashes of brilliance. His 31-point performance against the Timberwolves proves that when he’s on, he’s still one of the most electrifying players in the league. But with his career winding down, it’s clear that Curry, like LeBron James, is approaching the end of an era. The pair’s Christmas Day showdown, which sees the Warriors face off against LeBron’s Lakers, may be one of their final opportunities to square off on the court, adding a sense of nostalgia to the matchup.
Though time is ticking, Curry is embracing the challenge and is determined to give it his all, knowing that every game could bring him closer to his final moments as an NBA player. Whether that end comes sooner or later, one thing is certain: Curry will continue to push for greatness until the very last buzzer.
