As Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry prepares for the rest of the season, the basketball world is always wondering when he will retire. As rumors swirl about the Warriors and Curry's retirement, Starr has debunked some of those conversations.
In an interview with People magazine, Curry will be asked about retirement, in which the point guard is part of the film and entertainment world, having recently produced a few features. However, Curry would say that his retirement is not happening "anytime in the near future."
“Whenever the time comes to close it down, it will announce itself, which I don't think will be anytime soon,” Curry said, as he is in his 17th season with Golden State. "I'm not really putting too much pressure on him."
At 37 years old, Curry is still showing how elite he is as he is averaging 27.2 points. 4.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.
“Thinking about the end robs you of the present,” explains Curry. "I'm enjoying the journey of competing and all the work that goes into it. Hopefully it will take me far."
Warriors' Stephen Curry talks more about his career
While Curry will represent the Warriors with the three-point contest at next season's All-Star weekend, he doesn't seem ready to call it quits any time soon. In fact, Curry is constantly making history and reaching milestones, even playing a key role in leading Team USA to a gold medal in 2024.
"It's an honor to be the oldest player to do all these great things," Curry said. "To redefine what greatness looks like in this age."
Curry added, "So I wear all those things like badges of honor, because I know how much work it takes to play the game that I love."
At any rate, Curry is looking to help Golden State currently as the team is 29-26, leaving them in eighth place in the Western Conference as the first game coming off the All-Star break is on Thursday against the Boston Celtics.
