Steph Curry Comments On How Long He Can Play In The NBA

Curry Talked To Tom Brady About Aging In Sports

As part of his answer, Curry mentions that he spoke with NFL quarterback Tom Brady about getting older in professional sports.

Brady is 45 years old and still starts at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers are having a down year this season, but Brady was one of the most proficient QBs last season.

Steph says Brady’s word of advice was “take it a year at a time…your body will tell you [when it’s time to retire].”

Brady’s historic career may be coming to a close, but Curry seems to still be playing at an elite level.

Steph’s Workouts Second To None

If the body will tell a player when it’s time to retire, Curry’s body shows no signs of letting up.

Curry’s offseason workouts are a thing of legend around the NBA.

According to NBA trainer Brandon Payne, even other NBA players are not cut out for Curry’s workout.

“We’ve had a player, who’s still in the NBA, go through the first five minutes, sat down on the floor beside the door for about 30 seconds, stood up, went outside and threw up, and was done.”

The workouts are so intense it warranted ESPN to write an entire story about them.

If Curry can maintain this level of fitness, there is no reason to think he cannot continue to perform at a high level.
