Outside of LeBron James, there hasn’t been an NBA player more impactful to the game—or to future generations—than Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry.

However, all good things eventually come to an end. As the current era of basketball, headlined by the likes of James, Curry, and Kevin Durant, slowly winds down, questions about retirement naturally begin to surface.

That said, all three are still set to be premier players for their respective teams this upcoming season. For Curry in particular, it sounds like he still has plenty left in the tank.

In a recent interview with Complex, Curry made it clear he has no plans to hang it up anytime soon.

When asked if fans could expect a few more years from him, Curry responded confidently: “For sure. 100%.”

Steph Curry: "No way close to [retiring]."

"So we got some more years from you?"

Fans reacted to the interview:

"He could play until he’s 50 with his shooting ability alone. Steph is truly underappreciated," a fan said.

Someone else added, "We WILL be watching more of you."

Another person wrote, "GOAT is here to stayyy."

"I mean his game and ability allows him to play until 40-42 easy!" One more fan commented.

Stephen Curry is 37 years old and won’t turn 38 until midway through next season in March. He remains one of the league’s most prominent players and has long since cemented his legacy as both the greatest shooter in NBA history and one of the game’s all-time greats.

This past season, Curry helped lead the Warriors back to the postseason. After defeating the Houston Rockets in the first round, he suffered an injury that sidelined him for most of Golden State’s second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves—a blow that ultimately contributed to the team’s elimination.

Curry’s resume speaks for itself: four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, NBA Finals MVP, 11-time All-Star, two-time scoring champion, and the first player in league history to surpass 4,000 made three-pointers. He has also crossed the 25,000-point mark for his career—an achievement that further solidifies his place in basketball history.
