Steph Curry's Change in Physical Appearance Draws Attention

Steph Curry is entering his 17th season in the NBA, and sure enough, a lot of things have changed for him personally since he arrived in the league with the Golden State Warriors.

Curry, who was drafted seventh overall by the Warriors in the 2009 draft, arrived in the NBA as a 21-year-old out of Davidson. Now, over 16 years since then, the star sharpshooter has become a four-time champion, two-time MVP and 11-time All-Star.

The 37-year-old has also established himself as the greatest shooter the league has ever seen, as supported by his all-time mark of 4,058 triples made.

On Saturday, Curry drew the attention of fans for a different reason: his change in appearance over the years.

The Warriors posted several photos showing the headshots of their players from their first year to the current season. Naturally, Curry's looks throughout his NBA career so far became a major talking point.

While his "baby face" has stayed — albeit his features have become more mature — his changes in hairstyle and facial hair were noticeable.

"They call him Babyface assassin," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "steph should grow his hair out again like '19, '22, '23."

"Look at Curry, man. So inspirational," a fan added.

Others took notice of Curry's hairstyle in 2020, when he rocked cornrows.

"2020 curry was [fire]," a poster stated. A fifth follower remarked, "Moody locked in !! Oh and 2020 curry wild."

"2020 curry," a social media user simply noted.

It remains to be seen if Curry will rock a different hairstyle or look this 2025-26 season, but sure enough, fans will be keeping an eye on any personal change he makes.

For what it's worth, Curry's face is not the only thing that has changed. Recently, his improved physique also turned heads.
