NBA legend Scottie Pippen is a big fan of Stephen Curry. The six-time NBA champion has no doubt that the Golden State Warriors superstar is the greatest shooter to have ever picked up a basketball. According to Pip, Curry still has a long way to go before he ends up calling it a career.
Speaking about Curry's longevity, Pippen could not help but compare the former back-to-back league MVP to none other than LeBron James. So much so, that the Chicago Bulls icon came to a conclusion that Steph is a mini version of LeBron:
“I don't know how long he can go,” Pippen said of Steph's longevity, via SiriusXM NBA Radio. “I mean, I look at LeBron and I don't know how long he gonna go. … [Steph’s] a mini-LeBron to some degree. From a physicality standpoint, he’s strong for his size. This guy can give us at least another six years easily. He's a shooter and he's the greatest shooter we've ever seen. So, he could probably play the game into his 50s if he wanted to.”
“[Steph’s] a mini-LeBron…he’s strong for his size…he could probably play the game into his 50s if he wanted to”

Don't let Curry's diminutive size fool you. The guy is very strong and he has an elite motor. The Warriors star has been putting in the work year after year and he has been reaping the benefits of the same. Stephen Curry has put a lot of value on his own body and he knows how important his physical conditioning is in terms of maximizing his career — just like Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
