At some point, most NBA stars have to start slowing down and all great NBA careers have to come to end, but for Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, he doesn't see that happening anytime soon and thinks he can continue to play at a high level for six or seven more years.
Early in Curry's career ankle injuries looked like they would derail his career but he has overcome them to become one of the best point guards of all time. Curry thinks a big reason why he can continue for so much longer is that he has created his game using his shiftiness and change of speed and that is something he thinks he can contain.
“I was never the most explosive athletic, high-speed guard,” Stephen Curry says via Bleacher Report. “I had a lot of shiftiness and change-of-speed and all that stuff. That's something I can keep for a very long time as well. In terms of just having the ball in my hands and making plays and being a threat and what not, some six years from now, if I really have to evolve my game into something else, then I'd be able to figure it out. At this rate I'm going, I can keep this up for the foreseeable future, for sure.
“Six, seven more years of playing the way that I'm playing now—I think that is the criteria for me in terms of playing at the level that I want to be at.”
The next big question surrounding Curry and the Warriors is can they keep the band together that long or will it be split up before he retires? There has already been talk that Kevin Durant could leave at the end of this season but as long as the Warriors have Curry on the team, they have a chance to win championships.
