Stephen Curry is without a doubt one of the greatest NBA players of all time. There's just no debating this fact. However, even the Golden State Warriors superstar himself looks up to other athletes for inspiration. Curry recently revealed that for him personally, Tom Brady is one of those guys.
According to Curry himself, he considers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback to be one of his biggest idols. Brady's longevity, in particular, is something Curry aims to emulate:
“Absolutely,” Curry told Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area this week. “I’ve actually talked to him, personally, about this. He’s at the point now where he can look back and talk about that with some authority and experience.
“But even he said, in the moment, when he was in his early-30s, mid-30s, late-30s, it was always, ‘I think I’ve still got two more years in me. Stay. Do everything I can to sustain yourself and stay physically and mentally sharp.’ And then you look up and you’re saying that again, saying it the next two years. And you’re saying it again.”
Curry is no spring chicken. He just turned 33 and at this point in his career, retirement talk has begun creeping in. Father Time is going to catch up to Steph soon enough, but until then, there's no denying that he's still one of the top players in the league today.
Stephen Curry isn't ready to think about retirement just yet, though. It is clear that he's living in the moment and is trying to do everything in his power to extend his career as much as he can. Just like the great Tom Brady. The rest of the NBA better watch out.
