Stephen Curry is 34 years old and, unfortunately for us, he is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. The Golden State Warriors point guard still has many years ahead of him to entertain fans and grow his record, but the plan for the final seasons of his career is bound to be food for thought. Curry has always said that the goal was to finish his career with the Warriors jersey and his current contract (215 million dollars for 4 years) goes in this direction.
While in Charlotte, where he grew up, to receive the keys to the city shortly after graduating from Davidson College, Stephen Curry spoke of the fact that he is often asked if he could play for the Hornets before to retire. Faced with the enthusiasm of the people present, the MVP of the 2022 Finals had to calm the enthusiasm, without completely closing the door to the eventuality.
“I always said that I wanted to finish my career at Golden State for what it means in terms of experience with my teammates and for the adventure that it has been. Everyone asks me if I could not suddenly play for the Hornets for a season and then return to the Warriors (the room applauds, editor’s note).
No, no, don’t do that (laughs). I’m not telling you the scoop or making any promises. I’m just saying if there had been a team other than the Warriors that I could have wanted to play for, it would have been Charlotte,” the Baby-Faced Assassin said in a press briefing. broadcast by WCNC.
Things move fast in the NBA and we’ve seen more unlikely scenarios than Stephen Curry playing for a team other than the Warriors. But at present, nothing seems to be able to divert him from a career with a single jersey on his shoulders, like Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki or John Stockton.
