Stephen Curry targeting a similar career length as LeBron James
With Steph Curry set to kick off his 15th NBA season, it’s fair to wonder how long the Warriors superstar plans to play in the league. On his recent appearance on the “Gils Arena” podcast, Curry was asked about what his ideal timeline was and if his projected career length would be on par with LeBron James, who is about to enter his 21st season in the NBA. “It’s somewhere in that range, but I never imagined myself being the forty-plus dude trying to hold on for dear life”, said Curry. “But who knows what my body will look like or feel like at that point? I got three years left on my deal, including at least that, and then kind of figure it out from there.”

Standing under the rim and asking for the ball while LeBron James is about to break the all-time scoring record is the funniest of them all. “I was just running the play,” said Bryant. “That’s the crazy thing about it people don’t understand it that was the play to run. I saw all the cameras come out and I was like, ‘Why are all the cameras out?’ As soon as he made the shot I was like ‘Oh Yeah!’”. -via WROC TV Channel 8 / August 25, 2023
Stephen Curry: “I am blessed to know and hope that no matter how many years I do play, playing for one franchise and being a part of that group of the legends that have accomplished that feat and won at the highest level and all that. I don’t ever take that for granted either. You got the Kobe [Bryant]’s, the Magic [Johnson]’s, Dirk [Nowitzki], Tim Duncan, those guys helped establish a culture, won, did it with a lot of different roster combinations and different parts in their career.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / August 29, 2023

“He averaged 11 assists for his career. For his career! He is the top. Nobody has done that, okay?” Johnson said. “Finals 9 out of 12 season and two of those seasons he was injured, okay? “The injuries he physically had and then HIV. This man is a born winner. Steps on the floor as a rookie – 42 [points] and 15 [assists] in a closeout game with Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] at home against Dr. J [Julius Erving].” Throughout the discussion, Eddie Johnson praised Magic not only for his unparalleled skill set but also for his humility and humility in the face of ongoing debates. “What Magic has done to this league and how he changed his league with him and [Larry] Bird coming in, give that man his due,” he continued. “Magic is humble though. He doesn’t get caught up in all of this. “He ticked me off one time though when he said that Kobe [Bryant] is the greatest Laker. And I’m like man, look. Some people can go that way however they want to. You’re the greatest, man. You freaking changed this game! But he’s humbled himself in these discussions which blows me away.” -via TalkBasket / August 27, 2023
