Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry remains arguably one of the top players in the world. The four-time NBA champion is coming off yet another stellar season, where he led his team to the second round of the playoffs after securing the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
Curry has defied the odds in his career. Many didn’t think he would be this good; in fact, many didn’t even think he would be a player in the league for a long time. However, he has jumped through every single hurdle in his career, and now he is arguably the greatest point guard of all time and arguably one of the top 15 players of all time.
While Curry is still at the top of his game, he is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. The 37-year-old will soon enter his 17th season in the league; however, he is not close to being done, at least according to his father, Dell Curry.
Curry spoke to DJ Siddiqi of RG Media and said his son still has a ton left in the tank.

“He still loves the game,” Dell Curry, via RG.org. “He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”
If there was an indication that Curry is at the top of his game, we saw it this past season. In 70 games this season, the two-time MVP averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from beyond the arc and 93.3 percent from the free-throw line.
The 11-time All-Star has been one of the best players in the league for over a decade, and even as he nears the end of his career, that still remains the case. Curry is a threat from all over the court and remains a terrifying player, due to his ability to hurt opponents from anywhere on the court.
The former Davidson Wildcat suffered a hamstring strain in the first game of the second round of the playoffs. That hamstring strain kept him out of the playoffs and eventually led to the downfall of the Warriors, who were eliminated in five games by the Minnesota Timberwolves in a gentlemanly sweep.
Curry still has some years left under his belt, and they will all likely be with the Warriors.
