Despite 4x NBA Rings, 35YO Stephen Curry’s First Year Retirement Plans are Far Away from Basketball

Stephen Curry has had a triumphant offseason. After a disappointing finish to the 2022-23 NBA campaign, Steph won the celebrity ACC golf tournament and $125,000 prize money. Apart from that, his much-awaited documentary Underrated also saw the light of the day. Amid his successful offseason, the media kept asking him about his retirement plans. Especially after his golf glory. However, the baby-faced assassin recently opened up to the million-dollar question.

Since his success on the golf course, the 4x Champion has responded twice to the retirement question. On the first occasion, he slid past the question with a goofy response. But on the other occasion, he himself revealed the drive that could force him to the exit door. The Golden State Warriors superstar opened up on the retirement question with a serious response in a recent interview.

Stephen Curry answers the million-dollar question

Soon after Stephen Curry won the ACC tournament, cheers and praise spread across the golf course. During the press interaction, one reporter asked if he was going to quit basketball to take up golf. Taken aback by the question, Curry said, “Life is good,” in NBA. He meant the paycheck. While he kept dodging the question, in a recent interview with Today.com, he answered ‘the question’ with sincerity.

The interviewer asked Steph how he was drawing out things, considering there are only two years left in his current contract and he’s hitting the 35-year-old mark.

When asked whether he has ever thought about retirement, he said, “You do start thinking about it… But I m giving myself all those chances to be successful.” Moreover, Steph also shed light on the practicality aspect of an athlete’s life.

He added, “But you know the ball’s gonna stop bouncing at some point.” However, as a relief to his fans, he said, “It’s something not anytime soon.”

While the fans have confirmation that his retirement is not anytime soon, Curry revealed that a force could stop him sooner than later.

What could stop Steph from playing in the NBA?

While promoting his documentary, Steph featured in many interviews. During one such interview, the host asked Steph whether he gets nervous even after 15 seasons in the NBA.

The Chef replied, “I feel like that’s- if I don’t get nervous or adrenaline, that’ll be the sign that I need to quit.”

A rather powerful response from the 2-time NBA MVP. Perhaps he is referring to the desire to win that can lead to anxiety and adrenaline. It can certainly be a driving force for athletes, as confirmed by Stephen Curry.

After the hearty confirmation from the superstar himself, fans wonder how many seasons he will complete in the league. What do you think?
