Stephen Curry is showing no signs of slowing down, according to his father, Dell Curry. The elder Curry believes the 37-year-old Golden State Warriors star is far from considering retirement.
In a recent interview with DJ Siddiqi of Responsible Gaming, Dell stated, “He still loves the game. He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet.”
Stephen Curry completed the 2024–25 NBA season averaging 24.5 points and 6.0 assists per game. He played in 70 regular-season contests while shooting nearly 40% from beyond the arc.
The two-time MVP added another playoff run to his résumé, averaging 22.6 points over eight postseason games. Despite suffering a hamstring injury in the second round, Curry led Golden State past Houston in seven games before falling to Minnesota.
“He’s going to require attention,” said Dell Curry. “Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him.” He believes that Stephen’s shooting ability alone will keep him valuable in any NBA rotation.
Dell, who played 16 seasons in the league himself, emphasized that his son’s longevity will depend more on his offseason preparation than in-game performance. “Can he go through the rigors of preparing himself to play in an NBA season? That’s the question,” he added.
Stephen recently signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension through the 2026–27 season. That deal made him the first player in NBA history to earn $60 million in a single season.
Throughout the year, Curry continued to rewrite the record books. He became the first player to hit 4,000 career three-pointers and reached 25,000 points in March. He also passed legends like Jerry West and Tony Parker on the all-time scoring lists.
Curry was named a Western Conference All-Star starter for the 11th time and earned his second All-Star Game MVP award in February.
In his 16th season, Curry remained one of the league’s most feared offensive threats, with multiple 50-point performances, including a 56-point outing in Orlando and a 52-point night in Memphis.
“He’ll play until he says, ‘I’m done,’” Dell said. “And when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”
