“It’s OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near,” Golden State Warriors point-guard Steph Curry claimed in an interview with Malika Andrews to the NBA ESPN X account (formerly Twitter).

“But only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it and the more you acknowledge it, the more it levels up the sense of urgency in the moment, now.”

The 36-year-old Curry, has helped the Warriors to four NBA championships along with two MVP season awards. The Akron (Ohio) native also leads the way as all-time leader in 3-point shots made with 3,841 in the NBA.

Poised to hit 1,000

Curry just needs to play a further 21 games to hit the 1,000 regular season milestone and in the interview Curry didn’t hit at when he might retire, hinting only that he thinks about retirement “more than I probably have before.”

His current deal with Golden State runs through the 2026-27 season after signing a one-year. $62.59 million contract extension last August.
