Steph Curry’s quote about the end of his career sounds incredibly morbid

It feels bizarre to say, but Stephen Curry is playing in his 16th year in the NBA.

It certainly doesn’t feel like that much time has passed. His peak with the Warriors only started about a decade ago, and he spent most of his early years in the NBA battling ankle injuries.

So while it may not feel like it, it’s been a while. And it looked like that a few nights ago when Curry only scored 2 points against the Grizzlies in a game The Warriors lost by over 50 points.

That said, questions about when he can call it a career are valid. He is still one of the best players in the NBA, but we are much closer to the end than the beginning.

ESPN’s Malika Andrews asked Curry about it, and the quote was kind of hilariously morbid.

“It’s OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near at any point, but only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now,” Curry said. “But I think the more you talk about it, the more you acknowledge it, it adds to the sense of urgency right now.”

Well, yes, that’s one way to put it! It sounds a bit sad, but he is not wrong. Acknowledging that he likely won’t be around the NBA for much longer is the best way to go about it.

Not only for him, but also for us. We don’t have many more moments of greats like Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant left. That’s why this summer’s Olympic Games were so special.

We need to cherish these moments while we still have them. Good to know Curry is too.
