Dell Curry: Steph 'not even close' to retirement

Stephen Curry's father, Dell Curry, says the Golden State Warriors star still has plenty of basketball left in him.

"He still loves the game," Dell told RG.org's DJ Siddiqi of his son. "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."

The 37-year-old Steph is coming off his 16th NBA season and is under contract with the Warriors through the 2026-27 campaign. Dell believes the younger Curry could continue playing at a high level well into his 40s.

"Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he's going to require attention," Dell said. "Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he's creating space for other guys around him. If you can shoot the basketball, there's a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you're Steph Curry, I think you're going to be able to play until you say, 'I'm done.'"

Steph put up strong numbers yet again this season, averaging 24.5 points, six assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game while earning his 11th All-Star selection.
