Warriors' Steph Curry Opens Up About Retirement Timeline After NBA All-Star Weekend

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is in his 17th season in the NBA, but by his estimation, the end of his legendary career isn't coming soon.

Per Lizzie Hyman of People, Curry revealed that he doesn't feel like his retirement from the NBA is on the horizon.

"It'll declare itself, whenever the time comes to call it quits, which I don't think is anytime soon," Curry said. "I'm not really putting too much pressure on that."

He continued: "Thinking about the end robs you of the now. I'm enjoying the journey of competing and all the work that goes into it. Hopefully that carries me a long way."

Curry is recovering from a knee injury that forced him to sit out Sunday's All-Star Game after earning his 12th career selection to the league's annual showcase. When healthy, the two-time NBA MVP has remained his productive self, averaging 27.2 points while shooting 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.

The 37-year-old said he takes pride in continuing to produce at a high level this deep into his career.

"It is a badge of honor to now be the oldest player doing all of these great things," Curry said. "To redefine what greatness looks like at this age.

"Every time you do something cool, it's like, 'Oh, you're the oldest to do such and such' or 'You're the oldest point guard to fill in the blank,'" he added. "So I wear all of those things like a badge of honor, because I know how much work goes into it— to play this game that I love."

For now, the Warriors (29-26) will be hopeful to get Curry back into the lineup when they return from the All-Star break on Thursday against the Boston Celtics (35-19).
