Stephen Curry acknowledges he is nearing the end of his career and while he is accepting of the inevitable end, it is also creating urgency for the years he has left.
“More than I probably have before,” he said during a Tuesday interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews while discussing how much he thinks about how much longer he will play. “I think, you know, it’s okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near, whatever point. But only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it, the more you acknowledge it, it levels up just the sense of urgency of the moment now.
“It is a matter of acknowledging like, okay, me and Draymond [Green] are in our prime. We’re, you know, a situation where you have to kind of think about the game a little differently. But if you’re not winning the answer is, like, ‘How do we make this happen for me?’ I only have a certain amount of years left and I want to win desperately. And what helps me, helps us. So, yeah, it’s a funny term, because it’s people saying, and what is the actual answer? We’re trying to figure it out.”
