On August 25, Beijing time, recently, Warriors guard Stephen Curry was interviewed and talked about whether he wanted to play until he was 40 years old. Curry said: "It's all about focusing on the present, not fast-forwarding to that milestone and putting too much pressure on yourself." Everything I do now is for the present and the future, and focus is now part of reaching a milestone. So, even though the idea is there, I'm looking forward to the next 12 months. ”
Although Curry's response did not give a definitive answer, it also made many fans look forward to it, because Curry did not directly deny this possibility, and according to Curry's style of play, he was very hopeful of transforming into Ray Allen at the end of his career, relying on his strong three-point ability, even if he was 40 years old, as long as there was no serious injury, he was still a quite sought-after player.
Of course, as Curry said, he is only 33 years old now, it is too early to consider the 40-year-old thing, and it is the right choice to focus on the new season now. In fact, next season, as long as there are no serious injuries, Curry is very likely to win a record of no. 1 in history, that is, the player with the most three-point shots in NBA history.
As of now, Curry's career regular season three-point total hits are 2832, ranking second in history, only 141 three-pointers away from the first in history Ray Allen, last season, Curry averaged 5.3 three-pointers per game, a total of more than 333 three-pointers in a single season, so for healthy Curry, shooting 142 three-pointers in a single season to surpass Ray Allen, becoming a historical three-pointer is a breeze.
It is worth mentioning that Curry's total number of playoff three-pointers is 470, which is already the first in history, and if he wins the all-time three-point king in regular season history next season, then he will be the undisputed best scorer in history. In addition, Curry averaged 32 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game last season, which is still at the peak level and still hopes to achieve more brilliant results.
And seeing such a Curry, it is no wonder that many fans feel sorry for him, while complaining about the Warriors' lack of strength, the two years of warrior management's reinforcement operation is actually very general, resulting in the Warriors spending a lot of salary, paying a lot of luxury taxes, but the overall competitiveness of the team is quite poor, last season did not enter the playoffs, almost wasted Curry's peak.
The reason is largely that the Warriors management is wavering in the present and the future, and the Warriors general manager Miles has previously said that they will not choose to completely give up the future to ensure the present, so they will not be like some teams, gambling on the moment, using all means to strengthen to help Curry continue to impact the championship, but in fact, the Warriors need to understand that a natural Wizard like Curry is rare in a hundred years, and it is simply a tyrannical thing not to try to build a championship-winning lineup while he is still playing.
Many fans also said that they hope that the Warriors management will still wake up and strive to create the best championship team for Curry and make up for Curry's regret that he has not yet FMVP.
