Golden State Warriors Beloved Point Guard Stephen Curry Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Steve Kerr Speechless with Major Announcement concerning…
Golden State Warriors superstar and four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry has sent shockwaves through the basketball world with a stunning announcement that left fans in disbelief and even head coach Steve Kerr momentarily speechless.
At a press conference held earlier this afternoon at the Chase Center, the 37-year-old point guard, widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, announced that he is considering retirement at the end of the upcoming 2025–2026 NBA season.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a while now,” Curry said, standing behind the podium with his trademark calm demeanor and warm smile. “Basketball has given me everything — joy, purpose, lifelong friendships, and a platform to inspire. But there’s a time when you start asking yourself what’s next, and I feel that time might be approaching.”
The announcement came as a surprise to many, particularly after a strong personal season for Curry, who averaged 25.8 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.9 rebounds in 2024–2025, despite the Warriors falling short in the playoffs. While speculation about his long-term future had quietly been circulating, few expected Curry to hint so directly at the possibility of hanging up his jersey in the near future.
When asked directly whether the 2025–2026 season would be his last, Curry didn’t confirm — but he didn’t deny it either.
“I’m not saying this is the end, but I’m saying I want to be honest with myself and with all of you. If this is my final run, I want to pour everything into it, leave it all on the court, and enjoy every second with my teammates, coaches, and fans.”
The revelation drew gasps in the room and reportedly left head coach Steve Kerr at a loss for words — a rare moment for the normally composed and articulate leader.
“I didn’t see that coming today,” Kerr later told reporters, visibly emotional. “Steph has been the heart and soul of this team, of this city, really. Whatever he decides, he has our full support. But yeah… I’m still processing it.”
Fans took to social media within minutes of the announcement, with “#ThankYouSteph” and “#OneLastRun” trending on X (formerly Twitter) across the country. Many expressed sadness at the prospect of Curry’s potential departure from the game, while others reflected on his unparalleled legacy.
Drafted seventh overall in 2009, Curry has revolutionized the game of basketball with his deep three-point shooting, dazzling handles, and unselfish playmaking. His partnership with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green brought the Warriors to unprecedented heights, including three championships in four years and a historic 73-win season in 2015–2016.
Curry’s impact has extended far beyond the hardwood. As the face of the Warriors dynasty, he became a global icon, inspiring a new generation of players to emulate his range and skill. Off the court, his philanthropy through the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation — which he co-founded with his wife, Ayesha — has impacted thousands of lives.
If this truly is the beginning of the end for Curry’s storied NBA career, it marks the closing chapter of one of basketball’s most beloved eras. But as always, Curry is keeping his focus on the moment — not the farewell tour.
“I’m not here to announce a goodbye,” he said. “I’m here to let people know that I’m going to give everything I’ve got, just like I always have. I owe that to the game, to my teammates, and to Dub Nation.”
Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. also commented on the news, praising Curry’s transparency and leadership.
“Whatever Steph decides, we’ll celebrate him the right way — whether it’s this year, next year, or beyond,” Dunleavy said. “But for now, we’re gearing up for one more run at a title.”
As the NBA world digests the news, one thing is clear: Whether this is Stephen Curry’s final season or just another step in his legendary career, his legacy is already etched in history — a legacy built not just on stats and rings, but on joy, humility, and the love of the game.
Warriors fans, and basketball lovers around the world, will be watching — and cherishing — every dribble, every shot, and every smile from the beloved No. 30.
