Steph Curry Gives Honest Reaction to his Birthday
Even though Steph Curry is 35 year old, he doesn't look like he's slowed down one bit as an NBA player. Curry turned 35 yesterday on March 14 and he gave a very honest reaction.
Steph Curry appeared on the NBC Sports Bay Area “Dubs Talk” podcast where he touched upon playing in the NBA at 35 years old.
"I never thought I'd feel this good at this age, knowing how many games we played, how many playoff runs we've had, championships we've chased and all of that," Curry said. "So I don't think I'm psyching myself out to think that, maybe not the best is yet to come, but extending the prime longer than I probably thought when I was coming into it."
Looking at Steph Curry's numbers, no one would even be able to tell that he's 35 years old now. Currently, Steph Curry is averaging 29.6 points, 6.3 assists, and 6.3 rebounds per game. This season, Curry is averaging the third most points he's averaged in his entire career. Granted, we live in an inflation era of the NBA, but that's still an astonishing number at 35 years old.
"I feel like it's a great time to kind of reflect on a lot of different things, obviously, be appreciative and show some gratitude for all the things I've done in my life, people I've been able to experience it with, the fact that I still feel really good, physically and mentally, 14 years in and turning 35, hitting the official mid-30s," Curry said.
The same way NBA fans like to appreciate LeBron James' greatness at his age, is the same way they should treat Steph Curry's greatness. What Steph Curry is doing is once in a lifetime, and it may never happen again.
