Steph Curry’s goal of staying with the Golden State Warriors for life became much more likely last week, as the superstar signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him in the Bay Area through the 2026-27 NBA season. The question now is whether Curry will end his illustrious career with the team that drafted him 15 years ago.
“I hope so, for sure,” Curry said during an appearance on the “TODAY” show. “I’m going into my 16th year and have always said it’s a goal of mine to finish my career with the organization that has seen me grow through the ranks and accomplish amazing things with Draymond [Green]. I know Klay’s not with us anymore, but I want to keep winning.”
Golden State drafted Curry as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Since then, Curry has transformed the franchise, winning four NBA championships and earning two league MVP awards, while also cementing his place as the greatest 3-point shooter in the history of the game.
Curry’s contract extension, reportedly worth $62.6 million, reassures Warriors fans that their franchise star isn’t going anywhere just yet. This move keeps alive the possibility of him retiring in Golden State colors, a prospect that delights Dub Nation.
While Curry acknowledges that his journey with the Warriors has been marked by success, he remains hungry for more. “I want to keep winning, obviously. And I know we have hopefully some days ahead to keep doing that. So I definitely want to be there,” Curry stated.
In addition to his NBA accolades, Curry continues to thrive on the international stage. He recently added to his legendary resume by helping Team USA win gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Curry’s contribution to the Warriors and the Bay Area community goes far beyond the court. His leadership, legacy, and loyalty have made him an integral part of the organization, and his latest contract is just another step toward fulfilling his dream of remaining a Warrior for life.
For now, both Curry and the Warriors are focused on adding to their already impressive list of achievements, with the hopes of securing another title in the coming seasons.
