Despite that, there has been a bit of retirement talk surrounding the future Hall of Famer. Golden State is in fifth place in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"1\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_1\">Curry previously said that after reaching 35, he sought advice from Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers on how to play beyond 35. While he indicated in an interview with Andscape, &#8220;who knows&#8221; about playing at 40 years old, retirement rumors have followed the future Hall of Famer this season.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"2\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_2\">During an interview with Bloomberg&#8217;s The Circuit of Emily Chang, released this week, Curry spoke about his career, and the idea of retirement.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere are two ways to really go out in basketball: either you\u2019re forced out or you go out on your own terms,&#8221; Curry said. &#8220;I hope to be in a situation where you consider how your body feels, what it takes to get ready for games, and the offseason training that goes into preparing yourself for an 82-game season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There will be a clear sign that it\u2019s time to hang it up. I don\u2019t want to be the one that\u2019s limping up and down the court trying to keep up with the young bucks, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m anywhere close to that yet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>&#8220;I think about it all the time&#8221; &#8211; Steph Curry spoke candidly about retirement earlier this year<\/h2>\n<p data-idx=\"4\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_4\">While Steph Curry isn&#8217;t ready to ride off into the sunset just yet, the four-time\u00a0NBA\u00a0champ has spoken pretty openly about retirement. Earlier this year, during an interview with ClutchPoints, Curry said he thinks about retirement all the time.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"5\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_5\">Despite that, he doesn&#8217;t dwell on the topic for long given that he&#8217;s almost always preparing for a game.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think about it all the time, but the thoughts stop because you gotta get ready for the next game, and there\u2019s a routine and a cycle that goes where you embrace the now,&#8221; Curry said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Eventually, it\u2019ll get to a point where you\u2019ll wake up, and whatever your body is telling and your mind is telling you it\u2019s time, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019m anywhere close to that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-idx=\"6\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_6\">With the NBA schedule in full swing, only time will tell what the future holds for the famed point guard. After signing a one-year extension this summer, following the 2024-25 season, Curry will have two years left before free agency. By that time, he will be closing in on 40 years of age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steph Curry\u00a0had back-to-back showstopping performances in the 2024 Paris Olympics to help Team USA win gold.
