Basketball fans probably dread the day they’d have to bid goodbye to Stephen Curry, one of the most beloved players in history. 

While Curry is still playing at an elite level, the 36-year-old has admitted he’s nearing the end of his storied career. 

In a recent interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Curry was asked if he had given any thought to his retirement from the sport.  

“More than I probably have before,” Curry responded. “It’s OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near, at whatever point. But only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it and acknowledge it, it levels up the sense of urgency in the moment now.”
