The Warriors’ Stephen Curry refuses to be a ‘grumpy old head’ to young stars

In a recent interview, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry said he’s not ready to retire, but discussed life after basketball. Curry addressed the trade speculation surrounding the Warriors after Wednesday’s 116-115 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, in an interview with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, Curry took a look at his post-NBA future.

Curry he says he doesn’t want to be one of those retirees who come down hard on the league’s youngsters, according to X on NBA.com, formerly Twitter.

“We’re not going to be bitter old heads who come back hating the younger generation, but we’re definitely going to appreciate and admire what they’re able to do.”

Curry is looking forward to embracing the new generation of NBA players. While speculation about his team potentially making major roster changes continues, Curry and the Warriors have done everything they can to change that narrative. They want to keep their current roster intact, and after Wednesday’s win against the Timberwolves, Steph echoed that sentiment.

Reporter asked Curry if the trade talks surrounding the Warriors added extra motivation ahead of Wednesday’s win, according to Anthony Slater of the Athletics.

“Not at all.” It is always motivating and challenging to compete and try to win. He does my job,” Curry said. “When you’re in a situation like our organization where everything is rightfully compared to championship expectations, everything is going to be microanalyzed.

Curry believes the Warriors still have plenty of time to salvage their season.

“Obviously, what I’m talking about, Draymond was talking, Steve was talking. “You’re forgetting the part where we’re always trying to get better,” Curry added. “What does that really mean?” It’s obviously not our job to worry about that on a daily basis. But our job is to win as many games as possible and luckily we won one tonight.”

The Warriors improved to 20-20 as they approach the halfway point of the 2024-25 campaign.
