Stephen Curry’s journey in the NBA has been anything but easy. Having been drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the 2009 NBA Draft, most expected Curry to be a solid starter in the league. But that was the extent to it.
No one thought that Curry would one day change the NBA with his 3-point shooting ability. On top of that, he has now won four NBA Championships in his career, along with numerous other accolades.
Although Curry is now 34 years old, he has taken good care of his body; he can still manage to win a couple of more rings with the Warriors before saying goodbye to the NBA.
There are many other players in this generation who might have a better resume or individual stats than Steph. But what they do not have is an absolutely perfect career in the NBA.
An NBA fan praised Curry for never demanding a trade from the Warriors or asking the franchise to trade away players. This certainly came in the light of Curry’s former teammate Kevin Durant demanding a trade from the Brooklyn Nets after spending just three seasons with the team.

In the modern-day NBA, no superstar in the league is shy of requesting a trade from their franchise if they feel they aren’t in a position to win. While Curry has never team-hopped or requested a trade from the Warriors, the truth is he was never required to do so.
That’s not a shot at Curry’s loyalty to the Warriors. But the fact that the Warriors have done their very best at always making sure that he is surrounded by great players is one of the reasons Steph has never felt the need to leave the Dubs.
Regardless of that, it doesn’t take anything away from what Curry has achieved in the NBA. He is one of the best players to ever play in the NBA, and by the time he retires, he might have an even better resume than what he has as of now.
