Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has become one of the best NBA players of all-time. His shooting ability completely changed the game of basketball.
While three-point shooting had become a trend before he entered the league, Curry shook up everything. His elite ability to shoot the ball made young players want to play like him. Truthfully, Curry is one of the few players who has completely changed the course of the sport.
Curry is still playing at an elite level even at 37 years old. Entering the 2025-26 NBA season, there have been questions about how much longer he will play.
To this point, Curry has shown no interest in retiring. That day may not be too far away, but for now he’s focused on winning another championship for the Warriors.

Before all of the superstardom in the NBA, Curry had another dream.
During a recent episode of her podcast, “Call Me Daddy,” Ayesha Curry spoke out about his former career goal. Curry wanted to coach high school basketball.
“I didn’t know that he was going to end up playing basketball. He said he wanted to be a high school basketball coach,” Ayesha said.
Ayesha also shared that she didn’t realize how good Curry was as a high school basketball player himself.
“Apparently, he was, but I genuinely didn’t pay attention to that,” she said. “I grew up in such an art-driven family that sports outside of Doug Flutie, playing for the Buffalo Bills, it just wasn’t a thing in my house.”
Perhaps Curry could revisit the idea of coaching basketball in the future. He will have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to his career after the NBA.

He has played in 1,026 games and made 1,020 starts, averaging 24.7 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game. Curry has also shot 47.1 percent from the floor and 42.3 percent from three-point range.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Curry after his playing career comes to an end. There is no question that he would be an excellent basketball coach at any level.
