“He wants to win another title” – Steph Curry’s dad Dell Curry shuts down son’s retirement buzz after Warriors star hints broadcasting future post NBA

Dell Curry revealed that his son, Steph Curry, intends to win another championship, shutting down rumors about the Golden State Warriors star’s retirement.

In an interview with RG’s DJ Siddiqi on Monday, Curry said that his 37-year-old son is far from retirement.

“He still loves the game,” Curry said. “He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”

Dell added that he believes Steph could still make an impact even with his age due to his play style.

"Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he’s going to require attention," Curry added. "Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he’s creating space for other guys around him.

"If you can shoot the basketball, there’s a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you’re Steph Curry, I think you’re going to be able to play until you say, 'I’m done.'"

Steph Curry was the 12th oldest active player last season. He played in 70 games and averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds on 44.8% shooting, including 39.7% from 3-point range. He also put up the second-highest free-throw clip of his career (93.3%).

Curry, alongside midseason acquisition Jimmy Butler, led Golden State's second-half resurgence. However, Curry's injury forced him to miss the Warriors' last four playoff games, resulting in a second-round playoff exit at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dell Curry praises his son Steph Curry's longevity

Dell Curry played in the NBA for 16 years, from 1986 until 2002. His son, Steph Curry, is set to appear in his 17th NBA season in 2025-26. In the same interview with RG's DJ Siddiqi on Monday, Curry praised his son's longevity.

"I continue to be impressed with the way Steph is playing at a high level. All-Star level at this stage is great," Curry said.

Curry said that his son's All-Star level play is fueled by the two-time MVP's dedication, discipline and work ethic.

“Those are things that make him the player that he is, because of his dedication and discipline in the offseason to want to get better and not cheat the game," Curry said. "That’s the player that he can always be. He wants to continue to be that player. It’s amazing that he’s 37 and he’s still playing at this level."

In 2024-25, Curry was named an All-Star for the 11th time in his career. The four-time NBA champion was also named to the All-NBA second team — his 11th career All-NBA selection.
