LeBron James' influence in the NBA has caught Curry, what Steph wants for his future

The NBA career LeBron James has had in his first twenty years in the league has been formidable and the dream of any Basketball player, as he has not only become one of the greatest players of all-time breaking all kinds of records, but with 38 years old, he isn't looking to stop any time soon.

Not many basketball players have been able to last that long in the NBA, and probably only LeBron James has done it on the highest of levels, staying as a top ten best player in the league.

James' durability is out of this world, and because of that, other Basketball stars want to emulate the King, this is the case of the Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, one of the greatest point guards of all time and the best 3-point shooter of sports history.

“It’s somewhere in that range, but I never imagined myself being the forty-plus dude trying to hold on for dear life,” Curry said when asked if his projected career length will be on par with James’. “But who knows what my body will look like or feel like at that point? I got three years left on my deal, including at least that, and then kind of figure it out from there."

Stephen Curry plans for his future in the NBA

“I am blessed to know and hope that no matter how many years I do play, playing for one franchise and being a part of that group of the legends that have accomplished that feat and won at the highest level and all that. I don’t ever take that for granted either. You got the Kobe [Bryant]’s, the Magic [Johnson]’s, Dirk [Nowitzki], and Tim Duncan, those guys helped establish a culture, won, and did it with a lot of different roster combinations and different parts in their careers. I don’t put too much of a timeline outside of my contract now just knowing that will give me 38 and 17 years in the league. I ain’t skipping out to go play golf just yet.” Said Curry.
