NBA legend Steph Curry has revealed he sought the advice of NFL icons Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers on how they extended their careers after reaching another milestone – after revealing he is two years away from his original goal.
The NBA’s greatest shooter turned 35 on Tuesday and matched is two seasons away from his father’s, Dell, tally of 16 seasons in the league.
Curry still appears to be at the peak of his powers and returned from an injury lay off to put up 36 and 23 points in victories against the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns.
Monday night’s win against the Suns saw Curry register an efficient 7-13 while shooting a trademark 4-6 from three-point range.
Like his fellow older statesmen LeBron James, 38, and Chris Paul, 37, the two-time league MVP is playing like a man several years his junior and, in an interview with Andscape,
he admitted to feeling better than he thought he would at the age – dispelling any nascent fears of retirement.
“How I feel right now is not how I thought I’d feel at 35,” Curry told the outlet after the victory over the Bucks. “That number sounds crazy, but in my head, I feel like I got a lot left. The work I put into this I still enjoy. Who knows how [the future] looks?
“I talked to Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and other guys who have been on the other side of the halfway point. I know quarterbacking is different, but you can check yourself [mentally] into not fast-forwarding too far.
