Throughout his illustrious career, Curry has revolutionized the game with his extraordinary shooting range and quick release, leading the Warriors to four NBA championships. His influence extends beyond the court, as he has been a prominent advocate for various charitable causes and a role model for aspiring athletes.
Warriors’ General Manager Bob Myers expressed deep gratitude for Curry’s contributions to the team. “Stephen has been the heart and soul of the Warriors for over a decade,” Myers said. “His impact on the game, the team, and the community is immeasurable. We respect his decision and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
