Time will tell, but he's been relatively healthy the last two seasons and is only 26. He'll be 29 the offseason that he becomes available.

All of the hoopla around the city has to be working in our favor.

I find it funny how in this day and age once you hit 29 or 30 you're supposedly screwed and on the downslope of your career. Gets to be kinda bothersome.

Meanwhile guys like Steve Nash and Tim Duncan were still absolute monsters less than 2 years ago and they're like 87 years old

As long as his body holds up Curry will be a very useful player well into the twilight of his career. Even in the worst case scenario where he's strictly a spot-up shooter he'll be playing that role at an elite level.

I dont know what fans did when players actually went to college for 4 years. I guess 6 years into their career they were just ready to write them off as too old. I feel the same way about Jefferson. Hes 30, and people are bitching about his age.

30 years old.. Sure there are some miles on those legs but its not like his game is predicated on athleticism.

Yeah, barring injury he"ll have a Ray Allen type of career.
