Stephen Curry joked about getting older on Ayesha Curry’s Instagram story where his family was celebrating his 36th birthday.
Stephen Curry turned 36 years old on March 16 and celebrated with his family. Ayesha Curry shared a video of Steph being celebrated by his family in the morning as Ayesha asked him his thoughts on turning 36. The Warriors’ point guard did a hilarious impression of a senile old man.
“I’m just trying to eat my tomatoes!”
It’s incredible to think that even Curry has now turned 36 years old given his nickname used to the ‘Babyface Assassin’. He’s aged gracefully, especially in NBA terms, still being the primary contributor to any success the Warriors can have this season. He could have many more years to give, similar to LeBron James, who is still competing atop the league at the age of 39.
Steph is averaging 26.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this season. He’s currently recovering from an injury, as the Warriors have gone 1-2 in the three games he’s missed. They’re on the brink of falling out of the top-six race in the West, needing to pull off a huge turnaround through their last 19 games to turn their 34-31 record to challenge the teams ahead of them.
Stephen Curry Wants To Be Remembered As The Greatest Point Guard Ever
On his 36th birthday, we have to acknowledge what Curry has achieved in these years. The Warriors point guard has averaged 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists over his career, winning four NBA Championships, two regular-season MVPs, and one Finals MVP. He’s made nine All-NBA teams, 10 All-Star teams, and is a former scoring champion.
Curry’s impact on the game might be bigger than any single player since Shaquille O’Neal, as he changed the way teams play basketball and construct their rosters. His incredible shooting prowess brought the three-point revolution to the NBA, as shooting ability has become the primary ability behind success in the modern NBA.
Isiah Thomas recently pushed back on Curry’s case as the GOAT point guard, mainly because he doesn’t possess the qualities of a true point guard.
“When you define the position of point guard, this is in the era where they say we are positionless. But then you wanna say ‘he’s a point guard’ or ‘he’s not a point guard.’ On the Warriors, you [Draymond] are the point guard. You have more assists than Steph. You bring the ball up, you initiate the offense, you set the defense, you run the show. Steph comes off screens, he catches, and he shoots… and he’s one of the greatest shooters ever. I won a different way. As a point guard, I led my team in scoring and assists to back-to-back championships… on the Golden Stae Warriors, you [Draymond] are the point guard and that is okay.”
Even if Curry isn’t one of the top playmakers at his position, the way he’s played basketball has fundamentally changed the position. You could be a dimer who couldn’t shoot during Thomas’ era, but that isn’t possible for any competent team nowadays.
His impact on smaller players who’d be made to play point guard is incredible, as he proved they can be primary scoring options instead of being pigeonholed as playmakers.
He’s changed the game of basketball and will be remembered as one of the greatest. Whether you can call him the GOAT of his position is up to subjective interpretations, but it can’t be disputed that Curry has earned a seat next to Magic Johnson in this debate.
