Age is just a number for Stephen Curry<\/a>, who turns 37 in March. The four-time champion continues to be one of NBA’s top draws alongside LeBron James<\/a>. In his 16th season, the Davidson prodigy has played all his pro basketball career in a Warriors uniform so far, capturing the imagination of millions.<\/p>\n

A once-in-a-lifetime attraction, Curry’s name will be etched in the history books for his impact on the game. The two-time MVP has done it all from individual accomplishments to winning multiple titles. However, the veteran guard finds himself in a challenging situation with the Dubs<\/a> today.\u00a0While Curry continues to display no signs of aging, the Warriors roster seems to be having its struggles. Addressing Curry’s legacy during an episode of FanDuel’s Run It Back<\/em>, host Michelle Beadle had some interesting questions for her panel of Chandler Parsons<\/a> and Lou Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3-Time 6th Man of the Year Predicts Stephen Curry’s Longevity<\/h2>\n

Stephen Curry Refuses to Age<\/h3>\n

Dealing with a couple of injury tweaks, Curry never fails to step up for the Dubs. Averaging<\/a> 22.6 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 6.1 APG, and 1.2 SPG, the veteran guard is shooting 41.1% from beyond the arc in his 30 games played so far. Unfortunately, this isn’t enough to save the Warriors,<\/a> who have been on a downward spiral lately.<\/p>\n

Talking about Curry’s future in the Bay Area, FanDuel’s panel had some interesting takes to offer. Highlighting his three-point skill set, Parsons stated that the Warriors guard could play for as long as he wished. Resonating a similar view, although mentioning the challenges of being an undersized guard, Williams thought the superstar could also go the Ray Allen<\/a> route.<\/p>\n

“I think he has several years to go. One interesting thing that I would say is and I’ll probably get some flak for this – outside of the Kyle Korvers and the Ray Allens and these guys you know that have been three-point shooters. Steph has always been considered an undersized guard. So how does that translate when you’re at 38-39 years old….If he can give a team that is something great like a Ray Allen, where he’s that three-point shooter…a complete sniper for a team, I can see him playing for another four or five years.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
