Steph Curry is currently signed with the Golden State Warriors through the next two seasons, but his father, former NBA guard Dell Curry, believes Curry could keep playing for longer than that. Steph will be 39 by the time his deal with the Warriors ends, but his dad believes he can continue playing at a high level into his 40s.

“Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he’s going to require attention,” Dell told RG.org's DJ Siddiqi. “Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he’s creating space for other guys around him. If you can shoot the basketball, there’s a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you’re Steph Curry, I think you’re going to be able to play until you say, ‘I’m done.’”
