NBA great Stephen Curry said he is appreciating his 16th season, knowing he is closing in on the end of his record-setting career.

"It's OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near," Curry said in a clip of an interview posted to the NBA on ESPN's account on X. "But only because it allows you to enjoy what's happening right now. But I think the more you talk about it and the more you acknowledge it, the more it levels up the sense of urgency in the moment, now."

Curry, 36, has led the Golden State Warriors to four NBA titles. He's a two-time league Most Valuable Player, a 10-time All-Star and the all-time leader in 3-point shots made with 3,841.

And despite being limited to two points in a blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec 20 — he was 0-for-7 shooting — Curry remains a highly productive NBA player.

This season, he's averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game. And while his scoring output is down from 29.4 points per game in 2022-23 and 26.4 last season, he's exceeding his career averages in rebounds (4.7) and assists (6.4).
