"Curry Bron and KD retiring in the same year": Fans erupt after Steph Curry makes his feelings clear on retirement

Steph Curry, who is currently playing in his 16th NBA season, on Tuesday candidly spoke about his retirement ahead of the Golden State Warriors' highly anticipated Christmas Day matchup against LeBron James and the Lakers. In an interview with ESPN's Malika Andrews, Curry candidly acknowledged that he is nearing the end of his illustrious NBA career.

"More than I’ve probably had before,” Curry said on thinking about retirement. "I think it’s okay to accept and acknowledge that the end is near at whatever point only because it allows you to enjoy what’s happening right now.

"I think the more you talk about it, the more you acknowledge it, it levels up just the sense of urgency of the moment now."

Social media erupted after the four-time champion openly expressed his thoughts about potentially stepping away from the NBA.

"Bro Curry Bron and KD retiring in the same year is going to be so sad," a fan commented.

"Him and Lebron retiring soon going to be wild," commented another fan.

"He’s had a great run, but he’s pushing 40. It might be time to hang it up soon," a fan said.

"Stephen Curry needs LeBron James to carry him. He doesn't have it anymore. LeBron to Golden State," said another fan.

"im gunna be so sad when this guy retires… might even call out," a user wrote.

"Imagine a day that we no longer see Steph Bron and KD on the court anymore... Don't see the young guns having the same aura as these three legends," another user wrote.
