On Saturday, Donte DiVincenzo appeared on "The Young Man and The Three" podcast, when he mentioned what he learnt when he joined the seven-time champions.

"Not everything is going to be, you know, smooth sailing throughout your career. To go to Golden State and you just learn that approach everyday and watching Steph [Curry] and watching - people forget Andre Iguodala was there and like watching him everyday, I always joke with him, like 60 years old being in the gym. He's the first one there, last one to leave, all the time."

While Father Time is getting closer, Steph Curry has been open about his thoughts on retirement. He acknowledged that it's something that's always on his mind, but he doesn't feel like he's anywhere close to calling it quits.

Curry emphasized that he wants to leave the game on his own terms. He will know it's time to retire when his body or mind tells him it's time, but for now, he's focused on enjoying the moment and making the most of his remaining time in the league.

Curry's contract with the Warriors runs through the 2025-26 season. He'll be 38 years old in the final year of his contract but till then, fans of the Warriors will want to see more from the Baby-Faced Assassin and his new partnership with Jimmy Butler as they push for another title.
