🔥BREAKING — “One More Run”: Stephen Curry Defies Time, Logic, and Steve Kerr as Warriors’ Fire Still Burns Hotter Than Ever🔥
When Steve Kerr motioned for Stephen Curry to take a seat, the 37-year-old legend did something that reminded everyone why he’s still the heartbeat of the Golden State Warriors — he simply refused. The Blazers had just called a timeout. Curry, already dazzling with 26 points in the third quarter, wanted “one more run.” One more chance to remind everyone that time may age bodies, but it hasn’t yet found a way to slow down his fire.
Curry sliced through contact, dropped a layup, and then — almost ritualistically — pulled up from 27 feet for another impossible triple. Kerr could only shake his head and grin. “Just a methodical approach, calculated as usual,” the coach said afterward. That’s how Curry’s been doing it — for 17 seasons and counting.
This wasn’t just another preseason showcase. It was a statement. In his 16th year, Curry led Golden State to the Western Conference semifinals as the oldest guard in NBA history to earn back-to-back All-NBA honors. Now, with his 17th campaign underway, he’s chasing something bigger than stats or milestones — he’s chasing the impossible: to extend greatness indefinitely.
The numbers are absurd. Through four exhibition games, Curry averaged 18.3 points in just 21.7 minutes, hit 44.8% from deep, and sank 18 of 19 free throws. His on-court presence? A +10.7 differential per 100 possessions. Every touch still bends the defense, every movement still manipulates the geometry of the floor.
But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. That lingering sting in his left hamstring — first felt in the Western Conference semifinals against Minnesota — never quite disappeared through the summer. “I don’t think I’m over that disappointment,” Curry admitted. “You always wonder — what if I hadn’t gotten hurt? What if we’d won one more game?”
That “what if” fuels him now. After a brutal playoff run that saw the Warriors claw through Houston in seven before falling to the Timberwolves, Curry is back with the same hunger, the same rhythm, the same electric energy that once ignited a dynasty.
Offseason conditioning, team chemistry, a “really good camp,” as Curry called it — all point to a Warriors team ready to shock anyone counting them out. The arrival of Jimmy Butler midseason last year sparked a late surge; now, with Curry leading from the front, that energy feels less like nostalgia and more like prophecy.
As the Warriors prepare to open the season in Los Angeles, the whispers around the league have changed. Once people asked, when will Curry slow down? Now they’re asking, what if he never does?
Because as the lights dim and the preseason fades, there’s one truth echoing through the Bay: Stephen Curry isn’t reminiscing on his prime — he’s rewriting what it means to have one.
