Steve Kerr Gives 5 Reasons Why Stephen Curry Should Leave The Golden State Warriors
Superstar point guard Stephen Curry has five strong reasons to leave the Golden State Warriors.
Curry also interestingly removed “Warriors Guard” from his bio on Instagram and that has set social media in a frenzy. The superstar averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game last season so he is still an elite point guard, but he must consider his future in Golden State because it is obvious the roster isn’t good enough to win a championship right now. Even if the Warriors franchise does not want to see Curry leave under any circumstances, the superstar point guard has five major reasons to consider leaving the Golden State Warriors as soon as possible.
1. Capture A Fifth NBA Championship
Stephen Curry’s legacy as one of the greatest point guards of all time is secure, but the pursuit of a fifth NBA championship could elevate him even further into the basketball pantheon. While Magic Johnson’s resume is undeniably legendary with five titles, three MVPs, and three Finals MVPs, Curry’s impact on the game with his unparalleled shooting and offensive prowess has changed the sport in a way few others have.
Adding a fifth ring would not only put Curry on par with Magic in terms of championships but also strengthen his case as the greatest point guard ever. For Curry, this is about legacy—joining the exclusive club of multiple-time champions would solidify his place among the top 10 players of all time, a status currently debated among basketball historians.
Curry’s desire to win another title is evident, but the current Warriors roster may not be positioned to help him achieve that goal. Winning a fifth title outside of Golden State would not only add to his legacy but also demonstrate his ability to adapt and thrive in a new environment and also win three total championships without Kevin Durant who stacked the deck in Golden State’s favor in 2017 and 2018.
2. 2024 Summer Olympics Proves Curry Is Still In His Prime
Stephen Curry’s performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics served as a powerful reminder that he is still very much in his prime. Leading Team USA in scoring with 14.8 points per game, Curry was arguably the best offensive player on the court throughout the tournament. His ability to perform at such a high level on the international stage, even at 36 years old, showcases that he still has plenty left in the tank. The Olympic gold medal was the one major accolade missing from his illustrious career, and his dominant play in Paris proved that he’s far from done adding to his legacy.
