Even though Stephen Curry is heading into his age-38 season, he’s still one of the NBA’s elite players. The Golden State Warriors star remains one of the league’s most impactful offensive weapons thanks to his shooting ability and constant movement away from the ball.
That impact was reflected in The Ringer’s annual player rankings, where Curry was listed as the NBA’s 10th-best player entering the 2026-27 season.
“Curry has already blown past the outer limits of what a smaller point guard ought to be capable of at his age,” The Ringer’s staff wrote. “Allen Iverson was out of the league at 35; John Stockton and Steve Nash played to 40 and 39, respectively, but neither was dropping more than 26 points in less than 31 minutes per game (something only Steph and Giannis Antetokounmpo have accomplished in all of NBA history). But Curry’s minutes have dropped precipitously in four consecutive seasons as Golden State tries to figure out the balance of simultaneously preserving and maximizing its franchise legend.”
Curry is still talented enough to be the driving force for a championship team. The question is whether the Warriors’ front office can piece together enough talent to help get him back to the NBA Finals. Fortunately, the franchise has enough young players and draft picks to be active in the trade market, should a logical opportunity arise.
Either way, though, the Warriors will continue to be a threat so long as Curry is healthy and playing at the level we’ve come to expect from him. Only time will tell if another championship is in his future.
