Stephen Curry: Winning Fifth Ring ‘Only Thing I’m Really Playing For At This Point’

Stephen Curry continues to be one of the NBA’s best players at the age of 36 and he recently said that potentially winning a fifth championship is what drives him.

“Honestly, it’s the only thing I’m really playing for at this point,” Curry said on the NBC Sports Bay Area’s “Dubs Talk,” which debuted Wednesday. “It’s the only thing that matters in the sense of accomplishment.”

The Warriors last won a title in 2022 and reached the second round in 2023. In 2024, the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in.

“I still love to play the game,” Curry said. “I still love to come to work every day. Basketball is still fun for me. The challenge of trying to figure out how to win on a nightly basis, I still get up for it.”

If Curry were to win a fifth ring, he would join Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Magic Johnson as part of that exclusive club.

“All that goes into the obsession of trying to be the best basketball player that I can be,” Curry said, “and trying to lift my team up and have them lift me up to be able to be relevant in that conversation.

“And then, obviously, in the historical realm of basketball, there is another level. You talk about five-time champions and beyond that. It’s a good place to start from, but I definitely want to get greedy.”
