In a jaw-dropping turn of events that no one saw coming, Golden State Warriors icon and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry has submitted his official resignation from the organization, leaving fans, teammates, and the entire basketball world in stunned disbelief.
The 37-year-old point guard, widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history and a foundational pillar of the Warriors dynasty, delivered the shocking announcement early Tuesday morning via a brief but emotionally charged statement.
“This decision didn’t come easily. But after deep reflection, I know it’s time. Not just for me — but for the future of the game,” Curry wrote. “My journey with the Warriors has been legendary, but my next chapter calls.”
NBA in Disbelief
The announcement has sent shockwaves through the NBA, with reactions pouring in from players, analysts, and fans across the globe. Curry’s sudden resignation not only marks the end of an era in Golden State but also raises major questions about the team’s immediate future and leadership structure.
Just last season, Curry averaged over 24 points per game and remained a central figure in the Warriors’ playoff push. There had been no prior indication of retirement or organizational conflict.
Why Did He Step Away?
While Curry did not immediately confirm whether this marks the end of his playing career entirely or just his departure from Golden State, sources close to the team suggest the move was prompted by growing differences in vision between Curry and the Warriors’ front office — particularly regarding the direction of the team’s rebuild and roster management.
Insiders also point to Curry’s increasing interest in off-court ventures, including philanthropy, film production, and social impact initiatives.
“Steph has always moved with purpose,” said former teammate Andre Iguodala. “If he’s stepping away, it’s not out of impulse — it’s because he’s ready to lead in a different way.”
A Legacy Cemented
Over his 16-year career, Curry has redefined modern basketball with his deep shooting range, unmatched ball-handling, and leadership. With 4 NBA championships, 2 MVP awards, and a revolutionary influence on how the game is played, his legacy in Golden State — and the NBA — is already etched in history.
Fans gathered outside Chase Center within hours of the announcement, laying down jerseys, flowers, and hand-written notes thanking Curry for “changing the game forever.”
What’s Next?
Curry is expected to hold a live press conference in the coming days to clarify his decision and address speculation about retirement, a potential move to another team, or a new role in basketball entirely — possibly in ownership, coaching, or global advocacy.
The Golden State Warriors have yet to release an official response beyond confirming receipt of Curry’s resignation.
