A cloud of sadness descended upon the Chase Center today as Golden State Warriors’ iconic point guard, Stephen Curry, officially announced his departure from the franchise after an illustrious career spanning over 15 years.
The announcement came during a somber press conference where Curry, visibly emotional, revealed that he would be leaving the Warriors due to a combination of personal considerations and the desire to explore new challenges outside of Golden State.
> “This has been the hardest decision of my life,” Curry said, holding back tears. “Golden State has been my home since day one. The fans, my teammates, this city—will always have a piece of my heart. But after deep reflection with my family and loved ones, I believe it’s time for a new chapter.”
Curry’s departure marks the end of an era for the Warriors, who built their dynasty around his leadership, shooting brilliance, and relentless drive. He led the team to four NBA championships, earned two MVP titles, and revolutionized the game with his unmatched three-point shooting.
While Curry did not disclose his next move, speculation is already swirling about potential retirement, a move to another team, or even a transition into a leadership or front-office role within the NBA.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed both sorrow and gratitude:
“Steph changed the game and changed our lives. It’s impossible to imagine Warriors basketball without him, but we support him and thank him for everything.”
Fans across the Bay Area and the basketball world are mourning the news, flooding social media with messages of love, gratitude, and disbelief. Many are already planning tributes in honor of the man widely considered the greatest shooter in basketball history.
