And that means Lacob and Guber, at some point in the coming years, will tiptoe into a post-Curry world for the first time. (Cue ominous music.) “It’s going to be really, really hard to do this without a Steph Curry or someone like that in the future,” Lacob said last week in a Chronicle interview. “He’s not going to play forever, though I do think he may play longer than we all think. He might be the Tom Brady of the NBA. … “I look forward to it in a way probably no one else can understand, because it will be a tremendous challenge to try to replicate what we’ve done in the first 15 years over the next 15. But I’m looking forward to that, because it’s something we want to try to do — to prove we do a good job and it’s not just Steph Curry.”
More on Stephen Curry
In desperate need of a response after a blowout road loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors turned to their most reliable slump-buster 24 hours later. Stephen Curry, the 17-year NBA legend in his own personal skid, blasted off for 22 third-quarter points as part of a 46-point performance to lead the Warriors to a 125-120 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday night. It was the 73rd time Curry has reached 40 in his career and the 43rd time since his 30th birthday. Only Michael Jordan (44) has done it more times after turning 30. “Routine,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr called it. ESPN | Nov. 13, 2025
Curry was the key, naturally. Durant worried what Curry thought about ceding some of his spotlight, but Myers recalled the way Curry carried himself throughout the courting process. “Steph was so calm about adding Kevin,” Myers said. “In an era where we often want only one lead singer in the band, I remember how authentic Steph was about it: ‘If this guy can help us win more championships, then there’s really nothing else to talk about.’ “For him to be so honestly engaged, and willing to try to get Kevin to come, was something I’ll never forget. Steph was the linchpin who could stop the whole thing, but he said, ‘I just want to win. I don’t care about points and MVP.’ “Plenty of athletes would say, ‘I want to win, but not if I’m not The Guy. I don’t want to be co-CEO.’ Steph didn’t take that approach. And our players were so genuine about saying, ‘We’d love to have you, but do what’s best for you.’ I think that resonated with Kevin. They didn’t pressure him.” San Francisco Chronicle | Nov. 13, 2025
