ESPN analyst believes Stephen Curry will share the same relationship with Bay Area as Kobe Bryant did with Los Angeles

Stephen Curry is one of the few players left in the NBA who is still on the same team that initially drafted him.

The NBA is a business that players and franchises seek to profit from. Due to the large amounts of money involved, we often see Superstars switch teams, choosing the most lucrative contract at the expense of their loyalty.

However, there are some exceptions. Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are examples of superstars who have dedicated their entire careers to a franchise.

Leader of the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry he is one of only two active players left in the league to be on the same team that drafted him for 13 seasons or more. According to many basketball analysts, Steph is projected to add his name to this distinguished list of talented individuals who will represent the same organization throughout their career.

“Stephen Curry is the most revered athlete in the Bay Area”: Marc J Spears

Steph was drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 2009 with their No. 7 pick. Back then, GSW was not one of the winningest franchises in the league. In fact, the San Francisco-based organization made only one postseason appearance in more than 16 seasons.

However, today, The Baby-Faced Assassin has taken the franchise to success that they have never witnessed before. In his 13 years as a Warriors, the wily 6-foot-3 guard has made 8 All-Star appearances and 8 All-NBA selections. He even won 2 scoring titles, 2 MVPs, 1 Finals MVP and helped Golden State win the championship 4 times.

In truth, Curry has to be credited for the Warriors becoming a dynasty.

Marc J Spears is one of many who believe Chef Curry will retire as a warrior. Comparing the GOAT 3-point run to that of Bryant, Bird, Duncan and Nowitzki, the ESPN analyst further said:

“I think he’s one of the people like Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki… When [Steph] Curry is in his final days, there will be plenty of tears from Warriors fans. He is, for me, the most revered. [Bay Area] athlete ever… I see him finishing his career there.”
