Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors has been in the league for 16 years, but according to someone very close to him, he’s never been better.
His trainer, Brandon Payne, recently spoke about Curry and the level he’s playing at.
Simply put, he believes the rest of the NBA should be very afraid.
“His first-step quickness and explosiveness is the fastest that it’s ever been, if not faster. But as players age, the one thing they can do is continue to work on processing information fast and make faster decisions to offset any gap that is created with losing a step. That hasn’t happened with him yet. So when you combine the fact that physically he’s still at a peak and now he’s making decisions faster, we have a very quick player out there,” Payne said.

Curry is 37 years old, so it would be understandable if he slowed down a little bit.
But Payne doesn’t think that’s happening.
He claims that his explosiveness and speed are only getting better, which is remarkable for someone his age.
Meanwhile, his decision-making is top-notch, which makes him one of the best point guards, ball handlers, and floor generals in basketball.
This is great news for Warriors fans who are hoping to witness Curry win at least one more championship before he retires.
Some people are writing the team off because of the age of Curry and his fellow Warriors players.
But this report from his trainer says that Curry will be in perfect shape when 2025-26 kicks off in a few weeks.
The West has never been tougher, so it may not be enough, but Curry is going to give it all he’s got.
