IT IS DONE: Golden State Warriors Basketball point guard Stephen Curry Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Coach Steve Kerr Speechless with Major Announcement Concerning

In a jaw-dropping moment that sent shockwaves through the basketball world, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry stood at center court at the Chase Center and delivered five words that would ignite a storm of speculation and emotion across the NBA: “It is done. I’m retiring.”

For over a decade, Steph Curry has been synonymous with the Golden State Warriors. The baby-faced assassin revolutionized the game with his deep three-pointers, lightning-quick handles, and clutch performances that redefined the modern NBA. But now, after 16 unforgettable seasons, Curry has decided to hang up his jersey, leaving fans stunned, teammates emotional, and head coach Steve Kerr completely speechless.

A Sudden Yet Poetic Exit

The announcement came minutes after the Warriors’ final game of the 2024–25 season, a hard-fought playoff loss that saw Curry drop 38 points in a vintage performance. With cameras rolling and fans still in their seats, Curry grabbed the mic and said, “This team, this city, and this game have given me everything. But after a lot of prayer, conversations with my family, and reflection, I’ve decided: It is done.”

The crowd fell silent. Then erupted.

Teammates rushed toward him, some embracing, others in disbelief. Head coach Steve Kerr, visibly emotional, struggled to find words when reporters approached him moments later. “He didn’t even tell us before the game,” Kerr said, shaking his head. “He told us he wanted us to play free, enjoy the moment. And now I understand why. I’m still trying to process it.”

The Legacy Left Behind

Stephen Curry leaves the game not just as a four-time NBA champion, but as one of the most transformational players in league history. His accolades speak volumes:

4× NBA Champion (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022)

2× NBA MVP (2015, 2016 — the first-ever unanimous MVP)

10× All-Star

All-time leader in three-pointers made

Career average of 24.8 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.3 rebounds

But beyond the numbers, Curry changed the geometry of the game. He expanded the range from which shots are taken, inspired a generation of young players, and brought a level of joy and flair that made every game must-watch television.

Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. paid tribute to Curry during the post-game press conference: “There will never be another Steph. What he gave to this franchise, to the Bay Area, and to basketball as a whole — it’s unquantifiable.”

What’s Next for Steph?

While Curry didn’t outline specific post-retirement plans, he hinted that he wouldn’t be disappearing from the spotlight. “I’ve got a few more stories to tell, maybe a few more shots to take — just not on the hardwood,” he said with a smile.

Fans and insiders alike are already speculating on his next move. Will he transition into coaching? Will he join a broadcast team as an analyst? Will he focus on his growing brand, Underrated, and continue to champion young athletes?

Some even believe he might take on a bigger role within the Warriors organization. “He’s not going far,” Kerr said confidently. “This building will always be his home.”

Reactions Across the League

Tributes poured in from around the league. Former rival and current Lakers star LeBron James posted on social media: “Salute to one of the greatest to ever do it. You changed the game, 30. Much respect.”

Kevin Durant, Curry’s former teammate, wrote: “Legend. Grateful I got to share the court with you, brother.”

Meanwhile, younger stars like Luka Dončić, Ja Morant, and Trae Young spoke openly about Curry being their inspiration. “No Steph, no me,” said Young. “He made it okay for guards like me to dream big.”

A Bay Area Icon

In the Bay Area, where Curry is as beloved as any sports figure in history, fans are already planning ways to honor the icon. Murals are being painted. “Thank You, Steph” billboards are going up. Local news channels have preempted regular programming for wall-to-wall coverage of his announcement.

City officials in San Francisco and Oakland have reportedly begun discussions about naming a street — or even a future arena — after him.

Final Thoughts

Stephen Curry’s decision to retire may have come suddenly, but the impact he leaves behind is everlasting. More than just a basketball player, he’s a cultural icon, a family man, a philanthropist, and a symbol of what it means to lead with joy, humility, and determination.

As fans around the world process the news, one thing is certain: We will never see another quite like him.

So yes, Steph. It is done.
