The NBA is full of the best basketball players in the world.
For the past decade, Stephen Curry has been the cream of the crop, but he is now 37 years old.
With his shooting ability, he may be able to extend his career for a few more years, and even after retirement, he will likely remain a great player.
Recently, Bleacher Report put together a list of the top 100 players heading into next season, and Curry was ranked fifth.
“Still an offense unto himself and still the player whose possession of the basketball inspires more fear in a defense than anyone else, Stephen Curry is an All-NBA, championship-caliber alpha at the ripe old age of 37,” Grant Hughes said Wednesday.
“Among players who logged at least 2,000 minutes last season, Nikola Jokić was the only one whose presence on the court improved his team's effective field-goal percentage more than Steph's.”

“The undisputed greatest shooter of all time may not be what he was a decade ago when he was a unanimous MVP, but it's shocking how closely he still resembles that version of himself.”
Surprisingly, Curry is ranked higher than LeBron James, who landed at the eighth spot.
The two players between them are Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards, who may have just as big an impact on the game as Curry and James.
This shows they did factor in age, but it doesn’t matter when it comes to Curry.
The four-time champion can transform any roster into a competitor, and his value is still at an all-time high.
Though he isn’t in the top three like he once was, he is still one of the best in the league.
