It's also hard to deny, however, that Curry is now getting up there in years. The 11-time All-Star turned 37 last March, and he is coming off his 16th season with the Warriors.
On Tuesday, Golden State posted a photo of the former back-to-back MVP that showed a side-by-side look of Curry during his rookie year and from last season.
The change in his physical appearance through the years has been staggering, and the fans on social media could not help but react to the major transition.

"Baby Steph and grown Steph," said another.
"He looks so young. Well obviously he was young 😂" a fan wrote.
"Wow, 16 years of growth—what a difference!" an X comment read.
"The more things change (or age), the more they stay the same! Lol," another said.
"bby omg," a user reacted.

Curry isn't getting any younger, and the fact of the matter is that he only has a few more years left in him before he calls time on what has been a decorated career.
As such, the fans better enjoy him while they still can because the day Steph Curry decides to hang up his laces is approaching.

Rudy Gobert Shares Cryptic Three-Word Message About His Timberwolves Future
Rudy Gobert Shares Cryptic Three-Word Message About His Timberwolves Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Minnesota Timberwolves were close to reaching the NBA Finals for their second-straight season, only to fall to the top team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Advertisement Due to another failed attempt, offseason moves seem likely, despite how much some fans might want to see the team's core players remain in place for a championship push. Last season saw the addition of Julius Randle via trade to the starting lineup, replacing Karl Anthony-Towns after many seasons. Randle played a key role as the former All-Star slid right into the frontcourt alongside big man Rudy Gobert. Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (27).Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images Gobert, a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, spent nine seasons with the Utah Jazz before coming to Minnesota. He appeared in 72 games in the past season, averaging 12 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game. Advertisement In the team's Game 5 against the Thunder, he finished with just a field goal and five boards in 19 minutes on the hardwood. The game was a 30-point blowout, and his numbers weren't the inspiring sort of performance necessary to help stave off elimination. On Friday, he shared a message with fans amid his uncertain future with the Timberwolves. "To be continued...," was all Gobert wrote in his X message, which also included a photo of him huddled with teammates on the court and praying hands, wolf, and championship trophy emojis. As mentioned, the team could make significant changes to the roster. There's ongoing Kevin Durant trade talks, with a deal expected near the NBA Draft. The Timberwolves are among the select teams that could pull off a big deal for KD. Advertisement As trade rumors swirl, ESPN's Dave McMenamin speculated that a deal could include Gobert going to the Phoenix Suns to make salaries work. The team's other option is Randle, who they would probably prefer to keep with Durant and Anthony Edwards. Last year, ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Gobert declined his $46.6 million player option and signed a contract extension to remain with the Timberwolves through the 2027-28 season. His recent message could suggest he believes he'll be a part of the team next season. However, adding a superstar of Durant's caliber would unite KD with Ant-Man, giving the team two of the league's best scorers, capable of taking over games. Fans probably wouldn't mind seeing that duo contending with the rest of the league's best. Gobert will likely learn what his future is with Minnesota in the next several weeks, as the team decides upon the best personnel to further contend for a championship.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes Told Me AI Will Radically Change Social Media. Here's How
Woman in her 20s getting ready in the morning, laptop half open, reading text message As social media continues to evolve in how it captures our attention, using an algorithm to make sure we're clicking and scrolling, there is a whole new frontier facing us. In the coming years, one expert told me social media will start to expand beyond doomscrolling to make sure we all stay riveted to content for longer periods of time—even rivaling popular streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu. Chris Hayes knows a lot about capturing attention. He is a former print journalist who now hosts a primetime news program on MSNBC. He has an engaging style on his show and an equally impressive writing style. His book The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource is about battling distractions in life. Hayes offered insights about how social media will continue to evolve—mostly by keeping us hooked to our feeds—that suggest we're in for a wild ride. Early in the book, Hayes writes about how distraction is nothing new. At one time, reading a novel was considered a distraction from real life. Hayes also mentions the advent of radio and television as a serious cause for concern. (I guess we lost that battle. We now watch almost three hours of television per day on average.) With social media, the next phase of distraction—according to Hayes—will not center on capturing attention but on holding and sustaining our attention. We currently spend a little over two hours on social media apps per day, according to recent reports. Hayes says the advent of artificial intelligence might keep us hooked far longer. 'TikTok is probably the most sophisticated in this regard,' he says. 'The model, as I say in the book, is the iterative grabbing of attention for little bursts over and over like the slot machine. One thing I do wonder about is whether AI will get good enough that companies can start to use the experimental method that runs the algorithms to actually make longer form stories.' Hayes described an example where you might be grabbed by a news story or some other piece of content, and then the AI will monitor how users click, scroll, and react. Over time, the AI would then adjust the story, graphics, and even the entire narrative to maximize sustainability. That means social media will not only hook us on content but keep us hooked far longer, perhaps as long as television. Hayes did tell me we're in an interesting phase where there is plenty of AI slop out there and some of that content is not exactly holding or sustaining our attention. We seem to know what AI-generated content looks like when we see an image on Instagram or watch a video on Facebook. Some studies suggest we can identify AI content about 70% of the time. That study is from 2025, however. Recently, new studies are starting to reveal that humans misidentify AI content a little more often and it is going to get worse. Eventually, we don't know the difference. Hayes says this phase of knowing when something is created by an AI might be short-lived as the technology (and the algorithms) improve. 'One obvious way [to sustain our attention] is populating our online universe with 'people' that aren't really people but rather increasingly sophisticated Turing-test-passing bots that are trying to sell us stuff or push some political project,' he explained. When an AI can create content, capture our attention, and then adjust the content based on user reaction, we might all be at the mercy of the bots. As AI improves and social media seeks to steal us away from apps like Netflix, Hayes says the trick is to train ourselves to recognize when we're being sucked into the void. He suggests spending at least 20 minutes per day without any technology—alone with our own thoughts. He also says it's important to avoid isolation. We tend to scroll more (and for longer periods of time) when we are alone and bored, he says. 'Spend time with people you like and love,' he suggests. That might be the ultimate cure. After all, the best way to avoid the allure of AI and social media is to do something so cool in life that you don't even need distractions anymore.
