For anyone who says the @warriors are rolling with the same team as last year… WRONG
No Butler, No Moody, No Post, No Spencer

How are they the same team? They are way worse if they stand pat. In fact, players are a year older.
"I wouldn't wanna see LeBron James, Steph Curry and Draymond Green in a playoff series. No one's gonna call them a top tier contender, but that's one heck of a puncher's chance to be dealing with those guys."
@_JasonLT can't imagine a Warriors team with LeBron | @SteinyGuru957
2016 Finals were completely rigged.
Draymond suspended retroactively. Steph fouls out on ghost calls in Game 6.
One of the most manipulated series the league has ever seen.
To put it in context, Steph is at 4233 for his career and will surely top 4500.
If you hit 300/yr for 15 straight years you’d be at 4500.
To hit 300 you need to average 4/gm for 75 games.
300 threes in a season has only been done 10 times in history (6 of which are Steph)
For decades, aging in sports followed a script:
🔸Mid-30s? Decline.
🔸Late-30s? Farewell tour.
🔸40? Thank you for your service.
Then Tom Brady broke the timeline:
⌚At 43, he won a Super Bowl.
⌚At 44, he led the league in passing yards.
⌚At 45, he was still a starting quarterback.
He didn't just extend his career.
He normalized the idea that greatness doesn't expire on schedule.
Now enter Steph Curry.
🔹A player once labeled "injury-prone."
🔹A star whose early seasons were clouded by ankle surgeries.
🔹A career that almost never reached takeoff.
And now listen to him (via People Magazine):
"Thinking about the end robs you of the now… It'll declare itself, whenever the time comes to call it quits, which I don't think is anytime soon."
That's not a man easing toward retirement.
That's someone who believes the window is still open.
Curry's game ages differently.
It's not built on bullying defenders above the rim.
It's skill. Movement. Endurance.
The kind of shooting touch that doesn't suddenly disappear.
Brady proved longevity is a choice as much as it is a blessing.
👉Obsess over recovery.
👉Evolve your body.
👉Refine your craft.
The old aging curve is fading.
Late 30s will soon feel normal. Early 40s won't feel impossible.
Would Curry at 41 still commanding double teams shock you?
After Brady, it shouldn't.
The league used to count down stars.
Now the stars might just outlast the countdown.
