Short of 40-year-old Curry? When shooting becomes a strategic deterrent, he has surpassed basketball itself or not

Imagine that in a key battle in 2030, Curry, who is over 40 years old, stood quietly in the bottom corner, and his sweat soaked in his jersey. The defender knew that the Warriors' tactics would most likely not be passed to him, but he was still nailed to him like a great enemy - let him go? This idea itself is a tactical suicide. This scene is clearly outlined by his father Dell Curry on the show: "Even if he is 40 or 41 years old, you will never be able to let him go."

Curry's 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6 assists are still dazzling, but Dell's assertion reveals a deeper truth: projection talent has been sublimated from scoring weapons to strategic deterrence. When a player's "presence" alone is enough to tear the defensive system, the basketball rules are quietly rewritten for him. Korver was still a deadly space point before retiring at the age of 41, and Ray Allen was able to shoot the championship three-pointer at the age of 38. There was a precedent for the projection veteran's "ultra-long standby". Curry is broadening this path to an unprecedented strategic height with his first shooting technique and no-ball restraint.

Curry's value in his later years was by no means a traditional "bottom-corner shooter". His unball move and gravitational effect were enough to make the opponent's defense line full of troops. "Kuyou Gravity" enters dusk, and its power of distorted space may be more purely fatal. It does not require a strong attack with the ball, and it can force the defensive formation to collapse like a domino chain. This is not a character relegation, but a deeper domination over the game.

When Dell said bluntly that Curry "want to win the championship again", we should think: If the afterglow of the Warriors dynasty is gone, will Curry need to commit his team to the fifth championship? Or, as my father said, he has the ultimate choice of "beating until you say 'I'm done'". This freedom is exactly the highest privilege given by historical projection - when time cannot take away your weapons, retirement becomes a pure declaration of personal will.

Perhaps Curry's future greatness is that he can finally break free from the shackles of "chasing Jordan". When he stands in a corner of the court one day, he no longer needs to prove his value with scores. He suffocates his opponent by his existence alone, and basketball has become an extension of his will to life. After all, the pointer of the retired clock was only in his own hands and turned.

After all, a legend who can dismantle the enemy's defense by just standing, his career length has long been redefined by the projection gene that cannot be sealed by time - he stands, which is the offensive system.
