As much as Draymond Green respects Stephen Curry’s game, it would be hard to find someone else who does. That was clear from what Green said about Curry not long ago. He praised the shooting guard’s drive, inspiration, and ability to do something that not many players can: beat Father Time.

“He’s one of the most interesting people you’ll meet.” Steph seems like a nice person, right? He laughs. He’s the best kid. You name it—the babyface killer. He’s all of these things. What’s really going on? Green told SiriusXM NBA Radio that Curry works “as hard as I’ve ever seen anyone work.” Curry’s drive is like a fire that never goes out.

For him, it’s like you can just watch him. He wants to fight old age. Every day, it’s clear to me. This guy keeps working harder and harder, like he’s trying to beat getting older. Everyone knows that Father Time has never lost, and guess what he’s doing now? Right now, he’s beating those chances.

Curry scored 29.4 points per game last season, which was the third-best mark of his career. Green is right. He did it when he was 34 years old and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

The 2023–24 season starts on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET at home for Golden State against the Suns.
