“Oh my goodness. That’s the stuff you don’t tell me, so don’t tell me that, Curry remarked after the game.

Steph Curry participated in all 35 minutes of the Warriors’ Monday night victory over the Rockets, which ended their six-game losing streak. This included the entirety of the fourth quarter.

The 35-year-old guard didn’t start pleading for an ice bath until the conclusion of his postgame radio interview, when he was informed of his most recent historical achievement.

Curry was informed by Tim Roye, the Warriors’ longtime announcer, that he had surpassed Nate Thurmond in the record number of minutes played in team history.

Curry replied, “Good gracious, I gotta go get in the cold tub because I’m tired.” That’s the stuff you don’t tell me, so don’t tell me that.

Curry passed Thurmond’s record of 30,729 minutes played over 11 seasons with the Golden State Warriors halfway through the last quarter. Since being chosen by the Warriors in 2009, he has now played 30,735 minutes for them.

Coach Steve Kerr stated on Tuesday, “I don’t know if anyone at his position, at his size, has played as effectively as Steph has at this age.” “There must be a few names. I saw Steve Nash perform at a high caliber of play far into his late 30s. It seems as though Steph is simply operating at a higher level. He looks better than he has in a long time.

Moses Moody, a third-year guard, said that observing Curry’s longevity up close is motivating.

Have you heard the saying, “Never meet your idol?” That’s not him at all,” Moody remarked. He serves as a kind of role model, demonstrating what is achievable and what it takes to succeed. You work hard to rise to the top of the hill, yet many others take time off after you do. That’s when the thrown is passed to someone else. He’s the man at the top, the king of the hill, and he puts in more effort at work than he did when he first arrived.

After a turnover by the two-time MVP, Kerr took Curry out of the game a little early in the third quarter, setting up Curry to come back in the fourth quarter with an opportunity to expand the lead to eleven points.

After the game, with the Warriors’ lead at 14, Kerr remarked, “I was going to try to get him out for a couple minutes in the middle of the quarter but that opportunity didn’t present itself.” “Obviously, we had to win this one, so I spent the entire fourth with him.”

Curry made a suggestion that when he was younger and the Warriors were crushing opponents, he might have enjoyed the aggressive fourth-quarter rotation.

“If Coach had played us a few more fourth quarters back in the day, I might have (passed Thurmond) like three years ago,” he joked.
