MANILA, Philippines — Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry is only 27 years old with his entire career still ahead of him, but the Golden State Warriors star point guard is already thinking about his legacy.
"I wanna be a Hall of Famer and be somebody that people remember for a very, very long time and to inspire the next generation to keep building the game of basketball like it was built before me," the 6-foot-3 NBA champion admitted during a press conference for the Under Armour Road Show Manila leg on Saturday, September 5 at the Raffles Hotel in Makati.

Curry, who made a name for himself in his 6-year NBA career so far as a lethal, reliable and creative shooter, also shared his immediate objective.
"I want to do all those things again for sure. That's a start," he said, referring to winning another NBA championship last June when they beat the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in 6 games.

"The feeling that we have on the podium after we won Game 6 in the Finals was such an amazing feeling."
"Every time I see a picture of us with the championship and the hats and confetti, I want to work hard to get back and do it again. That's the short term goal," added the 2009 7th overall draft pick who normed 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds for the 2014-15 NBA season.
