Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in National Basketball Association (NBA) history, continues to cement his legacy both on and off the court. Beyond his four championships and two MVP awards, Curry is credited with revolutionizing the game of basketball, ushering in a new era defined by pace, spacing, and long-range shooting. His impact has shaped everything from youth basketball to NBA defensive schemes, making him one of the most influential players in modern sports.
With his resume all but guaranteeing a future place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Curry recently offered a glimpse into that milestone moment. In an interview with NBA legend Vince Carter, the 37-year-old was asked who he would want on stage as his official presenters during his Hall of Fame induction. Curry did not hesitate in naming the individuals he wants standing beside him when the honor becomes official.
“I mean, you. Steve Nash, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen are the names that I think off the top of my head. Those are my guys, though. It’s crazy to even say out loud,” Curry said.

The future Hall of Famer’s choices reflect deep personal and professional connections. Curry has described Carter as a family mentor figure, having played alongside Curry’s father, Dell, with the Toronto Raptors during the early 2000s. Carter’s “Vinsanity” era helped reshape the modern NBA’s style and athleticism—an influence Curry openly appreciates.
Curry’s admiration for Ray Allen and Reggie Miller is well-documented. He broke Allen’s all-time three-point record during the 2021–22 season, surpassing the very players he studied growing up. Both sharpshooters embraced Curry’s ascent and celebrated him publicly, reinforcing their bond as three of the sport’s greatest perimeter threats.
Meanwhile, Curry credits Steve Nash for influencing critical aspects of his game. Nash served as a player development consultant for the Warriors early in Curry’s career, offering guidance on pace, decision-making, and shooting mechanics. Curry has repeatedly acknowledged Nash’s role in shaping his evolution into a transformative offensive force.
Despite his monumental accomplishments, Curry remains grounded about where he currently stands in his career timeline. Now entering his 17th NBA season, he acknowledges that he is much closer to the end than the beginning. Yet, he insists that his competitive drive remains as strong as ever.
“I guess the only thing is being able to embrace the fact that there are less days ahead on the court than there are behind, so I don’t run away from the fact of your mortality in the sense of your basketball mortality. I know that I don’t have that many years left, but the idea of just honing in on the now, and there’s a sense of urgency at the moment because I still have a lot to prove on the court. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. We have got to hold on for as long as we can,” he added.
Curry’s comments highlight a superstar who remains driven by the pursuit of excellence rather than nostalgia. Even as he acknowledges the reality of the late stages of his career, his focus stays firmly on winning, improving, and extending the Warriors’ championship window. Whether or not more titles follow, his legacy as a game-changing icon is already secure—and his future Hall of Fame induction, with the legends he admires standing beside him, promises to be one of the most memorable moments in basketball history.
