Warriors’ Stephen Curry Claims He’s Done: “That Was the Last One”

The Golden State Warriors suffered a surprising 119-126 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, March 1. Despite their efforts, they couldn’t overcome the 76ers’ strong performance, adding another setback to their season.

Although the Warriors fell short, Stephen Curry delivered an impressive performance. The veteran guard tallied 29 points, 13 assists, and 5 rebounds while shooting 55.6% from the field and 41.7% from beyond the arc. He also remained perfect at the free-throw line, converting all four of his attempts.

Late in the fourth quarter, with just over seven minutes remaining, Curry found himself in transition. Sprinting ahead on a fastbreak, he received the ball, drove into the lane, and surprised fans by finishing the play with a dunk.

After the game, Stephen Curry made a surprising declaration about his dunk. Speaking to the media, he admitted that it was likely the last time fans would see him dunk in an NBA game.

“That will probably be my last one, though,” Curry said. “I’m calling it right now. That was the last one you’ll see.” His statement made it clear that he doesn’t plan on attempting another dunk in the future.

Curry explained that the dunk took a lot out of him physically. “For sure, I will only lay the ball up,” he added. “It took everything out of me to get up there.” At 36 years old, the veteran sharpshooter seems ready to leave dunking behind.

Curry still has time left in his career to potentially prove himself wrong. He has another year remaining on his four-year, $215 million contract, along with a one-year extension for the 2026-27 season worth an additional $62.5 million.

With nearly 200 NBA games left on his deal—including potential playoff appearances—there remains a small chance that fans could see him dunk again. While Curry insists he’s done, the possibility isn’t entirely ruled out.

Even if he never dunks again, his impact on the game won’t be defined by high-flying finishes. As one of the greatest shooters in history, his legacy is built on skill, leadership, and the ability to deliver in the biggest moments.
