Stephen Curry, about the possible departure of Kerr: "I don't want another coach"

The new 2025/26 season of the NBA will start somewhat tense for the Golden State Warriors. Statements by GM Mike Dunleavy hinted that the possibility of Steve Kerr leaving the franchise's bench was high. Therefore, Stephen Curry has spoken out decisively about it.

Stephen Curry made it clear: he cannot imagine his final years in the NBA with a coach other than Steve Kerr. At 37 years old and with almost two decades in the league, the  Warriors point guard reaffirmed his desire to end his legendary career alongside the coach who has been his guide, complement, and accomplice in one of the most successful eras in history (with 4 champion rings).

“I do not want to,” Curry responded firmly when asked if he would be willing to play under another coach. “We deserve it. Things change in this league, often out of our control. But I believe we are in a unique situation and deserve the opportunity to move forward together.”

Curry and Kerr have been together for 12 seasons, an alliance that has defined the Warriors of the 21st century. Under the coach's leadership, Golden State has won four championships, played six NBA Finals, and completely transformed the way modern basketball is played.

Their connection has been compared to historical duos like Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan or Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan.

“There is no Steph without Steve,” summarized Draymond Green, one of the most influential veterans in the locker room. “It's like when MJ used to say: ‘If Phil is not here, I'm not here either.’ It's very similar.”

Kerr also cannot imagine being on another bench

The coach, on the other hand, has been equally transparent. In a recent statement to ESPN, Kerr stated that he does not plan to seek another team once his current contract ends. “I'm not going to finish my contract and say, ‘I think I'll try somewhere else.’ That's not going to happen,” he explained.
