Steph Curry<\/a> is one of the most successful NBA stars in the game currently.<\/p>\n

Being in the league since 2009, the Golden State Warriors\u2019 guard knows that the time for retirement is getting much closer. However, the 37-year-old All-Star is still playing at too high a level to call it a career. <\/p>\n

But Curry isn\u2019t in the game just to rack up more points and All-Star nods. The former MVP is confident that he\u2019s still got what it takes to lead a team to another NBA Finals victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still feel like I can lead a team to win at the highest level,\u201d Curry told ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s superstar talent in the West. Teams have been doing it. OKC, the reigning champs. You\u2019ve got Denver trying to retool. You go down the list. For me, it\u2019s about being able to perform night in, night out. That\u2019s what the summer work is for: building chemistry from the jump with my guys. I\u2019m excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the Warriors competed in a tough Western Conference, relying heavily on Steph Curry to adjust to key roster changes as the season played out. Eventually, the Warriors felt comfortable with adding another All-Star in Jimmy Butler.<\/p>\n

The Warriors managed to make the NBA Playoffs by cracking the seventh seed with a 48-34 record. The Houston Rockets notched the second seed, which led them to face the Warriors in round one. The experienced Golden State squad took down the Rockets before losing in the second round.<\/p>\n

Heading into the next season, the Warriors\u2019 core veteran group is obviously confident in its ability to make a deep run in the NBA Playoffs. Curry, who is still one of the most dominant guards in the game, knows exactly what it takes to not only win in the West, but take home the Larry O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n

A lot of Golden State\u2019s success will hinge on what Curry can bring to the table. Last season, he managed to appear in 70 games for the Warriors. Curry shot 45 percent from the field and 40 percent from three. The Warriors\u2019 star averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. <\/p>\n

Heading into year 17, Curry is on the hunt for his fifth NBA Championship. <\/p>\n
