"I feel great. I feel like I can go another two to four years," Green told Mark Medina of Essentially Sports. "I think for me, I always want to try to compete at an elite level. If I can't do that, then it's not as fun. But what I will say is that I have more left than I thought I would at this point.
"So, as the years have gone by, the outlook on when I'll be done has changed," he added. "I thought I'd get to Year 12 and that I'd be breaking down. But by the time I got to Year 12, I felt like I was still getting better."
Green has spent all 14 seasons of his NBA career with the Warriors, averaging 8.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists across 926 regular-season games.
The four-time All-Star and four-time NBA champion remains productive this season as well, posting averages of 8.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.1 assists – numbers very close to his career marks.
He holds a player option worth $27.7 million for the final year of his contract, which he must decide on by June 29.
