Steph Curry has expressed interest in becoming an NBA team owner, joining other superstars with similar ambitions.
The four-time NBA champion and 10-time All-Star shared his thoughts on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” regarding his future plans.
Curry, 36, is already involved in various ventures, including his media company Unanimous Media and the Underrated youth golf tour.
He mentioned that NBA team ownership is a goal he is seriously considering once his playing career concludes.
“For me, that’s definitely on the table,” Curry said, highlighting his belief that he could contribute significantly to maintaining the NBA’s excellence, as reported by Jessica Golden of CNBC.
Curry recently signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension with the Golden State Warriors, keeping him with the team through 2027.
This contract will last until he is 39, allowing him to continue his on-court achievements before transitioning into other roles.
His interest in ownership has been influenced by observing Michael Jordan’s tenure as owner of the Charlotte Hornets and the potential for NBA expansion.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced in July that the league will explore expansion opportunities after completing a new $77 billion media deal.
Curry’s rival and Olympic teammate, LeBron James, has also shown interest in team ownership, particularly if Las Vegas receives a franchise.
According to Curry, the high standards set by the Warriors’ owners have provided him with valuable insights into running a world-class organization.
