As Steph Curry continues to dominate the NBA court, he is also looking towards the future. The 10-time NBA All-Star recently discussed his plans for life after basketball in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.” Curry’s vision extends beyond just his basketball career, as he has already started venturing into various businesses and projects.
At 36 years old, Curry already has a media company, Unanimous Media, and a youth golf tour, Underrated, under his belt. He is not stopping there, expressing interest in NBA team ownership. Curry believes he has the skills to help maintain the NBA’s current success and lead a championship organization in the future.
With a recent one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, Curry is committed to playing until at least 2027. Despite his age, he believes he still has a lot to achieve on the court before transitioning into a different role within the league.
Having seen NBA legend Michael Jordan venture into team ownership with the Charlotte Hornets, Curry is inspired to follow a similar path. The potential expansion of the NBA in the coming years also adds to his interest in ownership. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s plans for expansion following a lucrative new media deal have caught Curry’s attention.
Throughout his career, Curry has been able to witness firsthand the inner workings of a successful organization. The Golden State Warriors owners, Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, have set a high standard for player treatment, which has influenced Curry’s perspective on running a team.
As Steph Curry continues to make his mark in the NBA, his ambitions off the court are equally remarkable. With a keen eye on the future and a drive for success, Curry is well on his way to leaving a lasting legacy not only as a player but also as a business mogul and potentially an NBA team owner.
