Stephen Curry Interested In Owning NBA Team One Day

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is interested in owning an NBA team one day. 

“For me, that’s definitely on the table,” Curry told CNBC. “I think I could do a pretty good job of helping sustain how great the the NBA is right now and what it takes to run a championship organization.”

Curry is 36. He turns 37 next season. 

“I know I have a lot more to accomplish on the court before I move into other roles in the league,” Curry said. 

Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension with the Warriors last week. The future Hall of Famer is under contract now with Golden State through the 2026-27 season. 

Curry appeared in 74 games this past season. He averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting 45.0% from the field, 40.8% from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the free-throw line. 

The Warriors drafted Curry with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Curry, who turns 37 next season, has career averages of 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists. He’s won four championships, two MVPs, one Finals MVP and two scoring titles. 

During a conversation with NBA reporter Marc J. Spears of Andscape, Curry spoke about his future with the Warriors, who lost Klay Thompson this offseason to the Dallas Mavericks. 

“I’ve always said I want to be a Warrior for life,” Curry said. “At this stage in my career, I feel like that’s possible. And you can still be a competitive, it doesn’t mean you guaranteed the championship. It doesn’t mean winning. Winning is always a priority, but obviously you’re realistic. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen if you stay the course. You need to shake things up and keep reimagining what it looks like to evolve with what league is at right now, with where some of these talented teams are now.

“I’m taking it one step at a time to be honest. I think that’s the only way that will protect my happiness. Also, it allows me to enjoy being myself when I’m out there playing. And I’ll continue to make the decisions that are best for me and for my career at the end of the day when it comes to just the imagination. I want to win. Let’s put it this way, it’s a longwinded way of saying that it if it is a situation where you’re a bottom feeder and it’s just because you want to stay there, I’d have a hard time with that. But I don’t think that’s going to be the reality.”
