Steph Curry says Hornets are the only team he'd play for 'not named the Warriors'

This week, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry returned to his alma mater Davidson College, not only to receive his degree but also to be honored by the school for his basketball achievements. 

After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, Curry had his No. 30 retired before being enshrined in the Davidson College Hall of Fame. 

The celebrations weren't over, however, as Curry received the key to the city of Charlotte on Thursday. 

After accepting the key, Curry delighted the crowd by teasing the possibility of playing for the Hornets one day. 

"I've always said I want to finish my career at Golden State because of how much it means to me," Curry said. "The experiences, the teammates, and the journey from then on, everybody asks me, 'oh, you don't want to play one year for the Hornets and come back?'"

Curry's statement fired up the crowd before Curry extinguished the excitement a little bit. 

"I am not breaking any news right now. I'm not making any promises," Curry said. "All I would say is if there was a team that I did want to play for that was not named the Warriors, that would be it. That's all I can say about that." 

Curry has consistently voiced his desire to be a Warrior for life. The reigning NBA Finals MVP won't be an unrestricted free agent until 2026 when he's 38. 

The 34-year-signed a four-year, $215 million extension with the Warriors before the start of the 2021-22 season.
