Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is one of the most recognizable players in NBA history. He single-handedly ushered the league into the modern era with his 3-point shot, and he and LeBron James have long been the most marketable stars in the world.
However, Curry is 37 years old. With four titles to his name, the end is approaching fast, and he has already started contemplating what he will do after his playing career.
Curry is heavily invested in golf, merchandise, and women's basketball, and would like to pursue team ownership after he retires. However, he and longtime teammate Draymond Green could continue to work together, even off the court.
Even as he plays, Green has emerged as an aspiring journalist and television personality. He frequently made appearances on TNT's Inside the NBA and hosts a podcast with former player Baron Davis.
When Green retires, it is all but confirmed that he will begin a media career, and Curry could follow a similar path.
"[Curry] could likely make millions by joining an NBA studio show on NBC, ESPN or Amazon Prime Video when he retires," reported CNBC's Alex Sherman. "Curry said he would 'for sure' consider a broadcasting job, though he won’t rush into it."
Former players and coaches like Reggie Miller, Stan Van Gundy, Kendrick Perkins, Jay Williams, Richard Jefferson, Candace Parker, and others have all made even bigger names for themselves as media personalities, although Curry would instantly be the most recognizable.
Curry and Green could team up after retiring and copy Monday Night Football's Manningcast model, where the two provide game coverage and reminisce about their playing days.
Both are under contract through the 2026-27 season, but after that, retirement is certainly looming for both of them.
