The NBA season is just days away, and Stephen Curry — entering his 17th year in the league — will tip things off on opening night, Oct. 21, as the Golden State Warriors face the Los Angeles Lakers.

While the 37-year-old superstar prepares for another run with Golden State, he continues to make moves off the court as well. This week, Curry was revealed as the exclusive cover star of Cigar & Spirits Magazine’s Fall 2025 issue.

Curry reacted to the announcement on Wednesday, posting photos from the shoot and writing, “Behind the scenes in earth tones. Shoutout [Cigar & Spirits] for highlighting [Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon] on the cover of this month’s issue,” referencing his personal bourbon brand.
