Steph Curry Issues Strong Statement on Bold Post-Retirement Plans

Golden State Warriors star point guard Steph Curry has two years left on his contract. The two-time MVP and four-time champion becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

Curry will be 39 in 2027. While it's unknown when the 2022 Finals MVP will retire from the NBA, he already has plans for his post-basketball life.

A future Hall of Famer, Curry has spent his entire career with the Warriors. He has made the most 3-pointers in NBA history and will go down as one of the top players of all time.

Curry has career averages of 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists. He was named to the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team in 2022.

The 37-year-old Curry wants to follow in the footsteps of another guy who is on that 75th Anniversary Team. That would be NBA legend Michael Jordan.

During an interview with Alex Sherman of CNBC, Curry said he plans to pursue team ownership after retiring from the NBA like Jordan did with the Charlotte Hornets.

"He might be the only one in our generation who has sat in that seat and done it that way," Curry said. "The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated — how you're going after true winning, like we've done here with the Warriors — that's something I'm excited about pursuing.

"It's interesting. Obviously, as an active player, you can't participate in that level until you're done. So you'll see me in the seat somewhere down the road."

Jordan owned the Hornets from 2010 to 2023. He's the only former NBA player to hold a majority stake in a team.
