Stephen Curry Sets Sights on NBA Team Ownership, Inspired by Michael Jordan
Stephen Curry expresses desire to transition into NBA ownership post-retirement, drawing inspiration from Michael Jordan's legacy.
Stephen Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, is contemplating his future in the NBA beyond his playing career. He has expressed a keen interest in following in the footsteps of Michael Jordan, who became the first former NBA player to hold a majority stake in a franchise. Curry aims to shift from his current player role to potentially owning part of an NBA team after his retirement.
In a recent interview, Curry noted his admiration for Jordan’s journey, as he pursued an ownership position after leading his own successful playing career. “He might be the only one in our generation who has sat in that seat and done it that way,” Curry remarked to CNBC, emphasizing his desire to make a significant impact similar to what he experienced with the Warriors.
Currently, the Warriors are valued at approximately $8.8 billion, ranking them as the most valuable team in the league. However, the possibility of Curry entering ownership—whether as a majority or minority stakeholder—remains undetermined. He acknowledged the various levels of investment in such an endeavor, leaving the door open for different avenues.
As he prepares for the final years of his contract, which includes a record salary in the upcoming seasons, Curry’s financial success—over $410 million in career earnings—positions him well for whatever endeavors lie ahead after basketball.
