As Stephen Curry approaches the twilight of his illustrious NBA career, the Golden State Warriors star is already charting a multifaceted path for life after basketball. With interests spanning broadcasting, team ownership, and professional golf, Curry is poised to make a significant impact beyond the hardwood.
Acknowledging the Inevitable
At 36, Curry remains a formidable presence on the court, but he’s candid about the finite nature of his playing days. “The end is near,” he admitted in a December 2024 interview, emphasizing a renewed focus on savoring each moment and maximizing his contributions while still active. Despite a slight dip in performance metrics, Curry’s commitment to excellence remains unwavering.
Venturing into Team Ownership
Curry has expressed a keen interest in owning an NBA team post-retirement. “I think I could do a pretty good job of helping sustain how great the NBA is right now and what it takes to run a championship organization,” he stated. His firsthand experience in building a winning culture with the Warriors positions him well for such a role.
Embracing Broadcasting and Media
Beyond ownership, Curry is exploring opportunities in broadcasting and media. His involvement in projects like the mockumentary ‘Mr. Throwback’ showcases his versatility and desire to remain connected to the sport in innovative ways. Collaborations with peers like LeBron James further highlight his commitment to crafting a dynamic post-playing career.
Deepening Ties with Golf
An avid golfer, Curry is expanding his footprint in the sport. He’s set to return to the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe in July 2025, where he previously clinched a dramatic victory in 2023. His passion for golf also extends to ownership; he co-owns The Bay Golf Club, part of the innovative TGL (Tomorrow’s Golf League) founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Philanthropy and Youth Development
Curry’s commitment to social impact is evident through initiatives like the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Ayesha. The foundation focuses on improving children’s lives through nutrition, education, and physical activity. Additionally, Curry’s Underrated Golf Tour aims to promote diversity and inclusion in golf, providing opportunities for underrepresented youth.
